There is a callback for it already. But now, I remember Adrian
suggesting, to change
it to: perf_event__drop_oe(). In fact, if you look at builtin-inject.c
it has a comment about

For me on Ubuntu:
$ dpkg -S /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives
java-common: /usr/sbin/update-java-alternatives

Could you check on Fedora if you do not have that package or its equivalent?
