Haskell optimization error
I have the following haskell function written in continuation style:
import Data.Bits ((.|.), shiftR)
nextPowerOf2 :: Int -> Int
nextPowerOf2 0 = 1
nextPowerOf2 x = (go $ go $ go $ go $ go $ \y m -> y + 1) (x - 1) 1
where go k y m = k (y .|. (y `shiftR` m)) $ m * 2
I expected this to compile with obvious well-optimized code, but instead I end up with basically the equivalent of this:
nextPowerOf2 0 = 1
nextPowerOf2 x =
let y1 = x - 1
y2 = y1 >> 1
y3 = (y1 .|. y2) >> 2
y4 = (y1 .|. y2 .|. y3) >> 4
y5 = (y1 .|. y2 .|. y3 .|. y4) >> 8
in 1 + (y1 .|. y2 .|. y3 .|. y4 .|. y5) .|. ((y1 .|. y2 .|. y3 .|. y4 .|. y5) >> 16)
even with optimization enabled. Can anyone explain why it duplicates so much, or how to rewrite it the way GHC understands it?
Edit:
The resulting ASM looks like this:

jmp *-8(%r13)
.size Main.nextPowerOf2_info, .-Main.nextPowerOf2_info
.section .data
.align 8
.align 1
and the expected kernel looks something like this:
nextPowerOf2 0 = 1
nextPowerOf2 x =
let y1 = x - 1
y2 = y1 .|. (y1 >> 1)
y3 = y2 .|. (y2 >> 2)
y4 = y3 .|. (y3 >> 4)
y5 = y4 .|. (y4 >> 8)
y6 = y5 .|. (y5 >> 16)
in 1 + y6
