How does changing the exit origin fix this?

how does setting the exit origin fix this?

Since PhantomInsertionPhase asks forAllKilledOperands what locals have been killed at any given Node and loc10 is in the header of bar loc10 will go from being considered dead in the caller to alive again in the callee (and killed at @3). By setting the exit origin to the caller's frame for arity fixup loc10 will not be seen as alive into @3 anymore. I'll add this to the comment.
