Android application which allows you to run virtual machines on your Android device. This uses kvmtool to interact with the /dev/kvm which is built inside the app as a native library.
!! You need root access to be able to patch the SELinux policy on your device to give kvm-device access to this app. The script scripts/patch_selinux.sh can be used to patch the SELinux policy on your device.
!! Kernel cmdline patching optionaly - from fastboot to be able to enable VHE mode otherwise it will run in nVHE Protected mode which will slow down things.
Running this should put your device in VHE mode:
fastboot oem cmdline add id_aa64mmfr1.vh=1
- App returns
KVM_RUN with no memory.
This is because you are not running in VHE mode. Untrusted application have a restriction on the number of memlocks identified by RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. To overcome this, the application should be able to overwrite this limit but this would require the app to have CAP_SYS_RESOURCE capability. Another option would be for the app to run with CAP_IPC_LOCK.
- pci__init error -17
Kvmtool doesn't clean the registered MMIO devices upon restart using kvm__deregister_iotrap. This happens when you didn't kill the app after returning from a current VM session. The easiest temporary solution is just to kill the app if you want to start another VM.
