Building an unpatched Linus kernel as an RPM
 

Reading:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel

I know how to rebuild the kernel RPM and have done it many times.
But I've been asked to reproduce a bug using a completely vanilla
unpatched Linus kernel. Do we have a recommended way to do that
(but still using RPM)?

Yep, you just need to define with_vanilla 1 in the spec file. If you
just search for vanilla in kernel.spec it's reasonably straight
forward.
