treewide: fix transposed "sign" typos and update spelling.txt

2026-06-17T22:37:47+00:00

Several comments transpose the letters in "assigned" and "unsigned", spelling them with "sing" instead of "sign". Correct all of them. Of these, the misspelling of "assigned" is not yet flagged by checkpatch, so also add it to scripts/spelling.txt. The remaining matches of `grep -ri singed` are RISINGEDGE register and enum names, not typos.

2026-03-28T04:19:34+00:00

scripts/spelling.txt: add "binded||bound"

2026-03-28T04:19:32+00:00

The correct passive of "to bind" is "bound", not "binded". This is often used in the context of the BSD socket bind(2) operation. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20260214140854.42247-1-gnoack3000@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Günther Noack Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

2025-08-02T19:01:40+00:00

treewide: fix typo "previlege"

2025-05-12T00:54:10+00:00

There are some spelling mistakes of 'previlege' in comments which should be 'privilege'. Fix them and add it to scripts/spelling.txt. The typo in arch/loongarch/kvm/main.c was corrected by a different patch [1] and is therefore not included in this submission.
