Restore the host context when panicking from hyp to give the best chance of the panic being clean. The host requires that registers be preserved such as x18 for the shadow callstack. If the panic is caused by an exception from EL1, the host context is still valid so the panic can return straight back to the host. If the panic comes from EL2 then it's most likely that the hyp context is active and the host context needs to be restored. There are windows before and after the host context is saved and restored that restoration is attempted incorrectly and the panic won't be clean.

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.
