|

.TP
|
||||
.B \-\-uname\-2.6
|
||||
Causes the \fIprogram\fR to see a kernel version number beginning with 2.6.
|
||||
Turns on UNAME26.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR \-v , " \-\-verbose"
|
||||
Be verbose.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-3\fR, \fB\-\-3gb\fR
|
||||
Specifies that processes should use a maximum of 3GB of address space on systems where it is supported (ADDR_LIMIT_3GB).
|
||||
Specifies
|
||||
.I program
|
||||
should use a maximum of 3GB of address space. Supported on x86. Turns on
|
||||
ADDR_LIMIT_3GB.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-\-4gb\fR
|
||||
Ignored (for backward compatibility only).
|
||||
This option has no effect. It is retained for backward compatibility only,
|
||||
and may be removed in future releases.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-B\fR, \fB\-\-32bit\fR
|
||||
Turns on ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT.
|
||||
Limit the address space to 32 bits to emulate hardware. Supported on ARM
|
||||
and Alpha. Turns on ADDR_LIMIT_32BIT.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-fdpic\-funcptrs\fR
|
||||
Userspace function pointers point to descriptors (turns on FDPIC_FUNCPTRS).
|
||||
Treat user-space function pointers to signal handlers as pointers to address
|
||||
descriptors. This option has no effect on architectures that do not support
|
||||
FDPIC ELF binaries. In kernel v4.14 support is limited to ARM, Blackfin,
|
||||
Fujitsu FR-V, and SuperH CPU architectures.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-short\-inode\fR
|
||||
Turns on SHORT_INODE.
|
||||
Obsolete bug emulation flag. Turns on SHORT_INODE.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-addr\-compat\-layout\fR
|
||||
Changes the way virtual memory is allocated (turns on the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT).
|
||||
Provide legacy virtual address space layout. Use when the
|
||||
.I program
|
||||
binary does not have PT_GNU_STACK ELF header. Turns on
|
||||
ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-addr\-no\-randomize\fR
|
||||
Disables randomization of the virtual address space (turns on ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE).
|
||||
Disables randomization of the virtual address space. Turns on
|
||||
ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-whole\-seconds\fR
|
||||
Turns on WHOLE_SECONDS.
|
||||
Obsolete bug emulation flag. Turns on WHOLE_SECONDS.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-sticky\-timeouts\fR
|
||||
Turns on STICKY_TIMEOUTS.
|
||||
This makes
|
||||
.BR select (2),
|
||||
.BR pselect (2),
|
||||
and
|
||||
.BR ppoll (2)
|
||||
system calls preserve the timeout value instead of modifying it to reflect
|
||||
the amount of time not slept when interrupted by a signal handler. Use when
|
||||
.I program
|
||||
depends on this behavior. For more details see the timeout description in
|
||||
.BR select (2)
|
||||
manual page. Turns on STICKY_TIMEOUTS.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-X\fR, \fB\-\-read\-implies\-exec\fR
|
||||
Turns on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.
|
||||
If this is set then
|
||||
.BR mmap (3)
|
||||
PROT_READ will also add the PROT_EXEC bit - as expected by legacy x86
|
||||
binaries. Notice that the ELF loader will automatically set this bit when
|
||||
it encounters a legacy binary. Turns on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-Z\fR, \fB\-\-mmap\-page\-zero\fR
|
||||
SVr4 bug emulation that will set
|
||||
.BR mmap (3)
|
||||
page zero as read-only. Use when
|
||||
.I program
|
||||
depends on this behavior, and the source code is not available to be fixed.
|
||||
Turns on MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
