Martin and I have discussed an idea to introduce a generic helper like
bpf_get_kern_ctx(void *ctx)
Given a context, the helper will return a PTR_TO_BTF_ID representing the
corresponding kernel ctx. So in the above example, user could call

struct bpf_perf_event_data_kern *kctx = bpf_get_kern_ctx(ctx);
...

To implement bpf_get_kern_ctx helper, the verifier can find the type
of the context and provide a hidden btf_id as the second parameter of
the actual kernel helper function like
bpf_get_kern_ctx(ctx) {
return ctx;
}
/* based on ctx_btf_id, find kctx_btf_id and return it to verifier */

The bpf_get_kern_ctx helper can be inlined as well.
