Detailed Description

ELF binary loading support.

This file contains the support functionality for loading ELF binaries in KOS. This includes the various header structures and whatnot that are used in ELF files to store code/data/relocations/etc. This isn't necessarily meant for running multiple processes, but more for loadable library support within KOS.

Macro Definition Documentation

#define ELF32_R_SYM ( i ) ((i) >> 8)

Retrieve the symbol index from a relocation entry.

Parameters

i	The info field of an elf_rel_t or elf_rela_t.

Returns: The symbol table index from that relocation entry.

#define ELF32_R_TYPE ( i ) ((uint8)(i))

Retrieve the relocation type from a relocation entry.

Parameters

i	The info field of an elf_rel_t or an elf_rela_t.

Returns: The relocation type of that relocation.

See also: ELF relocation types

#define ELF32_ST_BIND ( info ) ((info) >> 4)

Retrieve the binding type for a symbol.

Parameters

info	The info field of an elf_sym_t.

Returns: The binding type of the symbol.

See also: Symbol binding types.

#define ELF32_ST_TYPE ( info ) ((info) & 0xf)

Retrieve the symbol type for a symbol.

Parameters

info	The info field of an elf_sym_t.

Returns: The symbol type of the symbol.

See also: Symbol types.

Typedef Documentation

typedef struct elf_prog elf_prog_t

Kernel-specific definition of a loaded ELF binary.

This structure represents the internal representation of a loaded ELF binary in KallistiOS (specifically as a dynamically loaded library).

Function Documentation

void elf_free ( elf_prog_t * prog )

Free a loaded ELF program.

This function cleans up an ELF binary that was loaded with elf_load().

Parameters

prog	The loaded binary to clean up.

int elf_load	(	const char *	fn,
		struct klibrary *	shell,
		elf_prog_t *	out
	)

Load an ELF binary.

This function loads an ELF binary from the VFS and fills in an elf_prog_t for it.

Parameters

fn	The filename of the binary on the VFS.
shell	Unused?
out	Storage for the binary that will be loaded.

Returns: 0 on success, <0 on failure.
