[Test Plan] * Check if the same (proper) opcodes are detected on an IBM z16 system with and without the patch. Since only the identification and name of a z16 system was modified. * Or the simplest test is probably to check (after having 'binutils' installed on an Ubuntu 22.04 s390x system) if not only: 'as -m64 -march=arch14 --target-help' but also: 'as -m64 -march=z16 --target-help' succeeds and leads to the same output. (As it does for '-march=arch13' and '-march=arch15'.) [Where problems could occur] * Issues could happen if the conditional statement that look for architectural / CPU name are paired wrongly, since: * 'z16' belongs to 'arch14', 'z15' to 'arch13', etc. * If these pairs are not handled correctly, or the identification is erroneous a wrong system might be identified and wrong instructions used etc. [Other] * This is a hardware enablement SRU to enhance the IBM z16 support. __________ After the announcement support for the official machine name z16 has been added to binutils. Please consider picking up the following patch from 2.37 branch: commit e24d2a2d11008aa363366c1087219f3e3405782a (origin/binutils-2_37-branch, 2.37) IBM zSystems: Add support for z16 as CPU name. So far z16 was identified as arch14. After the machine has been announced we can now add the real name.
