Try "tar xf jdk-8u111-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar" Since the file name doesn't end with ".tar.gz", I assume it is an uncompressed tar file, the '-z' option is your problem.
I'd also run "file jdk-8u111-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar". For example, on my system: $ file compat-wireless-2015-03-09.tar* compat-wireless-2015-03-09.tar: POSIX tar archive (GNU) compat-wireless-2015-03-09.tar.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k But, Robert Nelson's reply is probably more relevant about arm64...
