 Did you attempt this patch on a live system?  Because your patch to 
 kernel_init() hangs the session.  I didn't bother to investigate beyond
 adding these two debug statements around your addition to kernel_init():
 
  error(INFO, "start patch...\n");
          get_uptime(NULL, &uptime_jiffies);
          uptime_sec = (uptime_jiffies)/(ulonglong)machdep->hz;
          kt->boot_date.tv_sec = kt->date.tv_sec - uptime_sec;
          kt->boot_date.tv_nsec = 0;
  error(INFO, "end patch...\n");
 
 And that's where it hangs:
 
  $ ./crash

 FWIW, I tried it on another RHEL7 machine running live,

 Just to mention an alternative possibility, the pykdump extension to crash
(
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pykdump/) includes the 'tslog' command to
accomplish this.

 Subject: [Crash-utility] [PATCH] add log -T option to display the message text with human
readable timestamp
 
 Sometimes, we need to know the accurate time of the log, which helps us analyze the
problem.
 
 add -T option(like dmesg -T command) for log command to display the message text with
human readable timestamp.
