+14. ARMv8 Architecture Extensions
+----------------------------------
+
+ARM Trusted Firmware makes use of ARMv8 Architecture Extensions where
+applicable. This section lists the usage of Architecture Extensions, and build
+flags controlling them.
+
+In general, and unless individually mentioned, the build options
+`ARM_ARCH_MAJOR` and `ARM_ARCH_MINOR` selects the Architecture Extension to
+target when building ARM Trusted Firmware. Subsequent ARM Architecture
+Extensions are backward compatible with previous versions.
+
+The build system only requires that `ARM_ARCH_MAJOR` and `ARM_ARCH_MINOR` have a
+valid numeric value. These build options only control whether or not
+Architecture Extension-specific code is included in the build. Otherwise, ARM
+Trusted Firmware targets the base ARMv8.0 architecture; i.e. as if
+`ARM_ARCH_MAJOR` == 8 and `ARM_ARCH_MINOR` == 0, which are also their respective
+default values.
+
+See also the _Summary of build options_ in [User Guide].
+
+For details on the Architecture Extension and available features, please refer
+to the respective Architecture Extension Supplement.
+
+### ARMv8.1
+
+This Architecture Extension is targeted when `ARM_ARCH_MAJOR` >= 8, or when
+`ARM_ARCH_MAJOR` == 8 and `ARM_ARCH_MINOR` >= 1.
+
+* The Compare and Swap instruction is used to implement spinlocks. Otherwise,
+ the load-/store-exclusive instruction pair is used.
