Do different sections of libc (such as .text, .plt, .got, .bss, .rodata, and others) get loaded at the same offset relative to the libc base address every time?
I know the loader loads libc at a random location every time I run my program.
Thank you in advance.
I guess I found the answer to my own question. I wrote a pin-tool using Intel PIN that on every libc section get loaded outputs the section offset relative to the address of libc. Here are the sections having get loaded at same offsets with their corresponding offsets (the thing before - is the library name which is libc with its version and what comes after that is the section name):

And there are indeed sections that get loaded at different offsets every time. You may see them in below. However, as I do not recognize them and to me not important, I would like to conclude that yes the sections we most concern about get loaded at the same offset each time the program runs.
