Linux-specific ELF idiosyncrasies

Definitions
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"First" program header is the one with the smallest offset in the file:
|
||
|
|
e_phoff.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
"Last" program header is the one with the biggest offset in the file:
|
||
|
|
e_phoff + (e_phnum - 1) * sizeof(Elf_Phdr).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PT_INTERP
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First PT_INTERP program header is used to locate the filename of ELF
|
||
|
|
interpreter. Other PT_INTERP headers are ignored (since Linux 2.4.11).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PT_GNU_STACK
|
||
|
|
============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last PT_GNU_STACK program header defines userspace stack executability
|
||
|
|
(since Linux 2.6.6). Other PT_GNU_STACK headers are ignored.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
PT_GNU_PROPERTY
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ELF interpreter's last PT_GNU_PROPERTY program header is used (since
|
||
|
|
Linux 5.8). If interpreter doesn't have one, then the last PT_GNU_PROPERTY
|
||
|
|
program header of an executable is used. Other PT_GNU_PROPERTY headers
|
||
|
|
are ignored.
