  ---Problem Description---
  JVM on PPC64 LE crashes due to an illegal instruction in JITed code. The root cause is that the unaligned 4-byte displacement in instructions like LWA (Load Word Algebraic, a DS-from instruction) is not handled correctly and yields an illegal instruction inside the JITed method

  JVM on PPC64 LE crashes due to an illegal instruction in JITed code. The root cause is that the unaligned 4-byte displacement in instructions like LWA (Load Word Algebraic, a DS-from instruction) is not handled correctly and yields an illegal instruction inside the JITed method [1]. The patch is already available upstream on OpenJDK 9 [2] and applying it to jdk8u is trivial [3].

  Could you please proceed to apply the patch [2] (PPC-only code is
  affect) in order to fix the issue described?

  Thank you.
