====================
Before func_info and line_info are added to the kernel, there are several
fields in structure bpf_prog_info specifying the "count" of a user buffer, e.g.,
__u32 nr_jited_ksyms;
__u32 nr_jited_func_lens;
The naming convention has the prefix "nr_".
The func_info and line_info support added several fields
__u32 func_info_cnt;
__u32 line_info_cnt;
__u32 jited_line_info_cnt;
to indicate the "count" of buffers func_info, line_info and jited_line_info.
The original intention is to keep the field names the same as those in
structure bpf_attr, so it will be clear that the "count" returned to user
space will be the same as the one passed to the kernel during prog load.
Unfortunately, the field names *_info_cnt are not consistent with
other existing fields in bpf_prog_info.
This patch set renamed the fields *_info_cnt to nr_*_info
to keep naming convention consistent.

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
