/sys/kernel/tracing/uprobe_events only lists tracing events, not all uprobe events.
For example, if I write a kernel module to call the uprobe_register to add a new uprobe event, it will not be listed by /sys/kernel/tracing/uprobe_events.

Compare it with the kprobe is like:
/sys/kernel/tracing/uprobe_events -> /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events
/sys/kernel/debug/uprobes/list -> /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list

Nowadays, only the trace system uses the uprobe, so /sys/kernel/tracing/uprobe_events is enough.

But we try to extend the usage of the uprobe, and we add many uprobe events by calling the uprobe_register.

For this situation, we need a approach to see all the uprobe events in the kernel.
