1. 目标文件的格式
Linux平台的可执行文件、目标文件(.o)、静态库(.a)、动态库(.so)都采用ELF
格式存储
-
ELF(Executable Linkable Format)
文件的类型- 可重定位文件(
Relocatable File
),包含了代码和数据,其中的符号地址是可以在链接过程修正的。目标文件、静态库文件都属于这种类型。 - 可执行文件(
Executable File
),包含了可执行的程序 - 共享目标文件(
Shared Object File
),主要是指动态库,用于链接,或者作为进程的一部分来执行 - Core Dump文件(
CoreDump File
),当进程或系统挂掉的时候,保存进程地址空间和一些其它信息的文件
- 可重定位文件(
-
$ file 文件名
可以用来查看属于何种类型的ELF文件
2. 目标文件的内容
源代码 SimpleSection.c:
int printf( const char *format, ... );
int global_init_var = 84;
int global_uninit_var;
void func( int i )
{
printf( "%d\n", i );
}
int main(void)
{
static int static_var = 85;
static int static_var2;
int a = 1;
int b;
func(static_var + static_var2 + a + b);
return 0;
}
目标文件的内容包含File Header
、各种段(Section)
、符号表
、调试信息
、字符串
等
- 编译后的机器指令存放于
代码段(.text section)
- 编译后的数据放在
数据段
- 初始化的全局变量和static局部变量存放于
.data section
- 未初始化的全局变量和局部变量存放于
.bss section
,bss段只是预留位置而已,并不占据文件空间
- 初始化的全局变量和static局部变量存放于
- 指令和数据分开的好处(部分编译器对未初始化的全局变量也不存放在bss段,只是预留符号而已)
- 程序装载之后,指令和数据被映射到两个虚拟内存区域,数据区域的权限为可读写,指令区域的权限为只读,可以防止指令被有意或者无意的改写
- 当系统中运行着一个程序的多个副本的时候,内存中只需保留一份该程序的指令部分。共享指令
3. 目标文件关键段解析
$ gcc -c SimpleSection.c -o SimpleSection.o -m32
Section Header
$ objdump -h SimpleSection.o
将关键段的基本信息打印出来

.text section
从上边的结果,可以清楚的看到.text section的内容,以及它们代表的汇编代码
- 从header信息可知,代码段的大小为0x50个字节,符合Contents of seciont .text的大小
- 第一个字节
0x55
表示汇编指令push %ebp
- 最后一个字节
0xc3
表示汇编指令ret
.data section
从源代码可知,有两个初始化的 int 数据 global_init_var(84) 和 static_var(85)
- 它们保存在文件偏移地址为
00000084
的位置 -
0x84
保存着global_init_var
,值为0x54 00 00 00
,4字节大端存储 -
0x88
保存着static_var
,值为0x55 00 00 00
,4字节大端存储
.rodata section
从源代码可知,有一个字符串"%d\n",它就保存在只读数据段,占用4个字节
$ hexdump -C SimpleSection.o
读取整个二进制文件的内容
$ objdump -h SimpleSection.o
获取关键段的基本信息,比较重要的有在文件中的偏移地址和大小
$ objdump -s -d SimpleSection.o
读取关键段的内容
4. 目标文件结构分析
ELF目标文件的总体结构
ELF文件内容涉及的比较多,这里只关注File Header、表、符号等内容
/usr/include/elf.h
定义了ELF用到的所有数据类型和结构体
File Header
- 结构体(
Elf32_Ehdr
)
/* The ELF file header. This appears at the start of every ELF file. */
#define EI_NIDENT (16)
typedef struct
{
unsigned char e_ident[EI_NIDENT]; /* Magic number and other info */
Elf32_Half e_type; /* Object file type */
Elf32_Half e_machine; /* Architecture */
Elf32_Word e_version; /* Object file version */
Elf32_Addr e_entry; /* Entry point virtual address */
Elf32_Off e_phoff; /* Program header table file offset */
Elf32_Off e_shoff; /* Section header table file offset */ 段表在文件中的偏移地址
Elf32_Word e_flags; /* Processor-specific flags */
Elf32_Half e_ehsize; /* ELF header size in bytes */
Elf32_Half e_phentsize; /* Program header table entry size */
Elf32_Half e_phnum; /* Program header table entry count */
Elf32_Half e_shentsize; /* Section header table entry size */
Elf32_Half e_shnum; /* Section header table entry count */
Elf32_Half e_shstrndx; /* Section header string table index */
} Elf32_Ehdr;

7f 45 4c 46 是文件的魔数(0x7f 'E' 'L' 'F'
)
01 01 01 分别代表文件类型(0代表无效文件, 1代表32位,2代表64位
)、字节序(0代表无效,1代表小端,2代表大端
)、ELF文件版本号(固定为1
)
Section Header Table
- Section Header 段描述符结构体(
Elf32_Shdr
)
/* Section header. */
typedef struct
{
Elf32_Word sh_name; /* Section name (string tbl index) */
Elf32_Word sh_type; /* Section type */

Elf32_Addr sh_addr; /* Section virtual addr at execution */
Elf32_Off sh_offset; /* Section file offset */
Elf32_Word sh_size; /* Section size in bytes */
Elf32_Word sh_link; /* Link to another section */
Elf32_Word sh_info; /* Additional section information */
Elf32_Word sh_addralign; /* Section alignment */
Elf32_Word sh_entsize; /* Entry size if section holds table */
} Elf32_Shdr;
-
$ hexdump -C SimpleSection.o
Section Header Table 内容16进制
从ELF Header信息,可以获取到
-
Start of section headers: 372 (bytes into file)
Section Header Table在文件中的偏移地址 -

.symtab 符号表 段
ELF文件中的符号存在于一个符号表中,而该表又是作为ELF的一个段:.symtab
- 符号的结构体(
Elf32_Sym
)
typedef struct

Bind 表明了该符号(变量、函数)的绑定信息
- LOCAL 局部符号,对于目标文件以外的文件不可见
- GLOBAL 全局符号,外部可见
- WEAK 弱引用
- 如果该符号存在着定义,编译器将进行该符号的引用决议
- 如果该符号未定义,则编译器不报错,将其定义为0
- 编译器的__attribute__ ((weak)),可以将符号声明为弱符号
Ndx 表明了该符号所在的段
- 如果符号定义在本文件中,那么该值表示所在段的下标
- 对于不在本文件中定义的符号,有一些特殊值
- ABS,该符号包含了一个绝对的值,比如文件名的符号
- COMMON,该符号是一个“Common块”类型的符号,未初始化的全局变量就属于这种类型
- Undef,该符号未在本文件中定义,引用的其它文件中的
Value 对于不同的符号有不同的意思
- 对于变量和函数来说,value就是它们相对于所在段的偏移地址
- 对于可执行文件,value代表符号在虚拟内存中的虚拟地址
