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.
