Major features are not availaible on IA64, AMD64, PPC, PARISC, and ARM architectures

[thorkill]

THe major features of the ELF shell and the Embedded ELF Debugger are not available on a variety of interesting architectures, including ARM (ARM7 and ARM9), AMD64, IA64, PPC (32 and 64 bits), and PA-RISC (by order of priority).

Those features are independant of the cores and can be implemented using vector hooks. The list of vector hooks to be implemented are :

For elfsh:

• ET_REL injection
• ALTPLT redirection
• CFLOW redirection
• ENCODEPLT and ENCODEPLT1 hooks
• EXTPLT relinking

For the debugger :

• The 8 very small debugger hooks (GETPC, GETFP, NEXTFP, GETRET, GETREGS, SETREGS, SETSTEP, RESETSTEP)
• The breakpoint hook
• The backtrace hook

For the tracer :

• ARGCOUNT hook

All those hooks are independant and can be implemented in any order (except ENCODEPLT / ENCODEPLT1 on which EXTPLT is depending, and GETFP/NEXTFP/GETRET on which BACKTRACE is depending)
