[Barrelfish-users] .data section overlapping .text

[Zeus Gómez Marmolejo]

Hi,

I've seen that all executables compiled for x86_64 have the -section-start .
data.rel.ro=0x600000 for the linker.

I just activated all debug and trace capabilities of Gasnet and surprisingly
the text section starting on 0x400000 goes beyond 0x600000, so the linker
complains with the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: section .data.rel.ro loaded at
[0000000000600000,0000000000601077] overlaps section .text loaded at
[0000000000400160,000000000064d8a7]

Do you need the data section to be placed at 0x600000 ? Why is that? Can't
the loader just read it from the ELF header?


Many thanks,
