Subject: [PATCH bpf-next] bpftool: Print verified instruction count in prog show
Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:16:57 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261016071700.280539-1-chenyuan_fl@163.com> (raw)

From: Yuan Chen <chenyuan@kylinos.cn>

The number of instructions processed by the verifier is available
through bpf_prog_info::verified_insns and the program's fdinfo since
commit aba64c7da983 ("bpf: Add verified_insns to bpf_prog_info and
fdinfo"), but bpftool does not display it, leaving no convenient way
to check a program's verifier cost.

Print the count in the plain and JSON output of bpftool prog show,
following the convention of the other conditional stats
(run_time_ns, run_cnt, recursion_misses): kernels that do not fill
the field leave it zeroed and nothing is printed.
