When CONFIG_SMP=y, timebase synchronization is required for mpc8572 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.

Code snippet about give_timebase and take_timebase assignments: arch/powerpc/platforms/85xx/smp.c: #ifdef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU #ifdef CONFIG_FSL_CORENET_RCPM fsl_rcpm_init(); #endif #ifdef CONFIG_FSL_PMC mpc85xx_setup_pmc(); #endif if (qoriq_pm_ops) { smp_85xx_ops.give_timebase = mpc85xx_give_timebase; smp_85xx_ops.take_timebase = mpc85xx_take_timebase;
config dependency: FSL_CORENET_RCPM depends on the PPC_E500MC. FSL_PMC depends on SUSPEND. SUSPEND depends on ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE. ARCH_SUSPEND_POSSIBLE depends on !PPC_E500MC.
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_FSL_PMC require the timebase function, but the timebase should not depend on CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_FSL_PMC. Therefore, adjust the macro control range. Ensure that the corresponding timebase hook function is not empty when the dtsi node is configured.
----- changes in v2: 1. add new patch: "powerpc:85xx:Fix oops when mpc85xx_smp_guts_ids node cannot be found" 2. Using !CONFIG_FSL_CORENET_RCPM to manage the timebase code of !PPC_E500MC
