Refuse to load non-EXEC/non-RISC-V/non-V1 ELFs (#388)
Stricter validation of ELF binaries improves usability with informative assertions. This prevents users from loading ELF relocatable files and binaries compiled for their (non-RISC-V) workstations, for example. Without this patch, spike would attempt to load nearly any ELF given, but it would usually fail with an error about debug module accesses, since the given ELF causes accesses in the debug module's memory space. Even if spike successfully loaded the ELF file, it would still misbehave during simulation, for example in the case of ELF relocatable files. ELF magic numbers come from official ELF documents: TIS ELF spec v1.2, via Linux Foundation Referenced Specifications See: https://refspecs.linuxbase.org/ RISC-V magic number comes from official RISC-V ELF documents: See: riscv/riscv-elf-psabi-doc@60c25981b62c0b43d16142f8a12c8b1e98e60d4d
