 ELF Improvements
 ----------------
 
+* When ``--threads=`` is not specified, the number of concurrency is now capped to 16.
+  A large ``--thread=`` can harm performance, especially with some system
+  malloc implementations like glibc's.
+  (`D147493 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D147493>`_)
 * ``--remap-inputs=`` and ``--remap-inputs-file=`` are added to remap input files.
   (`D148859 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D148859>`_)
+* ``--lto=`` is now available to support ``clang -funified-lto``
+  (`D123805 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D123805>`_)
+* ``--lto-CGO[0-3]`` is now available to control ``CodeGenOpt::Level`` independent of the LTO optimization level.
+  (`D141970 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D141970>`_)
+* ``--check-dynamic-relocations=`` is now correct 32-bit targets when the addend is larger than 0x80000000.
+  (`D149347 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D149347>`_)
+* ``--print-memory-usage`` has been implemented for memory regions.
+  (`D150644 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D150644>`_)
+* ``SHF_MERGE``, ``--icf=``, and ``--build-id=fast`` have switched to 64-bit xxh3.
+  (`D154813 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D154813>`_)
+* Quoted output section names can now be used in linker scripts.
+  (`#60496 <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/60496>`_)
+* ``MEMORY`` can now be used without a ``SECTIONS`` command.
+  (`D145132 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D145132>`_)
+* ``REVERSE`` can now be used in input section descriptions to reverse the order of input sections.
+  (`D145381 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D145381>`_)
+* Program header assignment can now be used within ``OVERLAY``. This functionality was accidentally lost in 2020.
+  (`D150445 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D150445>`_)
+* Operators ``^`` and ``^=`` can now be used in linker scripts.
+* ``DT_AARCH64_MEMTAG_*`` dynamic tags are now supported.
+  (`D143769 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D143769>`_)
+* AArch32 port now supports BE-8 and BE-32 modes for big-endian.
+  (`D140201 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D140201>`_)
+  (`D140202 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D140202>`_)
+  (`D150870 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D150870>`_)
+* ``R_ARM_THM_ALU_ABS_G*`` relocations are now supported.
+  (`D153407 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D153407>`_)
+* ``.ARM.exidx`` sections may start at non-zero output section offset.
+  (`D148033 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D148033>`_)
+* Arm Cortex-M Security Extensions is now implemented.
+  (`D139092 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D139092>`_)
+* BTI landing pads are now added to PLT entries accessed by range extension thunks or relative vtables.
+  (`D148704 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D148704>`_)
+  (`D153264 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D153264>`_)
+* AArch64 short range thunk has been implemented to mitigate the performance loss of a long range thunk.
+  (`D148701 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D148701>`_)
+* ``R_AVR_8_LO8/R_AVR_8_HI8/R_AVR_8_HLO8/R_AVR_LO8_LDI_GS/R_AVR_HI8_LDI_GS`` have been implemented.
+  (`D147100 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D147100>`_)
+  (`D147364 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D147364>`_)
+* ``--no-power10-stubs`` now works for PowerPC64.
+* ``DT_PPC64_OPT`` is now supported;
+  (`D150631 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D150631>`_)
 * ``PT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES`` is added to include the SHT_RISCV_ATTRIBUTES section.
   (`D152065 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D152065>`_)
+* ``R_RISCV_PLT32`` is added to support C++ relative vtables.
+  (`D143115 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D143115>`_)
+* RISC-V global pointer relaxation has been implemented. Specify ``--relax-gp`` to enable the linker relaxation.
+  (`D143673 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D143673>`_)
+* The symbol value of ``foo`` is correctly handled when ``--wrap=foo`` and RISC-V linker relaxation are used.
+  (`D151768 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D151768>`_)
+* x86-64 large data sections are now placed away from code sections to alleviate relocation overflow pressure.
+  (`D150510 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D150510>`_)
