> Setting "-XX:UseSSE=1" in command line prevents the code from entering the block shown below, which causes UseSSE42Intrinsics to not be correctly set. Because supports_sse3() return false.

> in addition , setting "-XX:+UseSSE42Intrinsics" in command line set UseVectorizedMismatchIntrinsic to True shown below.

> The above code causes the ptest instruction to be invoked.
> The assertion "assert(VM_Version::supports_sse4_1() || VM_Version::supports_avx(), "")" in ptest was triggered and caused the crash because of the following reason:
> Setting "-XX:UseSSE=1" in command line  cause "CPU_SSE4_1" was cleared and cause "VM_Version::supports_sse4_1()" return false ,related code as below:

> all of these above cause this issue.
> i fix this issue by correcting UseSSE42Intrinsics to false when "UseSSE" in command line was set to 1, so that UseVectorizedMismatchIntrinsic will be set false and ptest was not triggered.

Guanqiang Han has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains nine additional commits since the last revision:

 - move UseSSE42Intrinsics check outside of the CPU-specific sections
 - Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into 8358592
 - Update full name
 - Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into 8358592
 - update regression test
 - Update Test8358592.java
   
   run on x86_64
 - add regression test for JDK-8358592
 - Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' into 8358592
 - 8358592: Assert in Assembler::ptest due to missing SSE42 support
   
   Setting "-XX:UseSSE=1" in command line prevents the code from entering the block which causes UseSSE42Intrinsics to not be correctly set.
