> Can I please get a review for this change which proposes to fix the issue 
> reported in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8206890?
> 
> The `jlink` command allows a `--endian` option to specify the byte order in 
> the generated image. Before this change, when such a image was being 
> launched, the code would assume the byte order in the image to be the native 
> order of the host where the image is being launched. That would result in 
> failure to launch java, as noted in the linked issue.
> 
> The commit in this PR, changes relevant places to not assume native order and 
> instead determine the byte order by reading the magic bytes in the image 
> file's header content.
> 
> A new jtreg test has been added which reproduces the issue and verifies the 
> fix.

Jaikiran Pai has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a merge 
or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes brought in 
by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains 20 additional commits since the 
last revision:

 - Mandy's suggestion - pass along target platform to the DefaultImageBuilder 
to prevent reparsing the value from the ModuleTarget
 - Mandy's suggestion to use Platform class for additional arch support. Plus, 
Jim's suggestion to use a runtime resource for endianness mapping
 - merge latest from master branch
 - don't hardcode the .jmod extension while determining java.base module 
location
 - Path.resolve(String) instead of Path.resolve(Path)
 - no need for security manager checks in jlink
 - only include known supported arch
 - Alan's suggestion - look into the ModuleTarget attribute in 
module-info.class only if this is a cross-platform image generation
 - missed ppc64 from the arch mapping
 - undo unintentional copyright year change
