Thanks for your awnsers. Your awnsers gave me a lot of searching material.
I searched for "How the kernel executes binary files" and some such related keywords, keyphrases in google and I came across this URL:
http://tech.dupnica.net/understandinlinuxkernel/ch19e.html
This webpage deals a lot with the internal working of the kernel. It mentions the functions sys_execve, prepare_binprm and load_binary which perform the binary execution process.
But what I was interested in knowing is WHICH kernel module defines
these functions? Which library is called by the kernel when it recieves
the instruction to execute a binary, the library that contains these symbols?
What I basically am interested in is the knowing the complete knowledge of the background? That is when I create an executable of my own using gcc or some other 'C' compiler and run the executable by saying "./executable-name" then which kernel modules are involved, their sequence e.t.c. If I get to know the name of even one kernel module I can search out the whole module sequence from google.
By the by in this context I ran the command "ksyms" on a Redhat terminal but I did not come across the aforementioned symbols, not even something close. I guess "ksyms" shows only the externally usable kernel symbols.
Sorry for keeping you engaged.
