memory allocation are three types: a. stack allocation. b. dynamic heap-based - using api like malloc()....and this happened in the heap area....depending on ELF loading and architecture-specific. c. static memory - this is purely embedded inside the ELF file, so during loading it just got mapped into memory. No allocation is needed, but it will follow the ELF file-format. Eg, if u create several sections inside the ELF file, each of these section will get a page for itself in the loaded memory.
