I've managed to write a wrapper for all globals within blob and using objcopy --localize-symbols,--redefine-symbols, I rename symbols, making code within blob call my function instead of kernel one, and then I can run kernel function there. But now I need to replace a function within a blob, which is called not only externally, but also internally. Is it possible, at all? If yes, how could I achieve my target? Source code to blob is lost long ago. Architecture is MIPS, object format is ELF, unrelocated. I use binutils-2.17 there.
If it can be done, I think it can be done with --wrap. That said, it might not be possible: External_fred: ... ; don't return yet External_greg: ... RET Overriding one without overriding the other might be difficult. Can you ascertain whether there are external references not preceeded by returns? It's even worse if someone does arithmetic on code addresses.
