We can only attach the bpf program on selected CPUs. Say, we want
CPUs 1, 3, 5. We just do
for (i in [1, 3, 5]) {
link = bpf_program__attach_perf_event(skel->progs.on_switch,
FD(cgrp_switch, i));
/* */
}
The value arrays are still for all cpu, but they will just report zero
for CPU 0, 2, 4, ....
Would this work?

This is right (for user space).
