[root@jouet ~]# grep ffffffffbd295b50 /proc/kallsyms 
ffffffffbd295b50 T SyS_epoll_wait
ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait

Adding some printfs in debuginfo__find_probe_point()

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 : ffffffffbd295b50
dwarf_addrdie(ffffffffbd295b50)
dwarf_addrdie(ffffffffbd295b50)
Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffbd295b50
Probe point 'sys_epoll_wait' not found.
  Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)
[root@jouet ~]# grep ffffffffbd295b50 /proc/kallsyms 
ffffffffbd295b50 T SyS_epoll_wait
ffffffffbd295b50 T sys_epoll_wait
[root@jouet ~]#

So:

int err = debuginfo__get_text_offset(dbg, &baseaddr);

is returning 0, no relocation, its dwarf_addrdie() that is not finding
SyS_epoll_wait from its address.

Trying to figure out why dwarf_addrdie(0xffffffffbd295b50) fails...
