Dear all: I find there is some problem about kernel setting to support loading static/dynamic elf format. I study the kernel source and find my error comes from search_binary_handler and it return -8, -ENOEXEC, while executing, fmt->load_binary. In kernel source, the core_initcall will register different init_elf_xxxfmt, and it seems this option will determine whether kernel support dynamic or static elf execute files. And kernel seems support these binfmts: binfmt_aout.c:static struct linux_binfmt aout_format = { binfmt_elf.c:static struct linux_binfmt elf_format = { binfmt_elf_fdpic.c:static struct linux_binfmt elf_fdpic_format = { binfmt_em86.c:static struct linux_binfmt em86_format = { binfmt_flat.c:static struct linux_binfmt flat_format = { binfmt_misc.c:static struct linux_binfmt misc_format = { binfmt_script.c:static struct linux_binfmt script_format = { binfmt_som.c:static struct linux_binfmt som_format = { And I check my fs folder and I only see this *.o files: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2748 2009-01-23 11:42 binfmt_script.o which is the default binfmt that will support. My questions are: 1. are my assumptions above correct? take my static build init for example, should I check whether static binary elf support code has build in my kernel? 2. if my assumption correct, which one in the list is my choice and what config I should add in my uclinxu kernel config? 3. if my assumption above is wrong and kernel will default support static elf file, why I get -8, -ENOEXEC, while calling fmt->load_binary. 4. There is only binfmt_script.o build in my kernel, but why in try=2 loop in search_binary_handler, I still get 2 fmt->load_binarys. There should only be 1 fmt->load_binary, load_script in Binfmt_script.c. appreciate your help, miloody -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
