GCC -O0 Generating Weird AVX extra store/reload instructions with intrinsics [duplicate]

I have created a simple, vectorized C function to square each element in an array. The code is as follows:

#include <immintrin.h>void square(const double* arr, uint len, double* outarr) {    __m256d v;    for (uint i = 0; i <= len - 4; i += 4) {        v = _mm256_load_pd(&arr[i]);        _mm256_stream_pd(&outarr[i], _mm256_mul_pd(v, v));    }    for (uint i = len-(len&3u); i < len; i++) {        outarr[i] = arr[i]*arr[i];    }}int main() {    double* inp = aligned_alloc(32, 100* sizeof(double));    double* out = aligned_alloc(32, 100* sizeof(double));    square(inp, 100u, out);    return 0;}

When I compile this code with:

gcc main.c -mavx -o main

I get the following disassembly for the square function:

Then, when I compile the code with:

gcc main.c -mavx -O3 -o main

I get the following disassembly for the square function:

I was just wondering if someone could explain what GCC is doing in the first code snippet. There seems to be a bunch of random vmovapd instructions with no particular purpose. I.e instruction <+110> seems to be useless as the contents of %ymm0 are the same as -0x90(%rbp)? I can understand what the -O3 code does but I'm confused about the non-optimized code. Thank you.
