This still appears to be an issue. Events are listed in `perf list` but not available for use by `perf record`
e.g. $ sudo /usr/lib/linux-tools/6.2.0-39-generic/perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_fsync -ag event syntax error: 'syscalls:sys_enter_fsync' \___ unsupported tracepoint libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>] or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events ➜ test git:(UPM-29742) ✗ /usr/lib/linux-tools/6.2.0-39-generic/perf version perf version 6.2.16 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2019247 Title: perf should be compiled with libtraceevent Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: libtraceevent was removed from the kernel tree in https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20221130062935.2219247-1-irog...@google.com/. The linux-tools-6.2.0-20-generic I have in Lunar doesn't not use compile perf against libtraceevent, making perf unable to record traceevents.
