A subsystem pattern flags this as potentially concerning: the BPF selftests
guide asks that test binaries emit TAP-compliant output via kselftest.h
(ksft_set_plan()/ksft_finished()) rather than hand-formatting their own
summary lines with printf(), so that kselftest runners and CI can parse the
results uniformly.

test_progs.c has always had its own reporting framework and does not use
kselftest.h; this predates the patch by many years and converting it is far
outside the scope of this change. The patch only widens one existing field on
an already ad hoc line.

The changelog acknowledges that the field-format change means "anything
scraping 'N FAILED' out of it needs updating." A search over .github/workflows,
.github/scripts, ci/, tools/testing/selftests/bpf/*.sh and Documentation/
turned up no in-tree parser of the test_progs summary line.

Does this output format remain compatible with the consumers you're aware of?
