Thanks for providing a detailed set of steps to test your patch, that is
great!

I added this, an alterenative way to test it, combining all the aspects
in one 'perf trace' call:

Committer testing:

I had to add some missing headers in the bpf_sched_setscheduler.c test
proggie, then instead of using record+script I used 'perf trace' to
drive everything in one go:

  # cat bpf_sched_setscheduler.c
  #include <linux/types.h>
  #include <bpf.h>

  static void (*bpf_trace_printk)(const char *fmt, int fmt_size, ...) = (void *) 6;
  static int (*bpf_probe_read_user)(void *dst, __u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 112;
  static int (*bpf_probe_read_kernel)(void *dst, __u32 size, const void *unsafe_ptr) = (void *) 113;

  SEC("func=do_sched_setscheduler  pid policy param->sched_priority@user")
  int bpf_func__setscheduler(void *ctx, int err, pid_t pid, int policy, int param)
  {
          char fmt[] = "prio: %ld";
          bpf_trace_printk(fmt, sizeof(fmt), param);
          return 1;
  }

  char _license[] SEC("license") = "GPL";
  int _version SEC("version") = LINUX_VERSION_CODE;
  #
  #
  # perf trace -e bpf_sched_setscheduler.c chrt -f 42 sleep 1
     0.000 chrt/80125 perf_bpf_probe:func(__probe_ip: -1676607808, policy: 1, sched_priority: 42)
  #

And even with backtraces :-)

  # perf trace -e bpf_sched_setscheduler.c/max-stack=8/ chrt -f 42 sleep 1
       0.000 chrt/79805 perf_bpf_probe:func(__probe_ip: -1676607808, policy: 1, sched_priority: 42)
