Shardul Deshpande 07669b0abe treewide: fix transposed "sign" typos and update spelling.txt
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.

WangYuli 2e27fa943b treewide: fix typo "previlege"
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.

Jesse Brandeburg b8c7dd15ce kernel-wide: fix spelling mistakes like "assocative" -> "associative"
There were several instances of the string "assocat" in the kernel, which
should have been spelled "associat", with the various endings of -ive,
-ed, -ion, and sometimes beginnging with dis-.

Add to the spelling dictionary the corrections so that future instances
will be caught by checkpatch, and fix the instances found.

Originally noticed by accident with a 'git grep socat'.

Sven Eckelmann 655edc5267 scripts/spelling.txt: fix "mistake" version of "synchronization"
If both "mistake" version and "correction" version are the same, a
warning message is created by checkpatch which is impossible to fix.
But it was noticed that Colan Ian King created a commit e6c0a0889b
("ALSA: aloop: Fix spelling mistake "synchronization" ->
"synchronization"") which suggests that this spelling mistake was fixed
by replacing the word "synchronization" with itself.  But the actual
diff shows that the mistake in the code was "sychronization".  It is
rather likely that the "mistake" in spelling.txt should have been the
latter.

exist in more than two source files.

found while fixing up spelling mistakes in the kernel over the past few

Chris Paterson 85f946ffd3 scripts/spelling.txt: add spelling fix for prohibited
Misspelling 'prohibited' is quite common in the real world, although
surprisingly not so much in the Linux Kernel.  In addition to fixing the
typo we may as well add it to the spelling checker.

Also adding the present participle (prohibiting).

Paul Walmsley cc0e5f1ce0 scripts/spelling.txt: drop "sepc" from the misspelling list
The RISC-V architecture has a register named the "Supervisor Exception
Program Counter", or "sepc".  This abbreviation triggers checkpatch.pl's
misspelling detector, resulting in noise in the checkpatch output.  The
risk that this noise could cause more useful warnings to be missed seems
to outweigh the harm of an occasional misspelling of "spec".  Thus drop
the "sepc" entry from the misspelling list.

[[email protected]: fix existing "sepc" instances, per Joe]

Also add these typos to spelling.txt so checkpatch.pl will look for them.
