I wrote about the alignment issue here on ARM:

If I understood it, you have a bazillion alignment faults in your user
code that aren't being fixed up, which will cause exactly this kind of
symptom with sha512sum.
Try
echo 2 > /proc/cpu/alignment
(take care to keep the spaces as shown) and try the tests again.
