I don't believe the undef is the issue - I think the issue is that AArch64InstrInfo::isCopyInstrImpl is saying that a W-reg orr is a copy, even if it is really a zextend because the entire X output register is depended upon.

Can you try and add something to isCopyInstImpl instead, that says: If the register is virtual then it should not be a subreg, and if the register is physical then there should not be an implicit def of the X reg. Would that solve your issue, and would it cause other problems in AArch64 codegen? Thanks
