本文用于记录对QEMU对ELF文件加载函数进行分析。根据“函数使用->函数定义->函数实现->函数实现的分析”的顺序进行分析，最终提取出ELF文件加载的代码。
1. load_elf
mips malta中，对load_elf的使用如下：
if (load_elf(loaderparams.kernel_filename, cpu_mips_kseg0_to_phys, NULL,
(uint64_t *)&kernel_entry, NULL, (uint64_t *)&kernel_high,
big_endian, ELF_MACHINE, ) < ) {
fprintf(stderr, "qemu: could not load kernel '%s'\n",
loaderparams.kernel_filename);
exit();
}
load_elf在头文件include/hw/loader.h中，函数定义如下：
int load_elf(const char *filename, uint64_t (*translate_fn)(void *, uint64_t),
void *translate_opaque, uint64_t *pentry, uint64_t *lowaddr,
uint64_t *highaddr, int big_endian, int elf_machine,
int clear_lsb);
load_elf的具体实现在hw/core/loader.c中，函数体如下：
int load_elf(const char *filename, uint64_t (*translate_fn)(void *, uint64_t),
void *translate_opaque, uint64_t *pentry, uint64_t *lowaddr,
uint64_t *highaddr, int big_endian, int elf_machine, int clear_lsb)
{
int fd, data_order, target_data_order, must_swab, ret = ELF_LOAD_FAILED;
uint8_t e_ident[EI_NIDENT]; fd = open(filename, O_RDONLY | O_BINARY);
if (fd < ) {
perror(filename);
return -;
}
if (read(fd, e_ident, sizeof(e_ident)) != sizeof(e_ident))
goto fail;
if (e_ident[] != ELFMAG0 ||
e_ident[] != ELFMAG1 ||
e_ident[] != ELFMAG2 ||
e_ident[] != ELFMAG3) {
ret = ELF_LOAD_NOT_ELF;
goto fail;
}
#ifdef HOST_WORDS_BIGENDIAN
data_order = ELFDATA2MSB;
#else
data_order = ELFDATA2LSB;
#endif
must_swab = data_order != e_ident[EI_DATA];
if (big_endian) {
target_data_order = ELFDATA2MSB;
} else {
target_data_order = ELFDATA2LSB;
} if (target_data_order != e_ident[EI_DATA]) {
ret = ELF_LOAD_WRONG_ENDIAN;
goto fail;
} lseek(fd, , SEEK_SET);
if (e_ident[EI_CLASS] == ELFCLASS64) {
ret = load_elf64(filename, fd, translate_fn, translate_opaque, must_swab,
pentry, lowaddr, highaddr, elf_machine, clear_lsb);
} else {
ret = load_elf32(filename, fd, translate_fn, translate_opaque, must_swab,
pentry, lowaddr, highaddr, elf_machine, clear_lsb);
} fail:
close(fd);
return ret;
}
在load_elf中，对elf文件进行读取分析的核心函数为load_elf64和load_elf32，下面将把它们进行展开。
2、load_elf64/load_elf32
load_elf64和load_elf32是通过glue(load_elf, SZ)来进行定义的，所在文件include/hw/elf_ops.h，具体函数如下：
static int glue(load_elf, SZ)(const char *name, int fd,
uint64_t (*translate_fn)(void *, uint64_t),
void *translate_opaque,
int must_swab, uint64_t *pentry,
uint64_t *lowaddr, uint64_t *highaddr,
int elf_machine, int clear_lsb)
{
struct elfhdr ehdr;
struct elf_phdr *phdr = NULL, *ph;
int size, i, total_size;
elf_word mem_size, file_size;
uint64_t addr, low = (uint64_t)-, high = ;
uint8_t *data = NULL;
char label[];
int ret = ELF_LOAD_FAILED; if (read(fd, &ehdr, sizeof(ehdr)) != sizeof(ehdr))
goto fail;
if (must_swab) {
glue(bswap_ehdr, SZ)(&ehdr);
} switch (elf_machine) {
case EM_PPC64:
if (EM_PPC64 != ehdr.e_machine)
if (EM_PPC != ehdr.e_machine) {
ret = ELF_LOAD_WRONG_ARCH;
goto fail;
}
break;
case EM_X86_64:
if (EM_X86_64 != ehdr.e_machine)
if (EM_386 != ehdr.e_machine) {
ret = ELF_LOAD_WRONG_ARCH;
goto fail;
}
break;
case EM_MICROBLAZE:
if (EM_MICROBLAZE != ehdr.e_machine)
if (EM_MICROBLAZE_OLD != ehdr.e_machine) {
ret = ELF_LOAD_WRONG_ARCH;
goto fail;
}
break;
default:
if (elf_machine != ehdr.e_machine) {
ret = ELF_LOAD_WRONG_ARCH;
goto fail;
}
} if (pentry)
*pentry = (uint64_t)(elf_sword)ehdr.e_entry; glue(load_symbols, SZ)(&ehdr, fd, must_swab, clear_lsb); size = ehdr.e_phnum * sizeof(phdr[]);
if (lseek(fd, ehdr.e_phoff, SEEK_SET) != ehdr.e_phoff) {
goto fail;
}
phdr = g_malloc0(size);
if (!phdr)
goto fail;
if (read(fd, phdr, size) != size)
goto fail;
if (must_swab) {
for(i = ; i < ehdr.e_phnum; i++) {
ph = &phdr[i];
glue(bswap_phdr, SZ)(ph);
}
} total_size = ;
for(i = ; i < ehdr.e_phnum; i++) {
ph = &phdr[i];
if (ph->p_type == PT_LOAD) {
mem_size = ph->p_memsz; /* Size of the ROM */
file_size = ph->p_filesz; /* Size of the allocated data */
data = g_malloc0(file_size);
if (ph->p_filesz > ) {
if (lseek(fd, ph->p_offset, SEEK_SET) < ) {
goto fail;
}
if (read(fd, data, file_size) != file_size) {
goto fail;
}
}
/* address_offset is hack for kernel images that are
linked at the wrong physical address. */
if (translate_fn) {
addr = translate_fn(translate_opaque, ph->p_paddr);
glue(elf_reloc, SZ)(&ehdr, fd, must_swab, translate_fn,
translate_opaque, data, ph, elf_machine);
} else {
addr = ph->p_paddr;
} /* the entry pointer in the ELF header is a virtual
* address, if the text segments paddr and vaddr differ
* we need to adjust the entry */
if (pentry && !translate_fn &&
ph->p_vaddr != ph->p_paddr &&
ehdr.e_entry >= ph->p_vaddr &&
ehdr.e_entry < ph->p_vaddr + ph->p_filesz &&
ph->p_flags & PF_X) {
*pentry = ehdr.e_entry - ph->p_vaddr + ph->p_paddr;
} snprintf(label, sizeof(label), "phdr #%d: %s", i, name); /* rom_add_elf_program() seize the ownership of 'data' */
rom_add_elf_program(label, data, file_size, mem_size, addr); total_size += mem_size;
if (addr < low)
low = addr;
if ((addr + mem_size) > high)
high = addr + mem_size; data = NULL;
}
}
g_free(phdr);
if (lowaddr)
*lowaddr = (uint64_t)(elf_sword)low;
if (highaddr)
*highaddr = (uint64_t)(elf_sword)high;
return total_size;
fail:
g_free(data);
g_free(phdr);
return ret;
}
其中，glue在文件include/qemu/compiler.h中，定义如下：
#ifndef glue
#define xglue(x, y) x ## y
#define glue(x, y) xglue(x, y)
#define stringify(s) tostring(s)
#define tostring(s) #s
#endif
根据定义，我们可以知道，“glue(load_elf, SZ)”经过展开，会变成“load_elfSZ”，当SZ为32和64的时候，结果就是load_elf32和load_elf64了。
在文件hw/core/loader.c中，
#define SZ 32
#define elf_word uint32_t
#define elf_sword int32_t
#define bswapSZs bswap32s
#include "hw/elf_ops.h" #undef elfhdr
#undef elf_phdr
#undef elf_shdr
#undef elf_sym
#undef elf_rela
#undef elf_note
#undef elf_word
#undef elf_sword
#undef bswapSZs
#undef SZ
#define elfhdr elf64_hdr
#define elf_phdr elf64_phdr
#define elf_note elf64_note
#define elf_shdr elf64_shdr
#define elf_sym elf64_sym
#define elf_rela elf64_rela
#define elf_word uint64_t
#define elf_sword int64_t
#define bswapSZs bswap64s
#define SZ 64
#include "hw/elf_ops.h"
我们可以看到，loader.c在包涵elf_ops.h的时候，先对SZ等进行了宏定义。通过两次宏定义和包含，就得到了load_elf32和load_elf64。
在glue(load_elf, SZ)中，使用了以下4个函数：
glue(bswap_ehdr, SZ)(&ehdr); glue(load_symbols, SZ)(&ehdr, fd, must_swab, clear_lsb); glue(bswap_phdr, SZ)(ph); glue(elf_reloc, SZ)(&ehdr, fd, must_swab, translate_fn,
translate_opaque, data, ph, elf_machine);
它们都在文件include/hw/elf_ops.h中。elf_ops.h中的其它函数也会在解析elf文件时用到，所以我们将elf_ops.h全部贴出来

5、ELF文件格式：关于ELF文件格式的内容摘自百度百科
在计算机科学中，是一种用于二进制文件、可执行文件、目标代码、共享库和核心转储的标准文件格式。 是UNIX系统实验室（USL）作为应用程序二进制接口（Application Binary Interface，ABI）而开发和发布的，也是Linux的主要可执行文件格式。 1999年，被86open项目选为x86架构上的类Unix操作系统的二进制文件标准格式，用来取代COFF。因其可扩展性与灵活性，也可应用在其它处理器、计算机系统架构的操作系统上。
ELF文件由4部分组成，分别是ELF头（ELF header）、程序头表（Program header table）、节（Section）和节头表（Section header table）。实际上，一个文件中不一定包含全部内容，而且他们的位置也未必如同所示这样安排，只有ELF头的位置是固定的，其余各部分的位置、大小等信息有ELF头中的各项值来决定。
