to "CET" (which is a well-known acronym for "Central European Time"), not to CFE?I don't know if I can change that, will find out.So what I'd suggest is something pretty simple: to use CFT/cft in kernel internal names, except for the Intel feature bit and any MSR enumeration which can be CET if Intel named it that way, and a short comment explaining the acronym difference. Or something like that.Actually, I don't think CFT is much better -- there's limited number of TLAs (*). "ENFORCE_FLOW"? "FLOWE"? "EFLOW"?
Erm, I wanted to say 'CFE', i.e. the abbreviation of 'Control Flow Enforcement'. But I guess I can live with CET as well ... Thanks, Ingo
