Subject: [PATCH v4 05/11] x86/vmscape: Rename x86_ibpb_exit_to_user to x86_predictor_flush_exit_to_user
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 22:18:49 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119-vmscape-bhb-v4-5-1adad4e69ddc@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119-vmscape-bhb-v4-0-1adad4e69ddc@linux.intel.com>

With the upcoming changes x86_ibpb_exit_to_user will also be used when BHB
clearing sequence is used. Rename it cover both the cases.

No functional change.
