The recently announced IBM z16 processor implements the architecture
already supported as "arch14" in LLVM. This patch adds support for
"z16" as an alternate architecture name for arch14.
This patch adds support for the next-generation arch14
CPU architecture to the SystemZ backend.
This includes:
- Basic support for the new processor and its features.
- Detection of arch14 as host processor.
- Assembler/disassembler support for new instructions.
- New LLVM intrinsics for certain new instructions.
- Support for low-level builtins mapped to new LLVM intrinsics.
- New high-level intrinsics in vecintrin.h.
- Indicate support by defining __VEC__ == 10304.
Note: No currently available Z system supports the arch14
architecture. Once new systems become available, the
official system name will be added as supported -march name.
