Java 12 crashes on ARMv7 CPUs

The latest versions of the OpenJDK seem to just crash when executing pretty much any Java code that does anything:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGILL (0x4) at pc=0x413042dc, pid=3635, tid=3636

Confirmed on Synology DS213J running on an armv7l CPU:

Code: Select all

Linux diskstation 3.2.40 #23824 Tue Feb 12 16:48:52 CST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux synology_armada370_213j

Since the crash seems to occurs in the C2 compiler optimization step of the Server VM, we can simply work around the issue by selecting the Client VM like so, which performs less optimizations and doesn't seem to crash:

Code: Select all

export JAVA_OPTS="-client"
