The documentation is gradually being published, but it will take some
time before the full v8 specification is made public.
The assembly language, as supported by GAS, is documented in:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.genc010197a/index.html
You may need to register to gain access to the document.
