962306a36Sopenharmony_ci
1062306a36Sopenharmony_ci"First" program header is the one with the smallest offset in the file:
1162306a36Sopenharmony_cie_phoff.
1262306a36Sopenharmony_ci
1362306a36Sopenharmony_ci"Last" program header is the one with the biggest offset in the file:
1462306a36Sopenharmony_cie_phoff + (e_phnum - 1) * sizeof(Elf_Phdr).

1762306a36Sopenharmony_ci=========
1862306a36Sopenharmony_ci
1962306a36Sopenharmony_ciFirst PT_INTERP program header is used to locate the filename of ELF
2062306a36Sopenharmony_ciinterpreter. Other PT_INTERP headers are ignored (since Linux 2.4.11).

2362306a36Sopenharmony_ci============
2462306a36Sopenharmony_ci
2562306a36Sopenharmony_ciLast PT_GNU_STACK program header defines userspace stack executability
2662306a36Sopenharmony_ci(since Linux 2.6.6). Other PT_GNU_STACK headers are ignored.

2962306a36Sopenharmony_ci===============
3062306a36Sopenharmony_ci
3162306a36Sopenharmony_ciELF interpreter's last PT_GNU_PROPERTY program header is used (since
3262306a36Sopenharmony_ciLinux 5.8). If interpreter doesn't have one, then the last PT_GNU_PROPERTY
3362306a36Sopenharmony_ciprogram header of an executable is used. Other PT_GNU_PROPERTY headers
3462306a36Sopenharmony_ciare ignored.
