MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org

Based on the implementation in kernel/bpf/syscall.c,
kernel/bpf/trampoline.c, include/linux/filter.h, and the documentation
in bpftool-prog.rst.

Notes:
    This patch is intended for docs-next, but I'd appreciate reviews from
    BPF developers.
    
    Changes since v3:
    - moved back to docs-next.
    
    Changes since v2:
    - fixed "will disabled" typo.
    
    Changes since v1:
    - rebased on bpf-next instead of docs-next.

+Controls whether the kernel should collect statistics on BPF programs

+statistics causes a slight reduction in performance on each program
