In a subsequent patch ret_to_user will need to make a C function call (in some configurations) which may clobber x0-x18 at the start of the finish_ret_to_user block, before enable_step_tsk consumes the flags loaded into x1. In preparation for this, let's load the flags into x19, which is preserved across C function calls. This avoids a redundant reload of the flags and ensures we operate on a consistent shapshot regardless. There should be no functional change as a result of this patch. At this point of the entry/exit paths we only need to preserve x28 (tsk) and the sp, and x19 is free for this use.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
