+* Add support for ETMv4 (Embedded Trace Macrocell), ETE (Embedded Trace
+  Extension), TRBE (Trace Buffer Extension), CSRE (Call Stack Recorder
+  Extension) and BRBE (Branch Record Buffer Extension) system registers for
+  AArch64.
+
+* Add support for Armv8-R and Armv8.7-A AArch64.
+
+* Add support for DSB memory nXS barrier, WFET and WFIT instruction for Armv8.7
+  AArch64.
+
+* Add support for +csre feature for -march. Add CSR PDEC instruction for CSRE
+  feature in AArch64.
+
+* Add support for +flagm feature for -march in Armv8.4 AArch64.
+
+* Add support for +ls64 feature for -march in Armv8.7 AArch64. Add atomic

+* Added a .nop directive to generate a single no-op instruction in a target
+  neutral manner.  This instruction does have an effect on DWARF line number
+  generation, if that is active.
+
 * Removed --reduce-memory-overheads and --hash-size as gas now
   uses hash tables that can be expand and shrink automatically.
