FYI, on ubuntu16.04, I can put probes on sys_epoll_wait as below

mhiramat@devnote:~/ksrc/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -vnf 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 /usr/lib/debug/boot/vmlinux-4.4.0-31-generic for symbols

Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_wait_1 _text+2454893
Writing event: p:probe/sys_epoll_wait_2 _text+2455443
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
