Hmm, strange... what's this magic number ...?
Actually debuginfo__get_text_offset() is for kernel modules and it relocate the offset.
But I guess sys_epoll_wait is in the kernel.

Mine shows
----
Using /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64/vmlinux for symbols
Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/4.6.4-301.fc24.x86_64/vmlinux
Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
Symbol sys_epoll_wait address found : ffffffff81292d60  <-(*)
Matched function: SyS_epoll_wait
found inline addr: 0xffffffff812930f3
Probe point found: compat_SyS_epoll_pwait+147

Probe point found: SyS_epoll_wait+0
Found 3 probe_trace_events.

See the symbol address calcurated from symbol map, in successful case
the address exactly same address of SyS_epoll_wait. This indicates
something might wrong in the symbol map. (maybe KASLR?)
Could you check what happen if nokaslr is passed to your kernel?

Thank you,
