Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the schematic flow sheet that a kind of loading provided by the invention has the embodiment of the method for the ELF file that can perform and link form.As shown in Figure 1, this flow process comprises:
101: resolve to obtain obj ect file (.o) to static library (.a) file in ELF file.
Obj ect file of the present invention (.o) is the retargetable file preserved with ELF form, and the content in obj ect file can comprise the threshold marker to each function, describes, to form the executable instruction of machine.Also need when program will perform to carry out linking (link), link becomes an executable file multiple .o file chain exactly.
ELF file is except can comprising relocatable obj ect file, the obj ect file that can also comprise executable obj ect file and can be shared, above-mentioned three kinds of obj ect file are owing to can represent with the form of obj ect file .o, and multiple .o obj ect file can be filed (archive) and become .a static library file, thus final composition ELF file, the object of therefore resolving static library (.a) file in the present invention is exactly to obtain the obj ect file (.o) forming ELF file.
Particularly, decompression (reduction) process of resolving a compressed package rar in the process of static library file and windows operating system is similar, namely analyze the static library (.a) generated by obj ect file (.o) packing, resolve wherein each obj ect file (.o).
102: from the obj ect file obtained, extract effective section (section).
When after acquisition obj ect file (.o), for each obj ect file, can therefrom extract effective section and information of recorded segments.
Effective section (sections) inside ELF file, in order to the smallest vessel of load content data.
Preferably, can for the obj ect file of each acquisition, extract effective section according to the ELF file header (ELFHeader) of described obj ect file and segment file head table (SHT, SectionHeaderTable) and record each segment information.
The particular type of this effective section can comprise: executable code segment, application data section, or reorientation section.Wherein this executable code segment can specifically comprise .text section etc. again, and this application data section can comprise .data section .bss section or .rodata section etc., and this reorientation section can comprise .rel.data section .rel.bss section or rel.rodata section etc.
Effective segment information of this record includes but not limited to: each section of sequence number, field offset amount or section size etc.
Wherein
1) executable code is loaded with in .text section;
2) data be initialised are loaded with in .data section;
3) data be not initialised are loaded with in .bss section;
4) constant of respective symbols string and definition is loaded with in .rodata section
5) be loaded with relocation entries inside the reorientation section rel.text section of taking the lead with .rel .rel.data section .rel.bss section .rel.rodata section, this reorientation section is the section for helping executable code segment and application data section to carry out reorientation;
Such as: in .rel.text, illustrated in .text section, which place needs to do reorientation.
Below lift an instantiation so that the concrete mode extracting effective section and each segment information from ELFHeader and SHT of obj ect file to be described:
ELFHeader in the present embodiment can represent with the form shown in Fig. 2.
As shown in Figure 2, this ELFHeader illustrates the form of relocatable obj ect file (.o).Corresponding sections and sequence number can be learnt from this ELFHeader, and in an ELF file, have which concrete sections on earth, then be reflected in the SHT in this ELF file.
SHT shows the definition of discal patch object structure:
In SHT, for each section, be all provided with an entry, be used for describing this corresponding section, its content mainly comprises the title of this section, type, size and the byte offset location in whole ELF file etc.
Above-mentioned SHT shows field Off (sh_offset) in discal patch object structure and illustrates the distance that this section leaves top of file position, i.e. side-play amount; Size (sh_size) represents the section size of section.
Thus the relevant section represented according to ELFHeader and SHT thus the information of each effective section can be extracted.
Above 101 and 102 is to the set-up procedure loaded before dynamic load ELF file, its step can or successively perform simultaneously, the present invention does not lay down hard-and-fast rule to the order that it performs, after above-mentioned set-up procedure performs, then by 103 loadings of effective section of realization to obj ect file further.
103: load effective section, and set up object map table sum functions mapping table respectively, for carrying out reorientation to the object in the effective section be loaded into and function for the object in described obj ect file and function.
For 103; can also by its Further Division for loading effective section, setting up mapping table and reorientation three steps; wherein the first two step can or successively perform simultaneously; the present invention does not lay down hard-and-fast rule to the order that it performs; as long as corresponding function can be completed, then all within scope.
Below three steps are described in detail:
The first step: load effective section.
For the effective section extracted 102, comprise executable code segment, application data section and reorientation section three types, wherein executable code segment and application data section belong to effective section that needs load, and reorientation section does not need to load, for effective section that these needs load, corresponding adopting different regions can be loaded in two ways according to the difference of its type.
First kind of way, loads for executable code segment (.text section):
Because the read-write being directed to different its flash of product is inconsistent, therefore for the ease of reorientation amendment .text section content, first can carry out reorientation to .text section, and then be write Flash.
The information that .text section needs reorientation is comprised in the reorientation section (.rel.text section) corresponding to .text section due to extraction, therefore the relocation loading mode before write flash can be: need the part of reorientation to record establishment relocation information the .text section recorded in the .rel.text section identified, reorientation is done to .text, and then .text section is copied and is written in Flash.
The second way, the loading for application data section (.data .bss and .rodata):
For .data, .bss and the load mode of .rodata from slightly different to the load mode of .text section, compared to for .text section be carried in be written to Flash before also comprise repositioning process to .text section, to .data, .bss and being carried in of .rodata be loaded into random access memory (RandomAccessMemory by each section, RAM) do not need to carry out reorientation before, but according to .data, and .rodata and corresponding reorientation section (..rel.data .bss, .rel.bss and .rel.rodata) effective segment information, by .data, .bss and .rodata section be directly loaded into RAM.
After loading effective section by the first and the second way, can carry out corresponding mark to each section of each obj ect file (.o), this mark can the information such as start address, field offset amount, section size of the section of including but not limited to.
The start address in its stage casing obtains according to effective section of initialization after loading, and field offset amount, section size obtain based on effective section of this extraction when extracting effective section.
In a first step, by the .text section being loaded with executable code is separated with the application data of other application data section, and by creating relocation information to the file destination of executable code and be loaded into internal memory, thus generate memory-mapped process, avoid the process repeatedly copying code data when loading ELF document, improve operational efficiency.
Second step, for the object in obj ect file and function set up object map table sum functions mapping table respectively.
In this step, set up object map table (obj_map) and Function Mapping table (func_map) respectively according to the difference of object and function, the mapping table set up is for follow-up reorientation and external call.
Wherein the mapping item of object map table comprises object oriented and object address, and the object address in this mapping table is the derived object by searching in effective section of obj ect file, obtains according to derived object address; The mapping item of Function Mapping table comprises function name sum functions address, and this function address is the derivative function by searching in effective section of obj ect file, and the address according to derivative function place obtains.
About object sum functions, give an example: the major part wherein comprised in .text section is function, and global variable, the functional elements etc. such as .text section .data section .bss section .rodata section file variable, function variable can with object encodings.Be divided into prior art due to object sum functions, do not repeat them here.
3rd step, carries out reorientation to the object in the effective section be loaded into and function.
In this step, use object map table to carry out reorientation to the object in effective section, or use described Function Mapping table to carry out reorientation to the function in effective section.
Particularly, when linking, need to carry out reorientation to the relocatable section of all file destinations, set up symbolic reference rule, be object simultaneously, the allocation address such as function.When program performs, the address space of specifying when code is loaded into link, to ensure program in the process of implementation to object, correctly quoting of the symbols such as function, makes normal program operation.
Based on the difference of the object extracted in obj ect file and type function, the relocation loading mode that two kinds different can be adopted.
First kind of way, reorientation is carried out to object (obj):
The use-pattern of object in .o file is, directly by the true address of object write literal pool.When this object of dynamic load, utilize the address of redirect object in literal pool of object described in the address search of existing object in described object map table, and the address of the object of redirect described in literal pool is revised as the address of existing object.
Particularly, compiler can all be put into literal pool (LiteralPool) region the address of object.Wherein only deposit specific address or constant inside LiteralPool.When needs carry out reorientation, according to the object relocation information that .rel.text .rel.data .rel.bss and .rel.rodata comprise, the specific address of the redirect object recorded in literal pool is obtained by the current address of the object recorded in object map table, specific address is searched from LiteralPool, when dynamic load, specific address in the literal pool at object place is revised as the address at existing object place, thus reorientation is done to the object that .text .data .bss and .rodata section comprises.
The second way, reorientation is carried out to function (func):
For the reorientation of function, the function address that address when current function can be utilized to run and the needs found from Function Mapping table jump to, through calculating jump instruction, the jump instruction calculated is utilized to upgrade jump instruction before, so that jump to the function address that namely will perform according to the jump instruction of described renewal.
Particularly, function call redirect adopts corresponding jump instruction, such as B/BL etc., when function is reorientated, based on the function relocation information that .rel.text etc. comprises, the true address needing the function jumped to is searched from Function Mapping table, the function true address that the needs that find from Function Mapping table jump to is combined according to the current address at place during function operation, jump instruction is obtained through series of computation, obtain correct jump instruction to upgrade jump instruction before, thus the function of reorientation is loaded according to the jump instruction after renewal.
Certainly, not can only search address according to object map table sum functions mapping table, what may quote due to object during dynamic load is that external object or function use dynamic base function, therefore when corresponding address information cannot be found in object or Function Mapping table, what then show object or function reference is external object or dynamic base function, the address of searching object or function dynamically now can be gone to so that reorientation, thus realize dynamic load.

Give one example, the present invention is particularly useful for the Cortex-M series processors embedded system supporting to adopt Thumb-2 instruction set.Because embedded MbedOS is based on the operating system designed by ARMCortex-M processor, Mbedos has the advantage of uniqueness as the system specially for embedded development customization.Current Cortex-M series processors can support Mbedos, but Mbedos also cannot provide the ELF file loader (Loader) being applicable to Cortex-M processor, because which limit the use of Mbedos in Cortex-M series processors at present.This is because existing embedded OS adopts the mode of static linkage to generate executable file for the loading of ELF file, and executable file is burned onto Flash, these operations all must complete under ARM instruction set, but due to the employing of Cortex-M series processors instruction set is Thumb-2 instruction set, this instruction set does not support the state being switched to ARM instruction set, and therefore prior art cannot provide the loader of dynamic analysis loading ELF document for this type of processor.
And method and apparatus provided by the invention converted a kind of thinking, not generate executable file by the mode of static linkage and be directly loaded into the mode of internal memory, do not need to be resolved and loading ELF document by specific ARM instruction set yet.But the static library file of ELF file is resolved to obtain effective section of the relocatable obj ect file of ELF and carries out reorientation, to enable the object in ELF file and function in relocatable mode by dynamic load.These processing procedures of the present invention are not limited to specific ARM instruction set, are therefore particularly useful for the Cortex-M series processors embedded system supporting to adopt Thumb-2 instruction set.
2) adopt the mode of static linkage to generate executable file in prior art, and executable file is burned onto Flash, therefore its number of applications run is limited to the executable file quantity of burning in Flash.And the present invention adopts dynamic load mode, can realize dynamic link based on this, the number of applications of operation is no longer limited to burning executable file quantity in Flash.
3) mode of static linkage needs generate executable file and be loaded into Flash, and it is comparatively large that this just causes file size, and power consumption is larger.The dynamic load mode of the application is compared prior art greatly less file size and power consumption.
