Same number, but then I forgot to add the 'taskset -c 0' part of the
command line, if I have it:

[root@...e ~]# perf stat -e context-switches,cgroup-switches taskset -c 0 perf bench sched pipe -l 10000
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
# Executed 10000 pipe operations between two processes

     Total time: 0.072 [sec]

       7.231500 usecs/op
         138283 ops/sec

            20,002      context-switches
                 3      cgroup-switches

[root@...e ~]#

I.e. it works as in your results, but can you please spell out why that
'taskset -c 0' is needed to get these results?

I wasn't expecting the same number of cgroup-switches when not using
'taskset -c 0' :-\
