JDK-8177390: java -version does not differentiate between which port of AArch64 is used

[Bob Vandette]

Do we dump the contents of the “release” file in the hotspot error log?

If so, there’s a key in that file called “IMPLEMENTOR” that is set to Oracle for the binaries that we produce (from the hotspot/src/cpu/arm sources).

Alternatively, we could add HOTSPOT_TARGET_CPU_PORT to the release file.

Bob.
