Tips and tricks in debugging kernel drivers in Linux

Buildroot is an integration system used to obtain complete bootable
embedded systems; it uses a KConfig configuration mechanism (the menuconfig thing).
In this post I want to create a model field that allows to manage derived images from a pre-existing field in the same model without using the database to store the path of the derived images but to derive it from a predefined convention.
In the post about pratical approach to binary exploitation
I talked of how an executable is a memory archive describing a (future) running process. In this post
I want to study how this memory archive is loaded in memory in a Linux system, in particular
my interest will be directed upon the most used format in *nix system, i.e. the Executable and linkage
format (ELF); for other systems, different formats are used: for example the Mac OS X uses the Mach format and
the Windows OS uses the PE format. It’s reasonable to say that each platform has its own format,
and it’s the main reason of compatibility issue in running binaries between different
architectures.
I left you with a cliffhanger in a post last year and now I’ll continue the exploration in the rabbit hole I entered since.
