+@subsection Automatic symbol index cache
+
+It is possible for @value{GDBN} to automatically save a copy of this index in a
+cache on disk and retrieve it from there when loading the same binary in the
+future. This feature can be turned on with @kbd{set index-cache on}. The
+following commands can be used to tweak the behavior of the index cache.
+
+@table @code
+
+@item set index-cache on
+@itemx set index-cache off
+Enable or disable the use of the symbol index cache.
+
+@item set index-cache directory @var{directory}
+@itemx show index-cache directory
+Set/show the directory where index files will be saved.
+
+The default value for this directory depends on the host platform. On
+most systems, the index is cached in the @file{gdb} subdirectory of
+the directory pointed to by the @env{XDG_CACHE_HOME} environment
+variable, if it is defined, else in the @file{.cache/gdb} subdirectory
+of your home directory. However, on some systems, the default may
+differ according to local convention.
+
+There is no limit on the disk space used by index cache. It is perfectly safe
+to delete the content of that directory to free up disk space.
+
+@item show index-cache stats
+Print the number of cache hits and misses since the launch of @value{GDBN}.

+
+When @value{GDBN} is debugging the AArch64 architecture, if the Scalable Vector
+Extension (SVE) is present, then @value{GDBN} will provide the vector registers
+@code{$z0} through @code{$z31}, vector predicate registers @code{$p0} through
+@code{$p15}, and the @code{$ffr} register. In addition, the pseudo register
+@code{$vg} will be provided. This is the vector granule for the current thread
+and represents the number of 64-bit chunks in an SVE @code{z} register.
+
+If the vector length changes, then the @code{$vg} register will be updated,
+but the lengths of the @code{z} and @code{p} registers will not change. This
+is a known limitation of @value{GDBN} and does not affect the execution of the
+target process.
