Hello list,
The PSR.lp bit of kernel thread kondemand sometimes would be set, then
causes set_pstate PAL call fails with invalid argument. I tracked down
to the place that the PSR.lp was set in do_notify_resume_user. I don't
understand why not use task->thread.on_ustack to
check if on user stack.in the first place. For optimization?
