+==========================
+Clang implementation notes
+==========================
+
+This document provides more details specific to the Clang/LLVM implementation of the eBPF instruction set.
+
+Versions
+========
+
+Clang defined "CPU" versions, where a CPU version of 3 corresponds to the current eBPF ISA.
+
+Clang can select the eBPF ISA version using ``-mcpu=v3`` for example to select version 3.
+
+Atomic operations
+=================
+
+Clang can generate atomic instructions by default when ``-mcpu=v3`` is
+enabled. If a lower version for ``-mcpu`` is set, the only atomic instruction
+Clang can generate is ``BPF_ADD`` *without* ``BPF_FETCH``. If you need to enable
+the atomics features, while keeping a lower ``-mcpu`` version, you can use
+``-Xclang -target-feature -Xclang +alu32``.
