8 // This is the crazy linker, a custom dynamic linker that can be used
9 // by NDK applications to load shared libraries (not executables) with
10 // a twist.
11 //
12 // Compared to the dynamic linker, the crazy one has the following
13 // features:
14 //
15 //   - It can use an arbitrary search path.
16 //
17 //   - It can load a library at a memory fixed address, or from a fixed
18 //     file offset (both must be page-aligned).
19 //
20 //   - It can share the RELRO section between two libraries
21 //     loaded at the same address in two distinct processes.
