[BUG -rt] cpu rlimits not enforced w/ -rt

[john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>]

Hey,
	I've been hunting an issue in 2.6.14-rt16 (also present in
2.6.16-rt17), where the cpu rlimits were not being enforced. 

I tracked it down in update_process_times, where we have the following:

#ifndef CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT
 	run_posix_cpu_timers(p);
#endif

Yea, that would do it. :)


Hmm.. Looking through the archives, I came up w/ the discussion here:
http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0509.3/1579.html

I was just curious what folks are thinking about for a fix here? Should
we just create a soft timer that calls run_posix_cpu_timers? 

thanks
-john
