WARNING
This patch works with gcc versions 9.1+ and with kernel version 4.13+ and should
NOT be applied when compiling on older versions of gcc due to key name changes
of the march flags introduced with the version 4.9 release of gcc.[1]

Use the older version of this patch hosted on the same github for older
versions of gcc.

FEATURES
This patch adds additional CPU options to the Linux kernel accessible under:
 Processor type and features  --->
  Processor family --->

The expanded microarchitectures include:
* AMD Improved K8-family
* AMD K10-family
* AMD Family 10h (Barcelona)
* AMD Family 14h (Bobcat)
* AMD Family 16h (Jaguar)
* AMD Family 15h (Bulldozer)
* AMD Family 15h (Piledriver)
* AMD Family 15h (Steamroller)
* AMD Family 15h (Excavator)
* AMD Family 17h (Zen)
* AMD Family 17h (Zen 2)
* Intel Silvermont low-power processors
* Intel Goldmont low-power processors (Apollo Lake and Denverton)
* Intel Goldmont Plus low-power processors (Gemini Lake)
* Intel 1st Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Nehalem)
* Intel 1.5 Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Westmere)
* Intel 2nd Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Sandybridge)
* Intel 3rd Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Ivybridge)
* Intel 4th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Haswell)
* Intel 5th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Broadwell)
* Intel 6th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Skylake)
* Intel 6th Gen Core i7/i9 (Skylake X)
* Intel 8th Gen Core i3/i5/i7 (Cannon Lake)
* Intel 10th Gen Core i7/i9 (Ice Lake)
* Intel Xeon (Cascade Lake)

It also offers to compile passing the 'native' option which, "selects the CPU
to generate code for at compilation time by determining the processor type of
the compiling machine. Using -march=native enables all instruction subsets
supported by the local machine and will produce code optimized for the local
machine under the constraints of the selected instruction set."[3]

MINOR NOTES
This patch also changes 'atom' to 'bonnell' in accordance with the gcc v4.9
changes. Note that upstream is using the deprecated 'match=atom' flags when I
believe it should use the newer 'march=bonnell' flag for atom processors.[2]

It is not recommended to compile on Atom-CPUs with the 'native' option.[4] The
recommendation is to use the 'atom' option instead.

BENEFITS
Small but real speed increases are measurable using a make endpoint comparing
a generic kernel to one built with one of the respective microarchs.

See the following experimental evidence supporting this statement:

REQUIREMENTS
linux version >=4.13
gcc version >=9.1

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This patch builds on the seminal work by Jeroen.[5]
