Without '-S', crash will try to find the symbols within vmlinux, but
somehow it failed to find the symbols as specified in
tasks.c:get_idle_threads(). So it fails down to reach
"init_task_union", which is a very old symbol and no longer exists in
kernels nowadays. I cannot tell why the symbols are missing in your
kernel, maybe due to your gcc or kernel config or else.

Currently the "-S" option is problematic and it doesn't deal with
kaslr issue. So if you use "-S" with kaslr enabled, it will fail with
no doubt. So when you disabled kaslr and use "-S" at the same time,
this can work as expected.
Please check the attachments, in which I drafted a patch to fix the
kaslr issue for "-S". This should work when you use "-S" with kaslr
enabled by your kernel. Please see if it can work for you.
