Two things I noticed below, otherwise for BPF bits:

Wouldn't this one rather need to be:

if (off == offsetof(struct bpf_perf_event_data, sample_period) {
	if (size != sizeof(u64))
		return false;
} else {
	if (size != sizeof(long))
		return false;
}

Otherwise on 32bit accessing sample_period might fail?

Would be good to add a test as we usually have done:

BUILD_BUG_ON(FIELD_SIZEOF(struct perf_sample_data, period) != 8);
