Ard Biesheuvel 7e611e7dbb efi/arm64: Check whether x18 is preserved by runtime services calls
Whether or not we will ever decide to start using x18 as a platform
register in Linux is uncertain, but by that time, we will need to
ensure that UEFI runtime services calls don't corrupt it.

So let's start issuing warnings now for this, and increase the
likelihood that these firmware images have all been replaced by that time.

This has been fixed on the EDK2 side in commit:

  6d73863b5464 ("BaseTools/tools_def AARCH64: mark register x18 as reserved")

dated July 13, 2017.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
