Description:
The bug is described at https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=80818. Please could you backport the fix to 5.7? In Ubuntu, I will cherry-pick the fix shortly as we (Canonical) have customers affected. If you could please backport to your 5.7 series, then that would help us with future updates.

How to repeat:
compile on Power hardware.

run ./mysql-test-run

Fixed in 5.7.21.

The hardcoded memory page size of 8KB for the memory-mapped
transaction coordinator was too small for platforms such as ARM64 and
PowerPC where the page size is much larger. The server now invokes a
system call to get the page size of the current platform rather than
using a hardcoded value. A consequence for the --log-tc-size option
is that the minimum and default values are now 6 times the page size.
Also, the value must be a multiple of the page size. Thanks to Alexey
Kopytov for the patch.
