  From: Kishan Parmar <kishanparmar@ibm.com>

Hello,

This patch introduces support for the -mcpu=future option, intended to
enable experimental processor features that may or may not be included
in future Power processors. The option serves as a placeholder for
development and evaluation purposes, and may be renamed if a
corresponding processor is defined.

In addition, this change adds support for gating rs6000 built-ins using a
new target predicate "future", corresponding to -mcpu=future. This
extends rs6000-gen-builtins.cc and rs6000-builtin.cc to recognize
[future] as a valid predicate, allowing new built-ins defined in .bif
files to be conditionally enabled.

Bootstrapped and Regtested on Power10 little-endian system, using the
--with-cpu=future configuration option.

2026-04-08  Kishan Parmar  <kishan@linux.ibm.com>

gcc/
	* config.gcc (powerpc*-*-*): Add support for supporting
	--with-cpu=future.
	* config/rs6000/aix71.h (ASM_CPU_SPEC): Pass -mfuture to the assembler
	if the user used the -mcpu=future option.
	* config/rs6000/aix72.h (ASM_CPU_SPEC): Likewise.
	* config/rs6000/aix73.h (ASM_CPU_SPEC): Likewise.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-builtin.cc (rs6000_invalid_builtin): Handle
	ENB_FUTURE and issue diagnostic requiring -mcpu=future.
	(rs6000_builtin_is_supported): Return TARGET_FUTURE for
	ENB_FUTURE built-ins.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-c.cc (rs6000_target_modify_macros): Define
	_ARCH_FUTURE if -mcpu=future.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-cpus.def (FUTURE_MASKS_SERVER): New macro.
	(POWERPC_MASKS): Add OPTION_MASK_FUTURE.
	(rs6000_cpu_opt_value): New entry for 'future' via the RS6000_CPU macro.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000-gen-builtins.cc (enum bif_stanza): Add
	BSTZ_FUTURE for future.

	* config/rs6000/rs6000.cc (rs6000_machine_from_flags) If -mcpu=future,
	set the .machine directive to "future".
	(rs6000_opt_masks): Add entry for -mfuture.
	* config/rs6000/rs6000.h (ASM_CPU_SPEC): Pass -mfuture to the assembler
	if the user used the -mcpu=future option.
