The LLVM disassembler needs ISA extension features enabled to correctly decode instructions from those extensions. On aarch64, without these features, instructions like LSE atomics (e.g. ldaddal) are silently decoded as incorrect instructions and disassembly is truncated. Use LLVMCreateDisasmCPUFeatures() with "+all" features for aarch64 targets so that the disassembler can handle any instruction the kernel JIT might emit.
