meaning if elf section marked SHF_EXECINSTR but not SHF_ALLOC

[phi gcc <phi.gcc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

In linux module elfdump (.ko)  I see things like
Idx: 40
          Section: .note.GNU-stack
          Type:    PBIT               Flags:   ------ E---


I wonder how a section can be marked exec instruction and not to be
allocated ? I guess this has some magic meaning ?


Cheers,
Phi
