Since commit5e5c4fa787("scripts/kallsyms: shrink table before sorting it"), kallsyms_relative_base can be larger than _text, which causes overflow when building the 32-bit kernel. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/7/156 This is because _text is, unless --all-symbols is specified, now trimmed from the symbol table before record_relative_base() is called. Handle the offset signedness also for kallsyms_relative_base. Introduce a new helper, output_address(), to reduce the code duplication.

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.
