The backend sounds like the wrong place to implement this feature.
I'd have thought the Clang driver would be the...

Hi all,
I've just filed PR12794: Add ARM cpu / subtarget features auto-detection. And I would very much appreciate the community's help to implement this.
What motivated this? Well this:

I believe one of the reason the benchmark numbers are totally bogus is that the compilation are done on ARM hosts. Given the benchmarks are
