[ Linux kernel ] Understanding ELF - Dissecting of Executable and Linking Format. kernel Internals and Linux device driver. The Executable and Linking Format (ELF) is a file format used by many modern operating systems, including Linux, Unix, and macOS. ELF files contain executable code, data, and other information that can be loaded into memory and executed by the operating system. ELF files are divided into sections, each with a specific purpose. The most important sections are the .text section, which contains the executable code, and the .data section, which contains initialized data. Other sections include the .bss section, which contains uninitialized data, and the .rodata section, which contains read-only data. The ELF file format also includes a header that provides information about the file, such as its entry point and the location of its sections in memory. This header is used by the operating system to load and execute the binary file. During the linking process, the linker combines multiple object files into a single executable file. The linker resolves symbol references between different object files, ensuring that each symbol is defined only once in the final executable. Overall, the ELF format is a crucial aspect of modern operating systems, allowing for the efficient storage and execution of binary files while providing essential information to the operating system. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We teach you all the fundamental requirements necessary to understand and start developing for the Linux kernel. Attendees will go deep into the internals of the Linux operating system and begin to develop kernel modules for the latest popular distributions. From kernel module implementation to memory and process management, including I/O, debugging, file systems, and kernel security mechanisms, this course is all-encompassing. Basic & Advance Linux Kernel concepts Once we get finished with all the basic concepts that are required then you will be taught everything starting from kernel module implementation to memory and process management, including I/O, debugging, file systems, patching and kernel security mechanisms, this course is all-encompassing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Linux kernel foundation course Full Stack Linux Kernel & Device Driver Programming Course Its a complete guided course of ~140+ hrs. combination of following modules.
