5 // ELF shared object file updates handler.
6 //
7 // Provides functions to remove R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations from the .rel.dyn
8 // section and pack them in .android.rel.dyn, and unpack to return the file
9 // to its pre-packed state.
10 //
11 // Files to be packed or unpacked must include an existing .android.rel.dyn
12 // section.  A standard libchrome.<version>.so will not contain this section,
13 // so the following can be used to add one:
14 //
15 //   echo -n 'NULL' >/tmp/small
16 //   arm-linux-gnueabi-objcopy
17 //       --add-section .android.rel.dyn=/tmp/small
18 //       libchrome.<version>.so libchrome.<version>.so.packed
19 //   rm /tmp/small
20 //
21 // To use, open the file and pass the file descriptor to the constructor,
22 // then pack or unpack as desired.  Packing or unpacking will flush the file
23 // descriptor on success.  Example:
24 //
25 //   int fd = open(..., O_RDWR);
26 //   ElfFile elf_file(fd);
27 //   bool status;
28 //   if (is_packing)
29 //     status = elf_file.PackRelocations();
30 //   else
31 //     status = elf_file.UnpackRelocations();
32 //   close(fd);
33 //
34 // SetPadding() causes PackRelocations() to pad .rel.dyn with R_ARM_NONE
35 // entries rather than cutting a hole out of the shared object file.  This
36 // keeps all load addresses and offsets constant, and enables easier
37 // debugging and testing.
38 //
39 // A packed shared object file has all of its R_ARM_RELATIVE relocations
40 // removed from .rel.dyn, and replaced as packed data in .android.rel.dyn.
41 // The resulting file is shorter than its non-packed original.
42 //
43 // Unpacking a packed file restores the file to its non-packed state, by
44 // expanding the packed data in android.rel.dyn, combining the R_ARM_RELATIVE
45 // relocations with the data already in .rel.dyn, and then writing back the
46 // now expanded .rel.dyn section.
