That might be a bit harsh.
In what respect?

It disables all kinds of optimisations that work now.

First things first: is the information recorded correct?
I think yes, but care must be taken what may be concluded from that information. From a set of 8 bits you cannot draw conclusion about all 64 bits; this should be obvious enough :-)

:-)

In the above case rsp[regno] holds only information for 1 sub-byte. In order to get the complete DImode story we would have to get the info for all sub-parts and then put them together...

Yes, and the rsp stuff does not do that.

I am testing the following patch.  Thanks,

But the problem is inside get_last_value. You'd have to add such a check at /all/ call sites of that function. Using a value for a hard reg that's been set in a smaller mode than the mode of get_last_value is just wrong.

For example combine tracks bits which are known to be zero, and if get_last_value is used in a similar situation, then the conclusion about zero-bits is also wrong.

Would be interesting to patch get_last_value so that it issues some diagnostic if

if (regno < FIRST_PSEUDO_REGISTER
    && (GET_MODE_PRECISION (rsp->last_set_mode)
        < GET_MODE_PRECISION (GET_MODE (x))))

and then run the testsuite against that compiler. I would expect that the condition doesn't even trigger on x86.
