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).

Several architectures got those selects wrong (e.g. you could end up with sparc64 sans BINFMT_ELF, with select violating dependencies, etc.) Randy Dunlap has spotted some of those; IMO this is simpler than his fix, but it depends upon the stuff that would need to be backported, so we might end up using his variant for -stable.

binfmt_elf: allow arch code to examine PT_LOPROC ... PT_HIPROC headers MIPS is introducing new variants of its O32 ABI which differ in their handling of floating point, in order to enable a gradual transition towards a world where mips32 binaries can take advantage of new hardware features only available when configured for certain FP modes. In order to do this ELF binaries are being augmented with a new section that indicates, amongst other things, the FP mode requirements of the binary. The presence & location of such a section is indicated by a program header in the PT_LOPROC ... PT_HIPROC range. In order to allow the MIPS architecture code to examine the program header & section in question, pass all program headers in this range to an architecture-specific arch_elf_pt_proc function. This function may return an error if the header is deemed invalid or unsuitable for the system, in which case that error will be returned from load_elf_binary and upwards through the execve syscall. A means is required for the architecture code to make a decision once it is known that all such headers have been seen, but before it is too late to return from an execve syscall. For this purpose the arch_check_elf function is added, and called once, after all PT_LOPROC to PT_HIPROC headers have been passed to arch_elf_pt_proc but before the code which invoked execve has been lost. This enables the architecture code to make a decision based upon all the headers present in an ELF binary and its interpreter, as is required to forbid conflicting FP ABI requirements between an ELF & its interpreter. In order to allow data to be stored throughout the calls to the above functions, struct arch_elf_state is introduced. Finally a variant of the SET_PERSONALITY macro is introduced which accepts a pointer to the struct arch_elf_state, allowing it to act based upon state observed from the architecture specific program headers.

c6x: remove architecture The c6x architecture was added to the kernel in 2011 at a time when running Linux on DSPs was widely seen as the logical evolution. It appears the trend has gone back to running Linux on Arm based SoCs with DSP, using a better supported software ecosystem, and having better real-time behavior for the DSP code. An example of this is TI's own Keystone2 platform. The upstream kernel port appears to no longer have any users. Mark Salter remained avaialable to review patches, but mentioned that he no longer has access to working hardware himself. Without any users, it's best to just remove the code completely to reduce the work for cross-architecture code changes. Many thanks to Mark for maintaining the code for the past ten years.

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,

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

The contents of an unmodified text mapping are omitted by default.

add CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS This adds a kconfig option to change the /proc/PID/coredump_filter default. Fedora has been carrying a trivial patch to change the hard-wired value for this default, since Fedora 8. The default default can't change safely because there are old GDB versions out there (all before 6.7) that are confused by the core dump files created by the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS setting.

This config option changes the default setting of coredump_filter
coredump: default CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS=y The userland ELF tools have been coping with partial-segments core files for a few years now. Multiple distro builds are now setting this option. It behooves everyone who ever deals with core files to have more info dumped in there, especially as more and more people's compilers are producing build IDs. Make it the default. Anyone using older tools confused by these core files can configure this option off, or just change /proc/PID/coredump_filter after boot.

help
Say Y here if you want to execute interpreted scripts starting with
#! 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
binaries just like native Alpha binaries on your Alpha machine. For
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

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

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
