+
+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.
