Correct. It only has enough of the build artifacts to develop against the
running kernel, i.e. out of tree modules (either on the build host, or on
target).
The name is historical, and isn't aligned with any specific distro (i.e. no
matter what folks say, there is no agreed upon naming for these packages,
so rather than break expectations in the ecosystem, we keep ours as it was:
kernel-devsrc).
To keep it minimal, we do use a curated version of the source (just like
redhat, etc). Footprint is very important for that package.
That being said, I do have a patch that creates a 'linux-source' package
that is the complete source, but that is really only for reference and
isn't extensively tested for building/development. I'm not in a place that
I can get that patch right now, but I can send it out a bit later today.
Out of curiosity. What is the use case that you have for the source ? With
that information, I can tweak what we are offering as needed.

Thank you Bruce. After enable kernel-devsrc, the necessary rpm had been
created.
I have one question though, the kernel-devsrc does not seem to include all
the kernel src, that has been fetched and applied patches. Why does it
call kernel-devsrc instead of just kernel-dev? Is there a way to generate
rpm for a complete kernel src with patches applied?
Anyway, I really appreciate you spent your value time to help out.

Unfortunately, kernel-dev rpm does not contains the file in $
{STAGING_KERNEL_BUILDDIR}.

It's a separate recipe. Not part of the bbclass. Build that recipe,
and install the package and you'll get what you want.

There's no bug. kernel-dev doesn't the kernel source by design. Yocto
/ oe has always had its own naming for these packages, and kernel-dev
is the images / artifacts and the directory structure. Now that
kernel-devsrc is available (it wasn't a few years ago), we actually
could remove those directories from kernel.bbclass to clarify things.

You want the kernel-devsrc package, not kernel-dev in this case.
