+Block comments are delimited by @samp{/*} and @samp{*/}. End of line
+comments may be introduced by @samp{#}.
+
+Instructions consist of a leading opcode or macro name followed by
+whitespace and an optional comma-separated list of operands:
+
+@smallexample
+@var{opcode} [@var{operand}, @dots{}]
+@end smallexample
+
+Instructions must be separated by a newline or semicolon.
+
+There are two ways to write code: either write naked instructions,
+which the assembler is free to combine into VLIW bundles, or specify
+the VLIW bundles explicitly.
+
+Bundles are specified using curly braces:
+
+@smallexample
+@{ @var{add} r3,r4,r5 ; @var{add} r7,r8,r9 ; @var{lw} r10,r11 @}
+@end smallexample
+
+A bundle can span multiple lines. If you want to put multiple
+instructions on a line, whether in a bundle or not, you need to
+separate them with semicolons as in this example.
+
+A bundle may contain one or more instructions, up to the limit
+specified by the ISA (currently three). If fewer instructions are
+specified than the hardware supports in a bundle, the assembler
+inserts @code{fnop} instructions automatically.
+
+The assembler will prefer to preserve the ordering of instructions
+within the bundle, putting the first instruction in a lower-numbered
+pipeline than the next one, etc. This fact, combined with the
+optional use of explicit @code{fnop} or @code{nop} instructions,
+allows precise control over which pipeline executes each instruction.
+
+If the instructions cannot be bundled in the listed order, the
+assembler will automatically try to find a valid pipeline
+assignment. If there is no way to bundle the instructions together,
+the assembler reports an error.
+
+The assembler does not yet auto-bundle (automatically combine multiple
+instructions into one bundle), but it reserves the right to do so in
+the future. If you want to force an instruction to run by itself, put
+it in a bundle explicitly with curly braces and use @code{nop}
+instructions (not @code{fnop}) to fill the remaining pipeline slots in
+that bundle.

+@node TILEPro Registers
+@subsection Register Names
+@cindex TILEPro register names
+@cindex register names, TILEPro
+
+General-purpose registers are represented by predefined symbols of the
+form @samp{r@var{N}}, where @var{N} represents a number between
+@code{0} and @code{63}. However, the following registers have
+canonical names that must be used instead:
+
+@table @code
+@item r54
+sp
+
+@item r55
+lr
+
+@item r56
+sn
+
+@item r57
+idn0
+
+@item r58
+idn1
+
+@item r59
+udn0
+
+@item r60
+udn1
+
+@item r61
+udn2
+
+@item r62
+udn3
+
+@item r63
+zero
+
+@end table
+
+The assembler will emit a warning if a numeric name is used instead of
+the canonical name. The @code{.no_require_canonical_reg_names}
+assembler pseudo-op turns off this
+warning. @code{.require_canonical_reg_names} turns it back on.
+
+@node TILEPro Modifiers
+@subsection Symbolic Operand Modifiers
+@cindex TILEPro modifiers
+@cindex symbol modifiers, TILEPro
+
+The assembler supports several modifiers when using symbol addresses
+in TILEPro instruction operands. The general syntax is the following:
+
+@smallexample
+modifier(symbol)
+@end smallexample
+
+The following modifiers are supported:
+
+@table @code
+
+@item lo16
+
+This modifier is used to load the low 16 bits of the symbol's address,
+sign-extended to a 32-bit value (sign-extension allows it to be
+range-checked against signed 16 bit immediate operands without
+complaint).
+
+@item hi16
+
+This modifier is used to load the high 16 bits of the symbol's
+address, also sign-extended to a 32-bit value.
+
+@item ha16
+
+@code{ha16(N)} is identical to @code{hi16(N)}, except if
+@code{lo16(N)} is negative it adds one to the @code{hi16(N)}
+value. This way @code{lo16} and @code{ha16} can be added to create any
+32-bit value using @code{auli}. For example, here is how you move an
+arbitrary 32-bit address into r3:
+
+@smallexample
+moveli r3, lo16(sym)
+auli r3, r3, ha16(sym)
+@end smallexample
+
+@item got
+
+This modifier is used to load the offset of the GOT entry
+corresponding to the symbol.
+
+@item got_lo16
+
+This modifier is used to load the sign-extended low 16 bits of the
+offset of the GOT entry corresponding to the symbol.
+
+@item got_hi16
+
+This modifier is used to load the sign-extended high 16 bits of the
+offset of the GOT entry corresponding to the symbol.
+
+@item got_ha16
+
+This modifier is like @code{got_hi16}, but it adds one if
+@code{got_lo16} of the input value is negative.
+
+@item plt
+
+This modifier is used for function symbols. It causes a
+@emph{procedure linkage table}, an array of code stubs, to be created
+at the time the shared object is created or linked against, together
+with a global offset table entry. The value is a pc-relative offset
+to the corresponding stub code in the procedure linkage table. This
+arrangement causes the run-time symbol resolver to be called to look
+up and set the value of the symbol the first time the function is
+called (at latest; depending environment variables). It is only safe
+to leave the symbol unresolved this way if all references are function
+calls.
+
+@item tls_gd
+
+This modifier is used to load the offset of the GOT entry of the
+symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for general-dynamic TLS accesses.
+
+@item tls_gd_lo16
+
+This modifier is used to load the sign-extended low 16 bits of the
+offset of the GOT entry of the symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for
+general dynamic TLS accesses.
+
+@item tls_gd_hi16
+
+This modifier is used to load the sign-extended high 16 bits of the
+offset of the GOT entry of the symbol's TLS descriptor, to be used for
+general dynamic TLS accesses.
+
+@item tls_gd_ha16
+
+This modifier is like @code{tls_gd_hi16}, but it adds one to the value
+if @code{tls_gd_lo16} of the input value is negative.
+
+@item tls_ie
+
+This modifier is used to load the offset of the GOT entry containing
+the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB, to be used for
+initial-exec TLS accesses.
+
+@item tls_ie_lo16
+
+This modifier is used to load the low 16 bits of the offset of the GOT
+entry containing the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB, to
+be used for initial-exec TLS accesses.
+
+@item tls_ie_hi16
+
+This modifier is used to load the high 16 bits of the offset of the
+GOT entry containing the offset of the symbol's address from the TCB,
+to be used for initial-exec TLS accesses.
+
+@item tls_ie_ha16
+
+This modifier is like @code{tls_ie_hi16}, but it adds one to the value
+if @code{tls_ie_lo16} of the input value is negative.
