The elfutils-libs package contains libraries which implement DWARF, ELF, and machine-specific ELF handling and process introspection. These libraries are used by the programs in the elfutils package. The elfutils-devel package enables building other programs using these libraries.

The elfutils-libelf package provides a DSO which allows reading and writing ELF files on a high level. Third party programs depend on this package to read internals of ELF files. The programs of the elfutils package use it also to generate new ELF files.
The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. These APIs include such foundational facilities as open, read, write, malloc, printf, getaddrinfo, dlopen, pthread_create, crypt, login, exit and more.
kexec-tools provides /sbin/kexec binary that facilitates a new kernel to boot using the kernel's kexec feature either on a normal or a panic reboot. This package contains the /sbin/kexec binary and ancillary utilities that together form the userspace component of the kernel's kexec feature.
A set of basic GNU tools commonly used in shell scripts
These are the GNU core utilities. This package is the combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.
dracut module to build an initramfs with most files in a squashfs image
This package provides a dracut module to build an initramfs, but store most files in a squashfs image, result in a smaller initramfs size and reduce runtime memory usage.
dracut contains tools to create bootable initramfses for the Linux kernel. Unlike previous implementations, dracut hard-codes as little as possible into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which are driven by the event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as NFS, iSCSI, NBD, FCoE with the dracut-network package.
systemd is a system and service manager that runs as PID 1 and starts the rest of the system.
Rule-based device node and kernel event manager
This package contains systemd-udev and the rules and hardware database needed to manage device nodes. This package is necessary on physical machines and in virtual machines, but not in containers.
Libraries for decoding files compressed with LZMA or XZ utils.
Zlib is a free, general-purpose, not covered by any patents, lossless data-compression library for use on virtually any computer hardware and operating system. The zlib data format is itself portable across platforms.
dracut modules to build a dracut initramfs with network support
This package requires everything which is needed to build a generic all purpose initramfs with network support with dracut.
non-interactive command-line text editor
Sed is a non-interactive command-line text editor. A stream editor is used to per-form basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or input from a pipeline).
