When CONFIG_SMP=y, timebase synchronization is required when the second kernel is started. arch/powerpc/kernel/smp.c: int __cpu_up(unsigned int cpu, struct task_struct *tidle) { ... if (smp_ops->give_timebase) smp_ops->give_timebase(); ... } void start_secondary(void *unused) { ... if (smp_ops->take_timebase) smp_ops->take_timebase(); ... } When CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=n and CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=n, smp_85xx_ops.give_timebase is NULL, smp_85xx_ops.take_timebase is NULL, As a result, the timebase is not synchronized. Timebase synchronization does not depend on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU.

I found inconsistent time values on different CPUs on my mpc8572 and used this patch to fix it. But today I found out in ppc64 testing that this patch causes the system to trigger oops in the function mpc85xx_freeze_time_base(): the variable "guts" is a null pointer. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll fix it and resend v2 later, Thanks Xiaoming Ni
