Subject: [PATCH] spufs: fix context-switch decrementer code
Date: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 17:44:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200604121744.27674.arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com> (raw)

From: Jordi Caubet <jordi_caubet@es.ibm.com>

We found that when the 'decrementer' is saved, the PPE saves the current
time 'csa->suspend_time'. When restoring the 'decrementer', (Step 34)
decrementer seems to be adjusted with the number of cycles th= at a spu
thread has not been running.

In that code it is missing a substract ('-') because 'delta_time' is
assigned a not substracted(see bellow).

Acked-by: Mark Nutter <mnutter@us.ibm.com>
