| 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.
