This comes from a failure to list up the event name because of overwrapping its name. To fix this issue, skip to list up the event which has same name. Without this patch: # perf probe -l \* probe_perf:map__map_ip (on perf_sample__fprintf_brstackoff:21@ probe_perf:map__map_ip (on perf_sample__fprintf_brstackoff:25@ probe_perf:map__map_ip (on append_inlines:12@util/machine.c in probe_perf:map__map_ip (on unwind_entry:19@util/machine.c in / probe_perf:map__map_ip (on map__map_ip@util/map.h in /home/mhi probe_perf:map__map_ip (on map__map_ip@util/map.h in /home/mhi # perf probe -d \* "*" does not hit any event.
