+# `fixed-x18`
+
+This option prevents the compiler from using the x18 register. It is only
+supported on aarch64.
+
+From the [ABI spec][arm-abi]:
+
+> X18 is the platform register and is reserved for the use of platform ABIs.
+> This is an additional temporary register on platforms that don't assign a
+> special meaning to it.
+
+This flag only has an effect when the x18 register would otherwise be considered
+a temporary register. When the flag is applied, x18 is always a reserved
+register.
+
+This flag is intended for use with the shadow call stack sanitizer. Generally,
+when that sanitizer is enabled, the x18 register is used to store a pointer to
+the shadow stack. Enabling this flag prevents the compiler from overwriting the
+shadow stack pointer with temporary data, which is necessary for the sanitizer
+to work correctly.
+
+Currently, the `-Zsanitizer=shadow-call-stack` flag is only supported on
+platforms that always treat x18 as a reserved register, and the `-Zfixed-x18`
+flag is not required to use the sanitizer on such platforms. However, the
+sanitizer may be supported on targets where this is not the case in the future.
+
+It is undefined behavior for `-Zsanitizer=shadow-call-stack` code to call into
+code where x18 is a temporary register. On the other hand, when you are *not*
+using the shadow call stack sanitizer, compilation units compiled with and
+without the `-Zfixed-x18` flag are compatible with each other.
