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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
