CM

rebase on CyanogenMod

Preparation

• Get android/Cyanogenmod tree and setup devel env

https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Build_for_hammerhead

• Once initial build passes, flash $OUT/cm-....zip file with $OUT/recovery.img
• Verify CM works

---

Modify kernel to support all the features

 CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE=y
 CONFIG_CPUSETS=y
 CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y
 CONFIG_CGROUP_PERF=y
 CONFIG_UTS_NS=y
 CONFIG_IPC_NS=y
 CONFIG_USER_NS=y
 CONFIG_PID_NS=y
 CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y

These are bare minimum to support containers, more can be required when we do further work

once patched kernel config,

$ breakfast hammerhead
including vendor/cm/vendorsetup.sh

$ mka bootimage

• Once done, flash $OUT/boot.img and verify if it works

Stripping CM to bare minimum

• Android provides embedded.mk file to setup really minimal android system

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/build/+/master/target/product/embedded.mk

• Adapt make files in device/lge/hammerhead to extend this instead of full-fleged phone system

• And finally

$ brunch hammerhead

Get lxc

https://jenkins.linuxcontainers.org/view/LXC/view/LXC%20builds/job/lxc-build-android/

deploy it to /data

Create lxc container for pm rootfs

http://mobile.neon.pangea.pub:8080/job/img_phone_xenial_armhf/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/result/livecd..rootfs.tar.gz

• Create /data/lxc/containers/system/rootfs/ dir

• Extract livecd..rootfs.tar.gz in /data/lxc/containers/system/rootfs/ dir

• Create lxc config

root@hammerhead:/ # cat /data/lxc/containers/system/config
lxc.rootfs = /data/lxc/containers/system/rootfs
lxc.utsname = armhf

lxc.network.type = none

lxc.devttydir = lxc
lxc.pts = 1024
lxc.arch = armhf

lxc.kmsg = 0
lxc.mount.entry = /dev dev/ none bind,optional,create=dir
lxc.mount.entry = /system system/ none bind,optional,create=dir
lxc.mount.entry = /vendor vendor/ none bind,optional,create=dir

• Mount systemd and freezer cgroups

mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/
busybox mount -n -t cgroup -o none,name=systemd cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd/
mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/
busybox mount -n -t cgroup -o none,name=freezer cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/freezer/

ROOTFS=/data/lxc/containers/system/rootfs
for i in $(busybox awk '!/^#/ { if ($4 == 1) print $1 }' /proc/cgroups); do
    if ! grep -q " $ROOTFS/$i " /proc/mounts; then
        mkdir -p $ROOTFS/$i
        busybox mount -n -t cgroup -o $i cgroup $ROOTFS/$i
    fi
done

Then start container

export PATH=/data/lxc/lxc/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/data/lxc/lxc/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
root@hammerhead:/data/lxc/lxc # lxc-start -n system -F
 * Setting up X socket directories...
    ...done.

1. modify 65-android.rules udev rule as mentioned
2. sudo service udev start

4. sudo service lightdm start

• To start plasma-phone

sudo service lightdm start

Bug: LXC container doesn't allow to console in 2nd time

lxc-android-boot from lxc-android-config adds mount point for system and data partitions, however this breaks 2nd boot. To workaround,

after rebooting

adb root
adb shell
rm /data/lxc/containers/system/rootfs/etc/init/lxc-android-boot.conf
vi /data/lxc/containers/system/rootfs/etc/fstab

remove the all mount points that says added by lxc-android-boot except one with /vendor

reboot phone
