There are many GNU extensions in GCC, binutils and glibc. Some of
them are
PT_GNU_EH_FRAME
STT_GNU_IFUNC
PT_GNU_STACK
PT_GNU_RELRO
SHT_GNU_INCREMENTAL_INPUTS
SHT_GNU_ATTRIBUTES
SHT_GNU_HASH
SHT_GNU_LIBLIST
SHT_GNU_verdef
SHT_GNU_verneed
SHT_GNU_versym
STB_GNU_UNIQUE
DT_GNU_PRELINKED
DT_GNU_CONFLICTSZ
DT_GNU_LIBLISTSZ
DT_GNU_HASH
DT_GNU_CONFLICT
DT_GNU_LIBLIST
DT_RELCOUNT
DT_RELACOUNT
.note.ABI-tag
.note.GNU-stack
Most of their documentations are with the source codes or spread over
multiple email messages in various mailing list archives. There is no
central place to look them up. I documented 2 of them:
PT_GNU_EH_FRAME
STT_GNU_IFUNC
and put them at
https://github.com/hjl-tools/linux-abi
Is there a git repo I can use on sourceware.org?
