进程起始地址 linux,为什么x86 Linux程序起始地址是从0x08048000开始的？-CSDN博客

1. The load address is arbitrary, but was standardized back with SYSV for x86. It's different for every architecture. What goes above and below is also arbitrary, and is often taken up by linked in libraries and mmap() regions.2. The answer is really: a bunch of things. There is no magical meaning to the load address of the executable and pretty much anything can be mapped to the lower addresses. Common examples including: C library (such as the C library), the dynamic loader ld.so and the kernel VDSO (kernel mapped dynamic code library that provides some of the interface to the kernel in x86 Linux). But you can pretty much map anything you desire there, using the mmap() system call.

For example on my specific machine the map is as follows (acquired but "cat /proc/self/maps"):

gby@watson:~$ cat /proc/self/maps
