   These extensions are defined as part of the `RISC-V Profiles specification <https://github.com/riscv/riscv-profiles/releases/tag/v1.0>`__.  They do not introduce any new features themselves, but instead describe existing hardware features.
 
+Atomics ABIs
+============
+
+At the time of writing there are three atomics mappings (ABIs) `defined for RISC-V <https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-elf.adoc#tag_riscv_atomic_abi-14-uleb128version>__`.  As of LLVM 19, LLVM defaults to "A6S", which is compatible with both the original "A6" and the future "A7" ABI. See `the psABI atomics document <https://github.com/riscv-non-isa/riscv-elf-psabi-doc/blob/master/riscv-atomic.adoc>`__ for more information on these mappings.
+
+Note that although the "A6S" mapping is used, the ELF attribute recording the mapping isn't currently emitted by default due to a bug causing a crash in older versions of binutils when processing files containing this attribute.

Note that although the "A6S" mapping is used, the ELF attribute recording the mapping isn't currently emitted by default due to a bug causing a crash in older versions of binutils when processing files containing this attribute. Emission can be enabled via the backend flag, ‘’-mllvm —riscv-abi-attributes’’.  
```
Probably worth mentioning the flag in case someone wants to opt in? I can go either way on that, since we left it off by default, though…
