Hi All,

This patch updates the documentation for AArch64 and ARM correcting
the use of the architecture namings by adding the -A suffix in appropriate

places.

Just to clarify, was the documentation previously using incorrect terminology,
or are there new non-A ARMv7 and ARMv8 architectures that invalidate
existing uses of those terms without the -A suffix?


Yes, there are the -M and -R suffixes/profiles. A lot of the documentation was written
before these existed. It is mainly a find and replace, but I tried to determine for each
change whether the instructions exist in the other profiles. Hopefully they'll all correct
but I'll leave that for the review.

OK. I have no objection to the patch from a documentation point ofview, but I'll defer to the port maintainers for technical review.


-Sandra
