+A-profile CPU architecture support
+==================================
+
+QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for the Armv5, Armv6, Armv7 and
+Armv8 versions of the A-profile architecture. It also has support for
+the following architecture extensions:
+
+- FEAT_AA32BF16 (AArch32 BFloat16 instructions)
+- FEAT_AA32HPD (AArch32 hierarchical permission disables)
+- FEAT_AA32I8MM (AArch32 Int8 matrix multiplication instructions)

+- FEAT_JSCVT (JavaScript conversion instructions)
+- FEAT_LOR (Limited ordering regions)
+- FEAT_LRCPC (Load-acquire RCpc instructions)
+- FEAT_LRCPC2 (Load-acquire RCpc instructions v2)
+- FEAT_LSE (Large System Extensions)
+- FEAT_MTE (Memory Tagging Extension)
+- FEAT_MTE2 (Memory Tagging Extension)
+- FEAT_MTE3 (MTE Asymmetric Fault Handling)
+- FEAT_PAN (Privileged access never)
+- FEAT_PAN2 (AT S1E1R and AT S1E1W instruction variants affected by PSTATE.PAN)
+- FEAT_PAuth (Pointer authentication)
+- FEAT_PMULL (PMULL, PMULL2 instructions)
+- FEAT_PMUv3p1 (PMU Extensions v3.1)
+- FEAT_PMUv3p4 (PMU Extensions v3.4)
+- FEAT_RDM (Advanced SIMD rounding double multiply accumulate instructions)
+- FEAT_RNG (Random number generator)

+- FEAT_TLBIRANGE (TLB invalidate range instructions)
+- FEAT_TTCNP (Translation table Common not private translations)
+- FEAT_TTST (Small translation tables)
+- FEAT_UAO (Unprivileged Access Override control)
+- FEAT_VHE (Virtualization Host Extensions)
+- FEAT_VMID16 (16-bit VMID)
+- FEAT_XNX (Translation table stage 2 Unprivileged Execute-never)
+- SVE (The Scalable Vector Extension)
+- SVE2 (The Scalable Vector Extension v2)
+
+For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
+to the `Armv8-A Arm Architecture Reference Manual
+<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0487/latest>`_.
+
+When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
+are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
+not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
+hardware should have it.) The ``max`` CPU enables all features.
+
+R-profile CPU architecture support
+==================================
+
+QEMU's TCG emulation support for R-profile CPUs is currently limited.
+We emulate only the Cortex-R5 and Cortex-R5F CPUs.
+
+M-profile CPU architecture support
+==================================
+
+QEMU's TCG emulation includes support for Armv6-M, Armv7-M, Armv8-M, and
+Armv8.1-M versions of the M-profile architucture.  It also has support
+for the following architecture extensions:
+
+- FP (Floating-point Extension)
+- FPCXT (FPCXT access instructions)
+- HP (Half-precision floating-point instructions)
+- LOB (Low Overhead loops and Branch future)
+- M (Main Extension)
+- MPU (Memory Protection Unit Extension)
+- PXN (Privileged Execute Never)
+- RAS (Reliability, Serviceability and Availability): "minimum RAS Extension" only
+- S (Security Extension)
+- ST (System Timer Extension)
+
+For information on the specifics of these extensions, please refer
+to the `Armv8-M Arm Architecture Reference Manual
+<https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0553/latest>`_.
+
+When a specific named CPU is being emulated, only those features which
+are present in hardware for that CPU are emulated. (If a feature is
+not in the list above then it is not supported, even if the real
+hardware should have it.) There is no equivalent of the ``max`` CPU for
+M-profile.
