Public bug reported:

This is a feature request for 16.10:

SDT events are markers placed at important places in the binaries. When
they are probed and traced, they can give valuable information about the
userspace application. This feature aims to enable perf to probe/record
on SDT events.

Patches are being currently sent :
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/14/107 patchset for probe-cache and initial SDT support
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/5/3/810 patch to directly record on SDT events.
