[aarch64-port-dev ] RFR: Backport patch for 8165673 to aarch64/jdk8u

[Felix Yang]

Hi,

    I see the same issue (8165673) for aarch64/jdk8u repo, and I am trying
to backport this patch:

    # HG changeset patch

    Here are the link to the original jdk9 patch:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-comp/hotspot/rev/9cc82b204d20

    The backport patch with some adaptations for the test case:
    http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~fyang/8165673-backport/webrev.01/

    Tested with Jtreg using an aarch64 server build. OK to backport?

    As I don't have write permission of the icedtea branch (
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea7-forest/hotspot/), can someone do a
backport for it please?

Thanks for your help,
Felix
