篇首语：本文由小常识网(cha138.com)小编为大家整理，主要介绍了使用readelf和objdump解析目标文件 ***相关的知识，希望对你有一定的参考价值。

引言

本文是对程序员的自我修养：链接、装载与库中第3章的实践总结(和结构相关的示意图都是用Gliffy Diagrams画的??)，通过使用工具readelf、objdump对目标文件进行解析，学习目标文件的结构。

1. 目标文件

1.1 目标文件的定义

编译器编译源代码后生成的文件叫做目标文件。在Linux下，使用gcc -c xxxx.c编译生成.o文件。

1.2 编译过程回顾

编译过程

目标文件的文件类型为ELF，在Linux下对应文件后缀为.o的文件，Window下对应文件后缀为.obj的文件。使用file命令可以查看到.o和.obj文件均为ELF类型。

[email protected]:~/work/elf$ file simple.o
simple.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

[email protected]:~/work/elf$ file mp4_player.obj 
mp4_player.obj: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

目标文件只是ELF文件的可重定位文件(Relocatable file)，ELF文件一共有4种类型：Relocatable file、Executable file、Shared object file和Core Dump file

ELF文件类型

  • 示例

在Linux下，使用命令 gcc -c xxxx.c就可以编译生成.o文件

 

[email protected]:~/work/elf$ gcc -c simple.c 
[email protected]:~/work/elf$ ls
simple.c  simple.o

在 simple.c中，我们只加入了下面这一个函数fun，函数内容为空

void fun()
{

}

 

使用UltraEdit将simple.o打开，里面的内容有机器指令代码、数据等，我们的程序就是由这些字节组成的。对于程序员来说，使用高级语言(C/C++，Java等)实现的代码是最容易阅读和理解的，但是对于计算机来说，它只懂得机器语言，它更喜欢二进制，将0转换为低电平，1转换成高电平，这样一个程序就可以跑起来了。

我们可以使用工具readelf 和objdump对目标文件simple.o进行分析。为了加深对目标文件的理解，在使用readelf & objdump进行前，需要先要了解ELF文件的结构。

ELF文件结构

和class文件类似，ELF文件存放数据的格式也是固定的，计算机在解析目标文件时，就是按照它每个字段的数据结构进行逐字解析的。ELF文件结构信息定义在/usr/include/elf.h中，整个ELF文件的结构如下图：

ELF文件的结构

  • ELF Header

ELF Header是ELF文件的第一部分，64 bit的ELF文件头的结构体如下：

typedef struct
{
  unsigned char e_ident[EI_NIDENT]; /* Magic number and other info */
  Elf64_Half    e_type;         /* Object file type */
  Elf64_Half    e_machine;      /* Architecture */
  Elf64_Word    e_version;      /* Object file version */
  Elf64_Addr    e_entry;        /* Entry point virtual address */
  Elf64_Off e_phoff;        /* Program header table file offset */
  Elf64_Off e_shoff;        /* Section header table file offset */
  Elf64_Word    e_flags;        /* Processor-specific flags */
  Elf64_Half    e_ehsize;       /* ELF header size in bytes */
  Elf64_Half    e_phentsize;        /* Program header table entry size */
  Elf64_Half    e_phnum;        /* Program header table entry count */
  Elf64_Half    e_shentsize;        /* Section header table entry size */
  Elf64_Half    e_shnum;        /* Section header table entry count */
  Elf64_Half    e_shstrndx;     /* Section header string table index */
} Elf64_Ehdr;

 

接下来我们会使用到第一个分析目标文件的工具readelf，通过man readelf命令，我们可以查到readelf的作用就是用来显示ELF文件的信息

DESCRIPTION
   readelf displays information about one or more ELF format object files.

使用readelf -h simple.o来进行对Header的解析，通过man readelf命令同样可以查询到对-h参数的说明，
-h用来显示ELF header的相关信息。

OPTIONS
   -h
   --file-header
       Displays the information contained in the ELF header at the start of the file.

Header中主要存放的是一些基本信息，通过Header中的信息，我们可以确定后面其他字段的大小和起始地址，通常比较关心的部分是：ELF文件类型、是32bit还是64bit、Header部分大小、Section部分大小和拥有Section的个数等。

结合Elf64_Ehdr来看，对应解析结果如下：

readelf -h simple.o

  • Section

完成了对Header的解析，再接着分析Section部分，Section对应结构体如下：

typedef struct
{
  Elf64_Word  sh_name;    /* Section name (string tbl index) */
  Elf64_Word  sh_type;    /* Section type */
  Elf64_Xword sh_flags;   /* Section flags */
  Elf64_Addr  sh_addr;    /* Section virtual addr at execution */
  Elf64_Off sh_offset;    /* Section file offset */
  Elf64_Xword sh_size;    /* Section size in bytes */
  Elf64_Word  sh_link;    /* Link to another section */
  Elf64_Word  sh_info;    /* Additional section information */
  Elf64_Xword sh_addralign;   /* Section alignment */
  Elf64_Xword sh_entsize;   /* Entry size if section holds table */
} Elf64_Shdr;

 

Section部分主要存放的是机器指令代码和数据，执行命令readelf -S -W simple.o对Section部分的解析，解析结果和Elf64_Shdr也是一一对应的。

[email protected]:~/work/elf$ readelf -S -W simple.o
There are 11 section headers, starting at offset 0x108:

Key to Flags:
  W (write), A (alloc), X (execute), M (merge), S (strings), l (large)
  I (info), L (link order), G (group), T (TLS), E (exclude), x (unknown)
  O (extra OS processing required) o (OS specific), p (processor specific)

对于这部分内容，通常我们比较的Section是.text（存放代码）、.data（存放全局静态变量和局部静态变量）和.bss（存未初始化的全局变量和局部静态变量） ，在后面会对这几个段分别分进行解析。

根据readelf -S -W simple.o的输出结果，我们可以算出整个simple.o的组成部分和起始地址，使用ls -l 命令查看simple.o的大小，和simple.o结束地址0x0000048c是吻合的。

simple.o组成

解析目标文件

分析完ELF文件结构，接着来解析一个目标文件。首先，准备好源码SimpleSection.c，执行命令gcc -c SimpleSection.c生成目标文件SimpleSection.o。

int printf(const char* format, ...);

int global_init_var = 84;
int global_uninit_var;

void func1(int i)
{
    printf("%d\n", i);
}

int main(void)
{
    static int static_var = 85;
    static int static_var2;

    int a = 1;
    int b;
    func1(static_var + static_var2 + a + b);
    return 0;
}

在这部分，我们会使用另外一个命令objdump，使用man objdump查看该命令，objdump是用来显示目标文件相关信息的。

DESCRIPTION
   objdump displays information about one or more object files.

  • 查看目标文件的Section

执行命令objdump -h SimpleSection.o对Section部分进行解析，我们可以得到每个段的大小

[email protected]:~/work/elf$ objdump -h SimpleSection.o

SimpleSection.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

Sections:

我们的代码是存放到.text中，已初始化全局变量和局部静态变量存放在.data中，未初始化全局变量和局部静态变量存放在.bss中

程序与目标文件对应关系

  • 代码段

执行命令objdump -s -d SimpleSection.o对代码段(.text)的解析结果如下：

.text

  • 数据段和只读数据段

执行命令objdump -s -d SimpleSection.o对数据段和只读数据段解析结果如下：

.data & .rodata

  • BSS段

执行命令objdump -x -s -d SimpleSection.o打印出目标文件的符号表，通过符号表我们可以知道各个变量的存放位置，只有未初始化的局部静态变量static_var2被放到了.bss段，而global_uninit_var被放入了comment段

.bss

另外，被初始化为0的静态变量也会被放入.bss段，因为未初始变量的值也是0，经过优化后被放入.bss段，这样可以节省磁盘空间，因为.bss不占磁盘空间

例如，下面的代码中x1会被放入.bss段，而x2被放入.data段

static int x1 = 0;
static int x2 = 12;

初始值为0的静态变量会被放进.bss
