[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR: AArch64 backport to Icedtea7 of 8146709

[Andrew Dinn]

I have backported the patch for 8146709 (Incorrect use of ADRP for
byte_map_base) from aarch64/jdk8u to icedtea7-forest. Here's the webrev:

  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~adinn/8146709/webrev.00/

This appears to be the cause of the problem running specjvm referred to
in bugzilla 1310061

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1310061

Before the patch I saw the error described in the BZ.After the patch it
no longer occurs.

The patched code passes basic smoke tests. Can I get an ok from someone
else before I push this?

regards,


Andrew Dinn
