>> 
>> The changeset uses ADL predicates to force C2 to implement memory accesses tagged with barrier information using G1-specific, barrier-aware instruction versions (e.g. `g1StoreP` instead of the GC-agnostic `storeP`). These new instruction versions generate machine code accordingly to the corresponding tagged barrier information, relying on the G1 barrier implementations provided by the `G1BarrierSetAssembler` class. In the aarch64 platform, the bulk of the ADL code is generated from a higher-level version using m4, to reduce redundancy.
>> 
>> #### `G1BarrierSetAssembler` Changes
>> 
>> Both platforms basically reuse the barrier implementation for the bytecode interpreter, with the different barrier tests and operations refactored into dedicated functions. Besides this, `G1BarrierSetAssembler` is extended with assembly-stub routines that implement the out-of-line, slow path of the barriers. These routines include calls from the barrier into the JVM, which require support for saving and restoring live ...

on s390, `g1_s390.ad` file is not compiled with current code. 

Suggestion:
