Hi Stephen,

I had added some logs in the BPF verifier of Kernel code, to print the
number of instructions processed and error-code returned as follows:
============================
logs # dmesg |tail -n 20
[   76.318101] #### do_check: instructions Processed 999989 insn
[   76.318102] #### do_check: instructions Processed 999990 insn
[   76.318103] #### do_check: instructions Processed 999991 insn

[   76.318224] ##########  BPF  bpf_check return err: -7..:
=========================

Only these logs which I add in the Kernel-code were printed and do not see
any other Kernel-logs.

Thanks,
Madhuker.
