I created users/hjl/pr22393/master branch.  Now I got

Elf file type is DYN (Shared object file)
Entry point 0x220
There are 7 program headers, starting at offset 52

Program Headers:

 Section to Segment mapping:
  Segment Sections...
   00     .hash .gnu.hash .dynsym .dynstr .rela.plt
   01     .plt .text
   02     .rodata .eh_frame
   03     .dynamic .got.plt
   04     .dynamic
   05
   06     .dynamic

Will code page mapped from the code segment contain data?
