Changes to the SystemZ Target
107+
-----------------------------
108+
109+
* Support for the arch13 architecture has been added. When using the
110+
``-march=arch13`` option, the compiler will generate code making use of
111+
new instructions introduced with the vector enhancement facility 2
112+
and the miscellaneous instruction extension facility 2.
113+
The ``-mtune=arch13`` option enables arch13 specific instruction
114+
scheduling and tuning without making use of new instructions.
115+
116+
* Builtins for the new vector instructions have been added and can be
117+
enabled using the ``-mzvector`` option. Support for these builtins
118+
is indicated by the compiler predefining the ``__VEC__`` macro to
119+
the value ``10303``.
120+
121+
* The compiler now supports and automatically generates alignment hints
122+
on vector load and store instructions.
123+
124+
* Various code-gen improvements, in particular related to improved
125+
instruction selection and register allocation.
