[PATCH] Fix posix-cpu-timer breakage caused by stale p->last_ran value
Problem description at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8048
Commit b18ec80396834497933d77b81ec0918519f4e2a7
[PATCH] sched: improve migration accuracy
optimized the scheduler time calculations, but broke posix-cpu-timers.
The problem is that the p->last_ran value is not updated after a context
switch. So a subsequent call to current_sched_time() calculates with a
stale p->last_ran value, i.e. accounts the full time, which the task was
scheduled away.
