This is a divergence from upstream jdk8u, silently introduced by:

summary:     Remerge to jdk8-b117

Have you tested that reverting this to the upstream jdk8u version doesn't break aarch64?

I did a comparison of upstream jdk8u121-b14 with the current state of aarch64/jdk8u (attached)
and all other changes do seem to be necessary for aarch64 (the test issue is a merge issue
already resolved in the main jdk8u tree, but not jdk8u121-b14).
