[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] spufs: fix context-switch decrementer code

[Arnd Bergmann]

From: Jordi Caubet <jordi_caubet at 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).
