The attached repro case: - compiles a java class - compiles a C program that initialise the JVM and calls a static method from the java class - launch the compile C program. Expected result: the c program should launch the Java method and print some numbers in the terminal Actual result: the c program segfault while initializing the JVM reverting to linux 4.10.0-22-generic amd64 fixes the problem. Since the only change in the changelog is the Stack Clash fix and since I remember reading that the JVM does tricky stuff with the stack, this is a natural culprit. It touches any program that initialises a JVM (so for instance Java bindings in Postgresql or Java applets in firefox although the latter have been deprecated and are only supported in firefox ESR now). I attach the repro-case. The issue happens with both openjdk-8-jdk from the repository and the standard jdk 8 from oracle.
