This is ok as-is, so

But you can do better.

You create an array, similar to arm's pred_esz_masks[],
indexed by log2(mlen).

    mask = pred_mlen_masks[log2_mlen];
    n = vl >> (6 - log2_mlen);
    r = extract32(vl, 0, 6 - log2_mlen);
    if (r) {
        rmask = extract64(mask, 0, r << log2_mlen);
    } else {
        rmask = 0;
    }

    if (vm) {
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            uint64_t j = ((uint64_t *)vs2)[i];
            cnt += ctpop64(j & mask);
        }
        if (rmask) {
            uint64_t j = ((uint64_t *)vs2)[i];
            cnt += ctpop64(j & rmask);
        }
    } else {
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            uint64_t j = ((uint64_t *)vs2)[i];
            uint64_t k = ((uint64_t *)v0)[i];
            cnt += ctpop64(j & k & mask);
        }
        if (rmask) {
            uint64_t j = ((uint64_t *)vs2)[i];
            uint64_t k = ((uint64_t *)v0)[i];
            cnt += ctpop64(j & k & rmask);
        }
    }
