[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #4647] bug report: OpenSSL 1.0.2h: Segment fault on AIX Power8 using optimization code

Hello

We are using libcurl for REST programming, which internally uses openssl
and libcrypto.
curl suggested to implement few callbacks related to locking, which would
be needed for openssl below 1.1 version(which is still in beta).

The following callbacks were implemented:

https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/threaded-ssl.html

lock_callback, thread_id, init_locks, kill_locks

With these modifications we are facing a crash in openssl library when used
on a Power8 Hardware (with optimizations).

It works fine if we use the unoptimized code (without using ppc32_asm or
ppc64_asm during Configure)

Segment fault is seen as below:

Segmentation fault in sha1-ppc.sha1_block_data_order at 0xd4feb8b8 ($t13)
