This approach looks more apparent!
I'll update code using this way.

Failure on link creation is exactly what I was concerned about.
Thank you for giving me a clear solution!

Thank you for pointing me out!
I've never thought about situation when processors may be offline.

About NULL set, like you mentioned, calloc approach looks more neat.

I'll try skeleton with other sample cleanup. For now, I'll stick with
bpf_object__{open/load}() instead of bpf_prog_load().

I also think it is good to specify the program title clearly.

Well, cleanup: could cover link destroy (sampling_end), but I think
it is strange to clean up the link even though the bpf program is not
attached to the event. I think it is better to specify the link destroy
after the sampling starts.

And, I've missed the link destroy when sampling got error.
Since sampling_end will destroy the links, so I'll add this on error.

       if (sampling_start(pmu_fd, freq, prog, link) != 0) {
               error = 1;
+             sampling_end(links);
               goto cleanup;
       }

AFAIK, bpf_link__detach_perf_event() closes the pmu_fd.
Am I missed something?

       static int bpf_link__detach_perf_event(struct bpf_link *link)
       // TRUNCATED
               close(link->fd);
               return err;
       }
