[aarch64-port-dev ] [9] RFR (XS) 8051712 regression Test7107135 crashes

[Chris Plummer]

Hello,

Please review the fix for 8051712:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~cjplummer/8051712/webrev.00
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051712

This fix was already applied to aarch64-port/jdk8, but was missed when 
aarch64-port was integrated into jdk9. This commit is to the jdk9/dev 
mainline, not aarch64-port/jdk9.

The issue is that ElfFile::specifies_noexecstack() assumes that if no 
PT_GNU_STACK record is found, then the platform (loader) defaults to 
execstack. However, for AARCH64 is defaults to noexecstack. More info 
can be found in the following discussion.

Also see 7107135 for info on the execstack/noexecstack issue, and why 
ElfFile::specifies_noexecstack() exists in the first place:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-7107135

Tested by using JPRT to run the test case on all supported platforms. 
Also ran all default "-testset hotspot" tests on all platforms.

thanks,

Chris
