add_ko_file_search_support

[zt20xx]

There are so many parts related to the elf header, so I just put it at the end of the search function, which would be awesome if you had a better way to handle it.

Can you uplaod a test file where this is necessary? It looks like you're dealing with kernel modules?

Yes, I build it with v4.19.322.

Great job! I never thought of Linux modules to be honest.

IMO if this is to be useful, it should handle writable and executable as well.

Note that relocatable object files in general lack segments, but contain some sections, and all sections are offset from zero. I believe Linux modules are the only relocatable ELFs where searching is useful for hacking, so hardcoding its linking behaviour seems right (e.g. if .rodata always comes right after .text, followed by .data, aligned to one page), but it should be noted what are the absolute offsets, why, and how it uses self.address.

I think it is useful now
