Hello:

This series was applied to bpf/bpf-next.git (master)

This is a followup to discussion around RFC patchset "bpf: keep track of
prog verification stats" [0]. The RFC elaborates on my usecase, but to
summarize: keeping track of verifier stats for programs as they - and
the kernels they run on - change over time can help developers of
individual programs and BPF kernel folks.

The RFC added a verif_stats to the uapi which contained most of the info
which verifier prints currently. Feedback here was to avoid polluting
uapi with stats that might be meaningless after major changes to the
verifier, but that insn_processed or conceptually similar number would
exist in the long term and was safe to expose.

Here is the summary with links:
  - [v3,bpf-next,1/2] bpf: add verified_insns to bpf_prog_info and fdinfo
    https://git.kernel.org/bpf/bpf-next/c/aba64c7da983
  - [v3,bpf-next,2/2] selftests/bpf: add verif_stats test

You are awesome, thank you!
