Description Ben Woodard 2017-10-04 19:04:52 UTC 
Currently all the documentation for the API for libelf and libdw is in the header files. The dyninst developers are currently porting their library to make use of it and have requested better documentation including information about which functions can be considered MT safe.

These are now described here:
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aadwarf64/aadwarf64.rst

In particular the Z registers aren't yet described in backends/aarch64_regs.c 
and neither is the Vector granule pseudo register.
