Dynamic Section

If an object file participates in dynamic linking, its program header table will have an element of type PT_DYNAMIC. This segment contains the .dynamic section. A special symbol, _DYNAMIC, labels the section, which contains an array of the following structures. See sys/link.h.

typedef struct {
        Elf32_Sword d_tag;
        union {
                Elf32_Word      d_val;
                Elf32_Addr      d_ptr;
                Elf32_Off       d_off;
        } d_un;
} Elf32_Dyn;

typedef struct {
        Elf64_Xword d_tag;
        union {
                Elf64_Xword     d_val;
                Elf64_Addr      d_ptr;
        } d_un;
} Elf64_Dyn;

For each object with this type, d_tag controls the interpretation of d_un.

d_val

These objects represent integer values with various interpretations.

d_ptr

These objects represent program virtual addresses. A file's virtual addresses might not match the memory virtual addresses during execution. When interpreting addresses contained in the dynamic structure, the runtime linker computes actual addresses, based on the original file value and the memory base address. For consistency, files do not contain relocation entries to correct addresses in the dynamic structure.

In general, the value of each dynamic tag determines the interpretation of the d_un union. This convention provides for simpler interpretation of dynamic tags by third party tools. A tag whose value is an even number indicates a dynamic section entry that uses d_ptr. A tag whose value is an odd number indicates a dynamic section entry that uses d_val, or that the tag uses neither d_ptr nor d_val. Tags with values in the following special compatibility ranges do not follow these rules. Third party tools must handle these exception ranges explicitly on an item by item basis.

• Tags whose values are less than the special value DT_ENCODING.

• Tags with values that fall between DT_LOOS and DT_SUNW_ENCODING.

• Tags with values that fall between DT_HIOS and DT_LOPROC.

The following table summarizes the tag requirements for executable and shared object files. If a tag is marked mandatory, then the dynamic linking array must have an entry of that type. Likewise, optional means an entry for the tag can appear but is not required.

DT_NULL

Marks the end of the _DYNAMIC array.

DT_NEEDED

The DT_STRTAB string table offset of a null-terminated string, giving the name of a needed dependency. The dynamic array can contain multiple entries of this type. The relative order of these entries is significant, though their relation to entries of other types is not. See Shared Object Dependencies.

DT_PLTRELSZ

The total size, in bytes, of the relocation entries associated with the procedure linkage table. See Procedure Linkage Table (Processor-Specific).

DT_PLTGOT

An address associated with the procedure linkage table or the global offset table. See Procedure Linkage Table (Processor-Specific) and Global Offset Table (Processor-Specific).

DT_HASH

The address of the symbol hash table. This table refers to the symbol table indicated by the DT_SYMTAB element. See Hash Table Section.

DT_STRTAB

The address of the string table. Symbol names, dependency names, and other strings required by the runtime linker reside in this table. See String Table Section.

DT_SYMTAB

The address of the symbol table. See Symbol Table Section.

DT_RELA

The address of a relocation table. See Relocation Sections.

An object file can have multiple relocation sections. When creating the relocation table for an executable or shared object file, the link-editor catenates those sections to form a single table. Although the sections can remain independent in the object file, the runtime linker sees a single table. When the runtime linker creates the process image for an executable file or adds a shared object to the process image, the runtime linker reads the relocation table and performs the associated actions.

This element requires the DT_RELASZ and DT_RELAENT elements also be present. When relocation is mandatory for a file, either DT_RELA or DT_REL can occur.

DT_RELASZ

The total size, in bytes, of the DT_RELA relocation table.

DT_RELAENT

The size, in bytes, of the DT_RELA relocation entry.
