So you mean like this?

   struct perf_event *event;

   event = array->events[index];
   ...
}

yes. the only thing needed is to add:
if (index >= array->map.max_entries)
        return -E2BIG;
before accessing array->events[index];

  ARG_ANYTHING means any (initialized) argument is ok, but we here

correct.

  really want is map key. So I'm not sure ARG_ANYTHING is suitable.
  You know ARG_ANYTHING is not checked enough in verifier.

why? during perf_event_array creation time we check that key_size == u32
so we can accept any integer.
ARG_PTR_TO_MAP_KEY forces program author to use stack instead of
passing index directly. Direct index is obviously faster.
