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.

help
|
|
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.
|
|
|

This config option changes the default setting of coredump_filter

|
seen at boot time. If unsure, say Y.

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.

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.
|
|
|
|

help
|

This option enables support for performing core dumps. You almost

|
certainly want to say Y here. Not necessary on systems that never
|
|
need debugging or only ever run flawless code.
