+ * @brief Load a shared object file into memory.

+ * @param module_ptr A pointer to the raw memory of the ELF file (shared object) that is being loaded.
+ * @return rt_err_t On success, it returns RT_EOK. Otherwise, it returns the error code.
+ *
+ * @note This function loads a shared object (ELF file) into memory, broken down into steps:
+ *       1. Initialization and Validation: it begins by validating the module pointer
+ *          and checking if the ELF file has been linked by comparing its magic number (RTMMAG).
+ *          If matched, the module is considered linked.
+ *       2. Calculating the ELF Image Size: it iterates over the ELF program headers to compute the total size of the ELF image
+ *          by adding the sizes of loadable segments. It also ensures there are no overlaps or invalid addresses in the segments.
+ *       3. Allocating Memory for the Module: After determining the module size, the function allocates memory (module->mem_space) for the ELF image
+ *          and initializes it to zero. Then, it copies the relevant program segments from the ELF file into this allocated memory.
+ *       4. Setting the Module Entry Point: it sets the entry point address (module->entry_addr) based on the ELF entry point adjusted by the calculated base address.
+ *       5. Handling Relocation Sections: It processes each relocation section in the ELF file.
+ *          For each relocation entry, it either resolves the symbol from the module's own symbol table
+ *          or looks up the symbol in the kernel symbol table if it was not found locally.
+ *       6. Building the Module's Symbol Table: it looks for the .dynsym section to extract global function symbols.
+ *          It creates a symbol table (module->symtab) and populates it with the function names and addresses for all global symbols of type STT_FUNC.
+ *       7. Extracting Additional Parameters: It extracts additional parameters, such as thread priority (dlmodule_thread_priority) and stack size (dlmodule_thread_stacksize),
+ *          from the symbol table and assigns them to the module if valid.

+ *          The BSS section is zeroed out, while the others are copied from the ELF image.
