[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Add load_time in bpf_prog fdinfo

[PATCH bpf-next] bpf: Add load_time in bpf_prog fdinfo

[Tao Chen]

The field run_time_ns can tell us the run time of the bpf_prog,
and load_time_s can tell us how long the bpf_prog loaded on the
machine.

I don't like where it's going.
Soon fdinfo will be printing the xlated insns of the prog too,
since why not?
Let's stop here. We have syscall query api-s for that and
bpftool to print such things.
No more fdinfo "improvements".

Got it, Alexei, thanks for your patient explanation.
