Error while building JVMCI enabled JDK8 on Power

[Deepali Patel]

Hello Team,

I am trying to build Graal core on Power.


1.       I have updated mx.py to allow build on Power:
-----------------
diff --git a/mx.py b/mx.py
index 172609d..de932f6 100755
--- a/mx.py
+++ b/mx.py
@@ -7369,6 +7369,8 @@ def get_arch():
         except OSError:
             # sysctl is not available
             pass
+    if machine == 'ppc64le' and  get_os() == 'linux':
+       return 'ppc64le'
     abort('unknown or unsupported architecture: os=' + get_os() + ', machine=' + machine)

mx_subst.results_substitutions.register_no_arg('arch', get_arch)

2.       Next I am trying to build building JVMCI enabled JDK8. However, I see following error:

3.       I dont see jvmci_globals_ppc.hpp in the src tree. But there is another file with name jvmciGlobals_ppc.hpp available in the src tree. I tried to use jvmciGlobals_ppc.hpp, but I get following errors:

/pathto/graal-jvmci-8/src/cpu/ppc/vm/jvmciGlobals_ppc.hpp:35:2: error: #error Unimplemented

#error Unimplemented

  ^

/pathto/graal-jvmci-8/make/linux/makefiles/vm.make:322: recipe for target 'precompiled.hpp.gch' failed

  Please advise if I am missing on something here.

Regards
Deepali
