ptxas is a proprietary compiler from Nvidia that can compile PTX to
machine code (SASS). It has a lot of diagnostics to catch errors
in PTX, which can be used to verify PTX output from llc.
Set -DPXTAS_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/ptxas CMake option to enable it.
If this option is not set, then ptxas is substituted to true which
effectively disables all ptxas RUN lines.
LLVM_PTXAS_EXECUTABLE environment variable takes precedence over
the CMake option, and allows to override ptxas executable that is used for LIT
without complete re-configuration.

The new target machines are:
nvptx (old ptx32) => 32-bit PTX
nvptx64 (old ptx64) => 64-bit PTX
The sources are based on the internal NVIDIA NVPTX back-end, and
contain more functionality than the current PTX back-end currently
provides.
