So, trying to use that vmlinux with objdump to do disassembly I found
that I need to do some offsetting, and after calculating it, this made
things works for me:

diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c b/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c
index f2d9ff064e2d..9b95754f28ed 100644

 	if (!dwarf_addrdie(dbg->dbg, (Dwarf_Addr)addr, &cudie)) {
 		if (!reloc && debuginfo__get_text_offset(dbg, &baseaddr) == 0) {
+			if (baseaddr == 0)
+				baseaddr = -0x3c000000;
 			addr += baseaddr;
 			reloc = true;
 			goto retry;

----------------

With it, which is not a proper fix, of course, we get:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe sys_epoll_wait
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

[root@jouet ~]# 

Which, using -v shows it "finding" the alias:

[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -v sys_epoll_wait

Now to figure out why baseaddr is returning as zero...
