[PATCH 4.19 054/267] x86/speculation: Change misspelled STIPB to STIBP

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Waiman Long <longman@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit aa77bfb354c495fc4361199e63fc5765b9e1e783 ]

STIBP stands for Single Thread Indirect Branch Predictors. The acronym,
however, can be easily mis-spelled as STIPB. It is perhaps due to the
presence of another related term - IBPB (Indirect Branch Predictor
Barrier).

Fix the mis-spelling in the code.
