Description of problem:

On ppc64, ppc64le, and s390x, the jstack systemtap tapset file is causing a parse error on every use of systemtap.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel-1.8.0.121-9.b14.el7.ppc64
systemtap-3.1-2.el7.ppc64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to compile a systemtap script:

====
# stap -e 'probe begin { exit() }'
parse error: expected literal string or number
        saw: operator '*' at /usr/share/systemtap/tapset/powerpc/jstack-1.8.0.121-9.b14.el7.ppc64.stp:109:6
     source:   %: **ERROR** unknown architecture
                  ^

1 parse error.
WARNING: tapset "/usr/share/systemtap/tapset/powerpc/jstack-1.8.0.121-9.b14.el7.ppc64.stp" has errors, and will be skipped
====

Actual results:

Parse error.

Expected results:

No parse errors.

Additional info:

Systemtap parses the entire tapset library for correctness when compiling a script. Since the jstack-1.8.0.121-9.b14.el7.ppc64.stp doesn't parse correctly (unless you are on i686/x86_64/arm64), we get a parse error on every script.

The following patch fixes this problem (by turning the compile-time parse error into a runtime error):

This new code will cause a runtime error, which looks like the following:

====
