Sorry I have no idea why there is no format specifier considered for 
switching of randomized or non-randomized environment. May they think 
that raw address should not leak in non-randomized environment too. May 
be Kees or Tobin can answer this question.

Kees? Tobin?

Actually I still do not understand why we should print the raw value 
here. When KALLSYMS is enabled we have symbol name  and  offset like 
put_cred_rcu+0x108/0x110, and when KALLSYMS is disabled we have the raw 
address.
