 0x0000fffe9cc36888: sxtb w10, w11
 0x0000fffe9cc3688c: sxtw x0, w10

 

The final code has a redundant sxtb, which generated from (RShiftI (LShiftI src lshift_count) rshift_count). This shift pair seems to act the same role which ConvI2L does.

 

The wrong initial type of ExtractB causes this issue (https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/dbf0905ff4ad6c831095278fc47c3a6354fe3bc1/src/hotspot/share/opto/vectornode.hpp#L1265 ).
