Could you tell me more about this point? I would like to know what kind of
permission checks can be bypassed with tracepoints.

I guess Uclamp is not controlled by syscall but from kernel internal
sched_setattr/setscheduler() too. Anyway I agree that it can be more generic
tracepoint, something like trace_sched_set_scheduer(task, attr).
