[PATCH 04/18] arm64: kernel: avoid x18 as an arbitrary temp register
From: Sami Tolvanen
Date: Fri Oct 18 2019 - 12:11:02 EST
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
The code in __cpu_soft_restart() uses x18 as an arbitrary temp register,
which will shortly be disallowed. So use x8 instead.
