Description
Several Nightly tests java/util and regression/jit which called java.util.Calendar.clear() crashed with SIGBUS on sparc:

java/util/Calendar/WeekDateTest.java
java/util/Locale/InternationalBAT.java
java/util/Locale/ThaiGov.java
regression/jit/4139729/Calendar/CalendarLimitTest
regression/jit/4139729/Calendar/CalendarTest
regression/jit/4139729/Calendar/Limit
regression/jit/4139731/Date/DateTest

They crashed on vector instruction which zeros byte array in compiled code for java.util.Calendar.clear():

;; ffffffff77afa2bc 06 47 ff ed             bl,pn   %icc, 0xffffffff77afa270
;; ---------------
;; ffffffff77afa2c0 c0 74 20 10             clrx  [ %l0 + 0x10 ]

     BPlt   B14      ! Loop end  P=0.900000 C=-1.000000
     STX    #0,[R_L0 + #16]  ! store zero vector (8 bytes)
Comments
There is no promoted 7u40 or 8fcs build with the issue present, so it can't be reproduced. Closed as not verified (setup not available).

EVALUATION There are 2 arrays which are zeroed in loop in java.util.Calendar.clear(): protected int fields[]; protected boolean isSet[]; transient private int stamp[]; public final void clear() { for (int i = 0; i < fields.length; ) { stamp[i] = fields[i] = 0; // UNSET == 0 isSet[i++] = false; } areAllFieldsSet = areFieldsSet = false; isTimeSet = false; } all of 0 stores are vectorized after changes for 7119644. The problem is that pre-loop does only 2 iterations which is enough to align vector stores for in arrays but it is not enough for byte array. As result vector store into iiSet[] is not aligned in main loop.
