FWIW, I tried it on another RHEL7 machine running live,
but then also on a RHEL8 kernel dumpfile, and they all hang:
$ crash vmlinux vmcore

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:
