<p><a name="index-PHDRS-443"></a><a name="index-program-headers-444"></a><a name="index-ELF-program-headers-445"></a><a name="index-program-segments-446"></a><a name="index-segments_002c-ELF-447"></a>The ELF object file format uses <dfn>program headers</dfn>, also knows as
|
|
<dfn>segments</dfn>. The program headers describe how the program should be
|
|
loaded into memory. You can print them out by using the <code>objdump</code>
|
|
program with the <span class="samp">-p</span> option.
|
|
|
|
<p>When you run an ELF program on a native ELF system, the system loader
|
|
reads the program headers in order to figure out how to load the
|
|
program. This will only work if the program headers are set correctly.
|
|
This manual does not describe the details of how the system loader
|
|
interprets program headers; for more information, see the ELF ABI.
|
|
|
|
<p>The linker will create reasonable program headers by default. However,
|
|
in some cases, you may need to specify the program headers more
|
|
precisely. You may use the <code>PHDRS</code> command for this purpose. When
|
|
the linker sees the <code>PHDRS</code> command in the linker script, it will
|
|
not create any program headers other than the ones specified.
|
|
|
|
<p>The linker only pays attention to the <code>PHDRS</code> command when
|
|
generating an ELF output file. In other cases, the linker will simply
|
|
ignore <code>PHDRS</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>This is the syntax of the <code>PHDRS</code> command. The words <code>PHDRS</code>,
|
|
<code>FILEHDR</code>, <code>AT</code>, and <code>FLAGS</code> are keywords.
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> PHDRS
|
|
{
|
|
<var>name</var> <var>type</var> [ FILEHDR ] [ PHDRS ] [ AT ( <var>address</var> ) ]
|
|
[ FLAGS ( <var>flags</var> ) ] ;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The <var>name</var> is used only for reference in the <code>SECTIONS</code> command
|
|
of the linker script. It is not put into the output file. Program
|
|
header names are stored in a separate name space, and will not conflict
|
|
with symbol names, file names, or section names. Each program header
|
|
must have a distinct name.
|
|
|
|
<p>Certain program header types describe segments of memory which the
|
|
system loader will load from the file. In the linker script, you
|
|
specify the contents of these segments by placing allocatable output
|
|
sections in the segments. You use the <span class="samp">:</span><var>phdr</var> output section
|
|
attribute to place a section in a particular segment. See <a href="Output-Section-Phdr.html#Output-Section-Phdr">Output Section Phdr</a>.
|
|
|
|
<p>It is normal to put certain sections in more than one segment. This
|
|
merely implies that one segment of memory contains another. You may
|
|
repeat <span class="samp">:</span><var>phdr</var>, using it once for each segment which should
|
|
contain the section.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you place a section in one or more segments using <span class="samp">:</span><var>phdr</var>,
|
|
then the linker will place all subsequent allocatable sections which do
|
|
not specify <span class="samp">:</span><var>phdr</var> in the same segments. This is for
|
|
convenience, since generally a whole set of contiguous sections will be
|
|
placed in a single segment. You can use <code>:NONE</code> to override the
|
|
default segment and tell the linker to not put the section in any
|
|
segment at all.
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="index-FILEHDR-448"></a><a name="index-PHDRS-449"></a>You may use the <code>FILEHDR</code> and <code>PHDRS</code> keywords appear after
|
|
the program header type to further describe the contents of the segment.
|
|
The <code>FILEHDR</code> keyword means that the segment should include the ELF
|
|
file header. The <code>PHDRS</code> keyword means that the segment should
|
|
include the ELF program headers themselves.
|
|
|
|
<p>The <var>type</var> may be one of the following. The numbers indicate the
|
|
value of the keyword.
|
|
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt><code>PT_NULL</code> (0)<dd>Indicates an unused program header.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>PT_LOAD</code> (1)<dd>Indicates that this program header describes a segment to be loaded from
|
|
the file.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>PT_DYNAMIC</code> (2)<dd>Indicates a segment where dynamic linking information can be found.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>PT_INTERP</code> (3)<dd>Indicates a segment where the name of the program interpreter may be
|
|
found.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>PT_NOTE</code> (4)<dd>Indicates a segment holding note information.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>PT_SHLIB</code> (5)<dd>A reserved program header type, defined but not specified by the ELF
|
|
ABI.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><code>PT_PHDR</code> (6)<dd>Indicates a segment where the program headers may be found.
|
|
|
|
<br><dt><var>expression</var><dd>An expression giving the numeric type of the program header. This may
|
|
be used for types not defined above.
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>You can specify that a segment should be loaded at a particular address
|
|
in memory by using an <code>AT</code> expression. This is identical to the
|
|
<code>AT</code> command used as an output section attribute (see <a href="Output-Section-LMA.html#Output-Section-LMA">Output Section LMA</a>). The <code>AT</code> command for a program header overrides the
|
|
output section attribute.
|
|
|
|
<p>The linker will normally set the segment flags based on the sections
|
|
which comprise the segment. You may use the <code>FLAGS</code> keyword to
|
|
explicitly specify the segment flags. The value of <var>flags</var> must be
|
|
an integer. It is used to set the <code>p_flags</code> field of the program
|
|
header.
|
|
|
|
<p>Here is an example of <code>PHDRS</code>. This shows a typical set of program
|
|
headers used on a native ELF system.
