Description
Our customer reported JFR crashes on Linux ppc when filling stack trace.

My investigation points to that Linux ppc signal handle does not install crash protection callback, as other platforms do, etc. linux_x86.

This bug seems to be day 1 bug, probably during the porting. Thomas Stuefe refactored [1] relevant code during 16 time frame , so this bug is presented in 15 and earlier version.

Fix Request (8u) A clean backport to 8u. The patch fixes a fatal crash with jfr on Linux ppc. The code that protects JVM from crashing, misses on Linux ppc, but exists on other Linux platforms, so it is a low risk fix.

Fix Request (15u) I would like to fix this bug in jdk15u. The patch fixes a fatal crash with jfr on Linux ppc. The code that protects JVM from crashing, misses on Linux ppc, but exists on other Linux platforms, so it is a low risk fix.

The call to check_crash_protection was added by JDK-8254824 for JDK 16. You can see in the commit https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/011dd0d8 that it was added to every os_linux_xxx.cpp other than ppc. The refactoring that moved the code to signals_posix.cpp was also done for JDK 16 by JDK-JDK-8255711, commit https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/commit/dd8e4ffb.

[~zgu] Please add a link to the bug which refactored code in JDK 17 (and, thus, made this bug not applicable to 17+)
