The problem is in this code:

  if (DiagnoseSyncOnValueBasedClasses != 0) {
    load_klass(tmp1, obj);
    ldr_u32(tmp1, Address(tmp1, Klass::access_flags_offset()));
    tst(tmp1, JVM_ACC_IS_VALUE_BASED_CLASS);
    b(slow_case, ne);
  }

tmp1 is noreg when !BiasedLocking, because c1_LIRGenerator_arm.cpp provides it only when UseBiasedLocking is enabled.

void LIRGenerator::do_MonitorEnter(MonitorEnter* x) {
  ...
  // Need a scratch register for biased locking on arm
  LIR_Opr scratch = LIR_OprFact::illegalOpr;
  if(UseBiasedLocking) {
    scratch = new_pointer_register();
  } else {
    scratch = atomicLockOpr(); // <--- actually illegalOpr
  }

  ...

  monitor_enter(obj.result(), lock, hdr, scratch,
                x->monitor_no(), info_for_exception, info);
}
