How can (Why can't) I trace tracepoints with perf?

I would like to trace systemwide tracepoints. Perf list tells me that the following tracepoints are available:

  block:block_io_start                               [Tracepoint event]
  block:block_plug                                   [Tracepoint event]
  block:block_rq_complete                            [Tracepoint event]
  block:block_rq_error                               [Tracepoint event]
  block:block_rq_insert                              [Tracepoint event]
...
  power:cpu_frequency                                [Tracepoint event]
  power:cpu_frequency_limits                         [Tracepoint event]
  power:cpu_idle                                     [Tracepoint event]
  power:cpu_idle_miss                                [Tracepoint event]

I understand that I should trace the tracepoints with

 perf record -e TRACEPOINT -a

for a systemwide trace. However, I am told that the tracepoint is an unsupported tracepoint:

perf record -e block:block_io_start -a      
event syntax error: 'block:block_io_start'
                     \___ unsupported tracepoint

libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

I installed all libtraceevent* pacakges. My kernel is:
