Commit 2217b98262 ("binfmt_flat: revert "binfmt_flat: don't offset
the data start"") restored offsetting the start of the data section by
a number of words defined by MAX_SHARED_LIBS. As a result, since
MAX_SHARED_LIBS is never 0, a gap between the text and data sections
always exists. For architectures which cannot support a such gap
between the text and data sections (e.g. riscv nommu), flat binary
programs cannot be executed.
To allow an architecture to request no data start offset to allow for
contiguous text and data sections for binaries flagged with
FLAT_FLAG_RAM, introduce the new config option
CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET. Using this new option, the
macro DATA_START_OFFSET_WORDS is conditionally defined in binfmt_flat.c
to MAX_SHARED_LIBS for architectures tolerating or needing the data
start offset (CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET disabled case)
and to 0 when CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET is enabled.
DATA_START_OFFSET_WORDS is used in load_flat_file() to calculate the
data section length and start position.

ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) is a format for libraries and
|
|
executables used across different architectures and operating
|
|
systems. Saying Y here will enable your kernel to run ELF binaries
|
|
and enlarge it by about 13 KB. ELF support under Linux has now all
|
|
but replaced the traditional Linux a.out formats (QMAGIC and ZMAGIC)
|
|
because it is portable (this does *not* mean that you will be able
|
|
to run executables from different architectures or operating systems
|
|
however) and makes building run-time libraries very easy. Many new
|
|
executables are distributed solely in ELF format. You definitely
|
|
want to say Y here.
|
|
|
|
Information about ELF is contained in the ELF HOWTO available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
If you find that after upgrading from Linux kernel 1.2 and saying Y
|
|
here, you still can't run any ELF binaries (they just crash), then
|
|
you'll have to install the newest ELF runtime libraries, including
|
|
ld.so (check the file <file:Documentation/Changes> for location and
|
|
latest version).

ELF FDPIC binaries are based on ELF, but allow the individual load
|
|
segments of a binary to be located in memory independently of each
|
|
other. This makes this format ideal for use in environments where no
|
|
MMU is available as it still permits text segments to be shared,
|
|
even if data segments are not.
|

It is also possible to run FDPIC ELF binaries on MMU linux also.

ELF core dump files describe each memory mapping of the crashed
|
|
process, and can contain or omit the memory contents of each one.
|
|
The contents of an unmodified text mapping are omitted by default.
|
|
|
|
For an unmodified text mapping of an ELF object, including just
|
|
the first page of the file in a core dump makes it possible to
|
|
identify the build ID bits in the file, without paying the i/o
|
|
cost and disk space to dump all the text. However, versions of
|
|
GDB before 6.7 are confused by ELF core dump files in this format.
|
|
|
|
The core dump behavior can be controlled per process using
|
|
the /proc/PID/coredump_filter pseudo-file; this setting is
|
|
inherited. See Documentation/filesystems/proc.rst for details.

#! followed by the path to an interpreter.

You can build this support as a module; however, until that module
|
|
gets loaded, you cannot run scripts. Thus, if you want to load this
|
|
module from an initramfs, the portion of the initramfs before loading
|
|
this module must consist of compiled binaries only.
|
|
|
|
Most systems will not boot if you say M or N here. If unsure, say Y.

A.out (Assembler.OUTput) is a set of formats for libraries and
|
|
executables used in the earliest versions of UNIX. Linux used
|
|
the a.out formats QMAGIC and ZMAGIC until they were replaced
|
|
with the ELF format.
|
|
|
|
The conversion to ELF started in 1995. This option is primarily
|
|
provided for historical interest and for the benefit of those
|
|
who need to run binaries from that era.
|
|
|
|
Most people should answer N here. If you think you may have
|
|
occasional use for this format, enable module support above
|
|
and answer M here to compile this support as a module called
|
|
binfmt_aout.
|
|
|
|
If any crucial components of your system (such as /sbin/init
|
|
or /lib/ld.so) are still in a.out format, you will have to
|

say Y here.

Say Y here if you want to be able to execute Linux/Intel ELF

this to work, you need to have the emulator /usr/bin/em86 in place.
|

You can get the same functionality by saying N here and saying Y to
|
|
"Kernel support for MISC binaries".
|

You may answer M to compile the emulation support as a module and
|

later load the module when you want to use a Linux/Intel binary. The

module will be called binfmt_em86. If unsure, say Y.

tristate "Kernel support for MISC binaries"

help
|

If you say Y here, it will be possible to plug wrapper-driven binary
|
|
formats into the kernel. You will like this especially when you use
|
|
programs that need an interpreter to run like Java, Python, .NET or
|
|
Emacs-Lisp. It's also useful if you often run DOS executables under
|
|
the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). Once you have
|
|
registered such a binary class with the kernel, you can start one of
|
|
those programs simply by typing in its name at a shell prompt; Linux
|
|
will automatically feed it to the correct interpreter.
|
|
|
|
You can do other nice things, too. Read the file
|
|
<file:Documentation/admin-guide/binfmt-misc.rst> to learn how to use this
|
|
feature, <file:Documentation/admin-guide/java.rst> for information about how
|
|
to include Java support. and <file:Documentation/admin-guide/mono.rst> for
|
|
information about how to include Mono-based .NET support.
|
|
|
|
To use binfmt_misc, you will need to mount it:
|
|
mount binfmt_misc -t binfmt_misc /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
|
|
|
|
You may say M here for module support and later load the module when
|
|
you have use for it; the module is called binfmt_misc. If you
|
|
don't know what to answer at this point, say Y.
