Option for increasing rom size

[DrRamm]

By default IDA suggest ROM size as Loading size, but it's not good. Better increase ROM size for handling virtual values, which in case ROM == Loading show as red. Increasing ROM size will help to get rid of that.

Hello,

vmlinux-to-elf does not create a "ROM section", but rather a .bss section (made of empty bytes) of fixed size in the generated ELF file. See: https://github.com/marin-m/vmlinux-to-elf/blob/d7f926d/vmlinux_to_elf/elf_symbolizer.py#L84

By default, this section starts right after a .kernel section (which contains the code and initialized data of the kernel, from the input file), and is of a size of 0x100000 (1 MB).

Can you please specify more the case that you encountered:

• Did you encounter references to data whose the addressing was located far outside of the .kernel and .bss sections, or
• Did you encounter references to data that was located somewhat after the end of the automatically created .bss section?

Using a command such as readelf -aW or objdump -x over the generated ELF file may be useful to you to analyze the layout of the generated file.

Thank you,
