cmd/asm,cmd/compile,cmd/link,cmd/objdump: ppc64 ISA 3.1 support #44549
Description
This is a container task for implementing support for the upcoming POWER10 processor.
ISA 3.1 documentation can be found here.
Notable additions we would like to support in golang:
- More crypto instructions
- Support for PC relative load/store/add immediate
- Prefixed instructions (two word instructions) for larger load/store/add immediate
The latter two features will require a bit of preparation work in the ppc64 backend. Go 1.17 development will focus on preparation work.
