+@cindex AArch64 line comment character
+The presence of a @samp{//} on a line indicates the start of a comment

+@cindex AArch64 relocations
+@cindex MOVN, MOVZ and MOVK group relocations, AArch64
+Relocations for @samp{MOVZ} and @samp{MOVK} instructions can be generated
+by prefixing the label with @samp{#:abs_g2:} etc.
+For example to load the 48-bit absolute address of @var{foo} into x0:
+
+@smallexample
+ movz x0, #:abs_g2:foo // bits 32-47, overflow check
+ movk x0, #:abs_g1_nc:foo // bits 16-31, no overflow check
+ movk x0, #:abs_g0_nc:foo // bits 0-15, no overflow check
+@end smallexample
+
+@cindex ADRP, ADD, LDR/STR group relocations, AArch64
+Relocations for @samp{ADRP}, and @samp{ADD}, @samp{LDR} or @samp{STR}
+instructions can be generated by prefixing the label with
+@samp{#:pg_hi21:} and @samp{#:lo12:} respectively.
+
+For example to use 33-bit (+/-4GB) pc-relative addressing to
+load the address of @var{foo} into x0:
+
+@smallexample
+ adrp x0, #:pg_hi21:foo
+ add x0, x0, #:lo12:foo
+@end smallexample
+
+Or to load the value of @var{foo} into x0:
+
+@smallexample
+ adrp x0, #:pg_hi21:foo
+ ldr x0, [x0, #:lo12:foo]
+@end smallexample
+
+Note that @samp{#:pg_hi21:} is optional.
+
+@smallexample
+ adrp x0, foo
+@end smallexample
+
+is equivalent to
+
+@smallexample
+ adrp x0, #:pg_hi21:foo

+@cindex @code{.ltorg} directive, AArch64
+@item .ltorg
+This directive causes the current contents of the literal pool to be
+dumped into the current section (which is assumed to be the .text
+section) at the current location (aligned to a word boundary).
+@code{GAS} maintains a separate literal pool for each section and each
+sub-section. The @code{.ltorg} directive will only affect the literal
+pool of the current section and sub-section. At the end of assembly
+all remaining, un-empty literal pools will automatically be dumped.
+
+Note - older versions of @code{GAS} would dump the current literal
+pool any time a section change occurred. This is no longer done, since
+it prevents accurate control of the placement of literal pools.

+@item .unreq @var{alias-name}
+This undefines a register alias which was previously defined using the
+@code{req} directive. For example:
+
+@smallexample
+ foo .req w0
+ .unreq foo
+@end smallexample
+
+An error occurs if the name is undefined. Note - this pseudo op can
+be used to delete builtin in register name aliases (eg 'w0'). This
+should only be done if it is really necessary.
