When el0 exception occurs, kernel_entry/exit will load/save tsk->scs_sp
to ensure scs working properly. AFAIK, the SCS offset should always be
0 at this time.
Is it reasonable to reload x18 to scs_base directly in kernel_entry
here, or am I missing something?

AFAICT the saving here is just that we avoid storing the SCS SP upon return to
EL0, and I suspect that in practice that's not measureable.
So without numbers to show otherwise, I'd prefer to leave this as-is, though I
agree that this patch should work. If we do want to change this, I think we
need a comment in the `kernel_exit` path to pair with the `scs_load` in
`kernel_entry`.
Thanks,
Mark.

Yes, there is only one instruction saved here, which should have a
minimal impact on performance.
The current code is also good for me :)
