Subject: [PATCH 4/6] prctl: rename branch landing pad implementation functions to be more explicit
Date: Fri, 3 Apr 2026 19:41:38 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <177526689284.878386.17795753109672716018.stgit@seppa> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <177526680875.878386.16551569883089050686.stgit@seppa>
Per Linus' comments about the unreadability of abbreviations such as
"indir_br_lp", rename the three prctl() implementation functions to be more
explicit. This involves renaming "indir_br_lp_status" in the function
names to "branch_landing_pad_state".
While here, add _prctl_ into the function names, following the
speculation control prctl implementation functions.
