Hi Hou,
I've filed this bug against LLVM and will work with LLVM folks at
Intel to resolve:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62481
Can you please review that report and let me know here or there if I
missed anything? Would you also mind including a link to that in the
comments in the next version of this patch?

Less relevant issues I filed looking at some related codegen:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62482
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/62480

And we should probably look into:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/22476
