The recently announced IBM z17 processor implements the architecture
already supported as "arch15" in LLVM. This patch adds support for "z17"
as an alternate architecture name for arch15.
This patch also add the scheduler description for the z17 processor,
provided by Jonas Paulsson.
This patch adds support for the next-generation arch15
CPU architecture to the SystemZ backend.
This includes:
- Basic support for the new processor and its features.
- Detection of arch15 as host processor.
- Assembler/disassembler support for new instructions.
- Exploitation of new instructions for code generation.
- New vector (signed|unsigned|bool) __int128 data types.
- 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__ == 10305.
Note: No currently available Z system supports the arch15
architecture. Once new systems become available, the
official system name will be added as supported -march name.
