Still unable reproduce. I tried tip/core/core, which is '4.7.0+'.
I also turns off CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO. In this case, testcase
BPF prologue fails as expected, and basic BPF test is okay.

After removing vmlinux, with kallsyms information
'perf probe sys_epoll_wait' sets only 1 kprobe, but it still
works.

I think there is a bug in your vmlinux. Could you please
do a bisect to find which commit causes this problem?

Thank you.
