Thanks for your comments.

The test case is in this rs6000 patch. The patch is still under review.
https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2024-January/643995.html

I have sent the second version of the patch. The main change is to detect the
zero cost returned by insn_cost as it means the cost is unknown.

I have already tested the patch on other targets. I have found some regression
on x86 due to the wrong cost conversion from set_src_cost to pattern_cost. I
have sent another patch for this issue. Reviewers have different thoughts on
it. It's pending now.
