java.nio.Bits.unaligned() doesn't return true on ppc

[bugproxy]

== Comment: #0 - Gustavo Bueno Romero <email address hidden> - 2017-03-30 08:16:11 ==
---Problem Description---
Some open sources (such as Spark 2.0) check java.nio.Bits.unaligned() to recognize support of unaligned memory access in the platform but ppc64 arch is not included although it supports it

---uname output---
Linux gromero16 4.4.0-67-generic #88-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 8 16:33:13 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux

Machine Type = not relevant

---Debugger---
A debugger is not configured

---Steps to Reproduce---
 The following test-case returns "false" but must return "true" if the problem is fixed:

import java.lang.reflect.Field;
public class UnalignedTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Class clazz = Class.forName("java.nio.DirectByteBuffer");
        Field field = clazz.getDeclaredField("unaligned");
        field.setAccessible(true);
        System.out.println(field.getBoolean(null));
    }
}

Dear maintainer, please consider applying the fix that is already upstream on 8u:

Steve,

This looks like one for Foundations to pick up.

Since this is already landed upstream, I suppose we would pick this up as part of the quarterly security update; but assigning to Tiago to confirm / track.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package openjdk-8 - 8u131-b11-1

---------------
openjdk-8 (8u131-b11-1) unstable; urgency=high

  * Update to 8u131-b11, Hotspot 8u112-b12 for AArch64.
  * Security fixes:
    - S8167110, CVE-2017-3514: Windows peering issue.
    - S8165626, CVE-2017-3512: Improved window framing.
    - S8163528, CVE-2017-3511: Better library loading.
    - S8169011, CVE-2017-3526: Resizing XML parse trees.
    - S8163520, CVE-2017-3509: Reuse cache entries.
    - S8171533, CVE-2017-3544: Better email transfer.

  [ Tiago Stürmer Daitx ]
  * d/p/jdk-ppc64el-S8165231.diff: fixes java.nio.Bits.unaligned() on
    ppc64el. LP: #1677612.
  * debian/buildwatch.sh: updated to stop it if no 'make' process is running,
    as it probably means that the build failed - otherwise buildwatch keeps
    the builder alive until it exits after the timer (3 hours by default)
    expires.

  [ Matthias Klose ]
  * openjdk-8-jre-headless: Add a break for tzdata-java. Closes: #857992.
  * Use fonts-wqy-microhei and fonts-wqy-zenhei instead of transitional package
    names. Closes: #859528.
