This made me curious, so I asked around. Apparently it stands for "Thomas, Ingo, Peter" because it started out as a shared tree for Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar and Peter Anvin. Today, it should really be called TIPPBD, because it's also shared with Peter Zijlstra, Boris Petkov and Dave Hansen. -K

Interesting! If anyone else stumbles upon the 'TIP' acronym in future, it might be helpful to add it to the Kernel Glossary[1]. I would appreciate hearing the community's thoughts on this idea. [1]: https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelGlossary Josh

Or edit the description to describe the current purpose of this repo? Unnamed repository; edit this file 'description' to name the repository. -- Valentin

"Thomas" "Ingo" "Peter", the original maintainers of that tree (i.e. the x86 maintainers tree, which has now grown to other people and other parts of the kernel.) thanks, greg k-h
