> The fix for [JDK-8361447](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8361447) added a new field to the `GuardHeader`, not realizing that the size of the `GuardHeader` must be such that the address of the user-data has the strictest necessary alignment (16-byte).
> 
> We need to add a padding field to restore the alignment.
> 
> A static assert is added to check the alignment.
> 
> Testing:
>  - tiers 1-3 (in progress)
> 
> Thanks
