Re: [Xen-devel] ELF .note BSD_SYMTAB

Hello. After reading through some of the
libelf-loader.c and
libelf-dominfo.c code, it appears that Xen expects BSD guest
kernels
to have an ELF .note auxillary entry of type
XEN_ELFNOTE_BSD_SYMTAB
that gets parsed in so that Xen knows to allocate room for the
kernels
symbol table. I do not see this Note (Or any note segment/section)
in
my freebsd guest kernel image (readelf -n). Can someone explain to
me
if this Note is still used? If so, then in what case?
There is no expectation persay. Merely alternative actions taken if
found.
I seem to recall (or I might be completely confused), it is a
somewhat legacy NetBSDism, so I would not be at all surprised if
modern FreeBSD doesn't use it.
