Subject: [PATCH v2] build-id: require program headers to be right after ELF header
Date: Fri, 21 Jun 2024 21:39:33 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d58bc281-6ca7-467a-9a64-40fa214bd63e@p183> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240621100752.ea87e0868591dd3f49bbd271@linux-foundation.org>

Neither ELF spec not ELF loader require program header to be placed
right after ELF header, but build-id code very much assumes such placement:

See

	find_get_page(vma->vm_file->f_mapping, 0);

line and checks against PAGE_SIZE. 

Returns errors for now until someone rewrites build-id parser
to be more inline with load_elf_binary().
