I also see no sys_epoll_wait in output of 'readelf -wi', but I can't
reproduce the whole problem.

For me:

# uname -r
4.7.0

# perf probe -v sys_epoll_wait
probe-definition(0): sys_epoll_wait
symbol:sys_epoll_wait file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/4.7.0/build/vmlinux for symbols
Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/4.7.0/build/vmlinux
Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
Symbol sys_epoll_wait address found : ffffffff81281240
Matched function: SyS_epoll_wait
found inline addr: 0xffffffff81281240
Probe point found: SyS_epoll_wait+0
found inline addr: 0xffffffff812813a7
Probe point found: SyS_epoll_pwait+135
found inline addr: 0xffffffff8128157a
Probe point found: compat_SyS_epoll_pwait+154
Found 3 probe_trace_events.
Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_wait _text+2626112
Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_wait_1 _text+2626471
Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_wait_2 _text+2626938
Added new events:
probe:sys_epoll_wait (on sys_epoll_wait)
probe:sys_epoll_wait_1 (on sys_epoll_wait)
probe:sys_epoll_wait_2 (on sys_epoll_wait)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_wait_2 -aR sleep 1


I'll try different kernel version and kconfig.

Thank you.
