Hi fellow developers, I am new to Android and trying to understand how Android authors have decided the size of prelinked libraries mentioned in prelink-linux-arm.map file.
For example, in prelink map file: -- libcrypto.so 0xAF000000 # [~4M] -- However, the size of the same indicated by objdump is: -- [LINKED$]$ arm-eabi-size libcrypto.so text data bss dec hex filename 640830 71432 8320 720582 afec6 libcrypto.so -- When checking the virtual memory map of a process using /proc/<pid>/maps file of a process using libcrypto - just the text and data sections show up there. The size of these sections is less than 1M - so why do we reserve 4M in prelink map for the same? How is the 4M value for this example derived?
