ELF (Executable and Linkable Format) is a format for libraries and
executables used across different architectures and operating
systems. Saying Y here will enable your kernel to run ELF binaries
and enlarge it by about 13 KB. ELF support under Linux has now all
but replaced the traditional Linux a.out formats (QMAGIC and ZMAGIC)
because it is portable (this does *not* mean that you will be able
to run executables from different architectures or operating systems
however) and makes building run-time libraries very easy. Many new
executables are distributed solely in ELF format. You definitely
want to say Y here.
Information about ELF is contained in the ELF HOWTO available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
If you find that after upgrading from Linux kernel 1.2 and saying Y
here, you still can't run any ELF binaries (they just crash), then
you'll have to install the newest ELF runtime libraries, including
ld.so (check the file <file:Documentation/Changes> for location and
latest version).

Several architectures got those selects wrong (e.g. you could end up with sparc64 sans BINFMT_ELF, with select violating dependencies, etc.) Randy Dunlap has spotted some of those; IMO this is simpler than his fix, but it depends upon the stuff that would need to be backported, so we might end up using his variant for -stable.

binfmt_elf: allow arch code to examine PT_LOPROC ... PT_HIPROC headers MIPS is introducing new variants of its O32 ABI which differ in their handling of floating point, in order to enable a gradual transition towards a world where mips32 binaries can take advantage of new hardware features only available when configured for certain FP modes. In order to do this ELF binaries are being augmented with a new section that indicates, amongst other things, the FP mode requirements of the binary. The presence & location of such a section is indicated by a program header in the PT_LOPROC ... PT_HIPROC range. In order to allow the MIPS architecture code to examine the program header & section in question, pass all program headers in this range to an architecture-specific arch_elf_pt_proc function. This function may return an error if the header is deemed invalid or unsuitable for the system, in which case that error will be returned from load_elf_binary and upwards through the execve syscall. A means is required for the architecture code to make a decision once it is known that all such headers have been seen, but before it is too late to return from an execve syscall. For this purpose the arch_check_elf function is added, and called once, after all PT_LOPROC to PT_HIPROC headers have been passed to arch_elf_pt_proc but before the code which invoked execve has been lost. This enables the architecture code to make a decision based upon all the headers present in an ELF binary and its interpreter, as is required to forbid conflicting FP ABI requirements between an ELF & its interpreter. In order to allow data to be stored throughout the calls to the above functions, struct arch_elf_state is introduced. Finally a variant of the SET_PERSONALITY macro is introduced which accepts a pointer to the struct arch_elf_state, allowing it to act based upon state observed from the architecture specific program headers.

ELF FDPIC binaries are based on ELF, but allow the individual load
segments of a binary to be located in memory independently of each
other. This makes this format ideal for use in environments where no
MMU is available as it still permits text segments to be shared,

It is also possible to run FDPIC ELF binaries on MMU linux also.

ELF core dump files describe each memory mapping of the crashed
process, and can contain or omit the memory contents of each one.
The contents of an unmodified text mapping are omitted by default.
For an unmodified text mapping of an ELF object, including just
the first page of the file in a core dump makes it possible to
identify the build ID bits in the file, without paying the i/o
cost and disk space to dump all the text. However, versions of
GDB before 6.7 are confused by ELF core dump files in this format.
The core dump behavior can be controlled per process using
the /proc/PID/coredump_filter pseudo-file; this setting is

Say Y here if you want to execute interpreted scripts starting with
#! followed by the path to an interpreter.
You can build this support as a module; however, until that module
gets loaded, you cannot run scripts. Thus, if you want to load this
module from an initramfs, the portion of the initramfs before loading
this module must consist of compiled binaries only.
Most systems will not boot if you say M or N here. If unsure, say Y.

As a result, since MAX_SHARED_LIBS is never 0, a gap between the text and data sections always exists. For architectures which cannot support a such gap between the text and data sections (e.g. riscv nommu), flat binary programs cannot be executed. To allow an architecture to request no data start offset to allow for contiguous text and data sections for binaries flagged with FLAT_FLAG_RAM, introduce the new config option CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET. Using this new option, the macro DATA_START_OFFSET_WORDS is conditionally defined in binfmt_flat.c to MAX_SHARED_LIBS for architectures tolerating or needing the data start offset (CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET disabled case) and to 0 when CONFIG_BINFMT_FLAT_NO_DATA_START_OFFSET is enabled. DATA_START_OFFSET_WORDS is used in load_flat_file() to calculate the data section length and start position.

If you say Y here, it will be possible to plug wrapper-driven binary
formats into the kernel. You will like this especially when you use
programs that need an interpreter to run like Java, Python, .NET or
Emacs-Lisp. It's also useful if you often run DOS executables under
the Linux DOS emulator DOSEMU (read the DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>). Once you have
registered such a binary class with the kernel, you can start one of
those programs simply by typing in its name at a shell prompt; Linux
will automatically feed it to the correct interpreter.
You can do other nice things, too. Read the file
