[8u-dev] Request for approval to backport: 8139258: PPC64LE: argument passing problem when passing 15 floats in native call

[Lindenmaier, Goetz]

Hi

I would like to backport this fix for PPC64le to 8u-dev:

8139258: PPC64LE: argument passing problem when passing 15 floats in native call
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/hs-comp/hotspot/rev/4149ec42e1a6

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2015-November/020641.html

It is ppc64-only, so I don't need a sponsor.

Please approve this backport.

Best regards,
  Goetz.
