Key to Flags:
W (write), A (alloc), X (execute), M (merge), S (strings)
I (info), L (link order), G (group), x (unknown)
O (extra OS processing required) o (OS specific), p (processor specific)
after the patch, it seems .data section size still have 8 bytes.
before that will 0x28.
don't know what are the 8 bytes.
