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

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.
