Commit26dda57695"tools/bootconfig: Cleanup bootconfig footer size calculations" replaced some expressions of type int with the BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE macro, which expands to an expression of type size_t, which is unsigned. On 32-bit architectures with LFS enabled (i.e. off_t is 64-bit), the seek offset of -BOOTCONFIG_FOOTER_SIZE now turns into a positive value. Fix this by casting the size to off_t before negating it. Just in case someone changes BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN to have type size_t later, do the same thing to the seek offset of -BOOTCONFIG_MAGIC_LEN.

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 reStructuredText 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.
