    Subject[PATCH v11 05/12] arm64: reserve x18 from general allocation with SCS
    From
    Reserve the x18 register from general allocation when SCS is enabled,
    because the compiler uses the register to store the current task's
    shadow stack pointer. Note that all external kernel modules must also be
    compiled with -ffixed-x18 if the kernel has SCS enabled.
