Reverse-engineering the Mali G78

After a month of reverse-engineering, we're excited to release documentation on the Valhall instruction set, available as a PDF. The findings are summarized in an XML architecture description for machine consumption. In tandem with the documentation, we've developed a Valhall assembler and disassembler as a reverse-engineering aid.

Valhall is the fourth Arm Mali architecture and the fifth Mali instruction set. It is implemented in the Arm Mali-G78, the most recently released Mali hardware, and Valhall will continue to be implemented in Mali products yet to come.

Excellent and important work.
