[root@quaco ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/dynamic_events

[root@quaco ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
[root@quaco ~]#

[root@quaco ~]# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -l
  probe_perf:map__map_ip (on process_sample_event+6663@tools/perf/builtin-script.c in /home/acme/bin/perf)
  probe_perf:map__map_ip (on process_sample_event+6739@tools/perf/builtin-script.c in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  probe_perf:map__map_ip (on dso__process_kernel_symbol+336@util/symbol-elf.c in /home/acme/bin/perf)
[root@quaco ~]#

Finally it works:

[root@quaco ~]# echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/dynamic_events
[root@quaco ~]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/dynamic_events
[root@quaco ~]#
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -l
[root@quaco ~]#

A workaround, now to find out why 'perf probe -d '*:*' and the other
reported variants are failing...
