How Linux executes binaries: ELF and dynamic linking explained

After 25 years working with Linux internals I wrote this article. It's a deep dive into how Linux executes binaries, focusing on ELF internals and dynamic linking. Covers GOT/PLT, relocations, and what actually happens at runtime (memory mappings, syscalls, dynamic loader). Happy to discuss or clarify any part. submitted by /u/Solid-Film-818 [link] [comments]
