A. Cody Schuffelen 97dff044f8 Replace #[cfg(unix)] with #[cfg(any(target_os = "android", target_os = "linux"))]
Updates are made to source and documentation.

This more accurately represents the currently supported platforms of
Android/Linux and Windows, without unexpectedly including other
unix-like operating systems.

Command to reproduce:
$ find . -type f -not -path '*/\.git/*' | xargs -I {} sed -i 's/cfg(unix)/cfg(any(target_os = "android", target_os = "linux"))/g' {}
$ cargo fmt

md files manually updated to fix line lengths.

Renaming `unix` modules to `linux` will be done in a later CL.

Test: ./tools/dev_container ./tools/presubmit

Hypervisor Support

Multiple hypervisor backends are supported. See Advanced Usage for overriding the default backend.

Hypervisors added to crosvm must meet the following requirements:

  • Hypervisor code must be buildable in crosvm upstream.
    • Within reason, crosvm maintainers will ensure the hypervisor's code continues to build.
  • Hypervisors are not required to be tested upstream.
    • We can't require testing upstream because some hypervisors require specialized hardware.
    • When not tested upstream, the hypervisor's maintainers are expected to test it downstream. If a change to crosvm breaks something downstream, then the hypervisor's maintainers are expected to supply the fix and can't expect a revert of the culprit change to be accepted upstream.

KVM

  • Platforms: Linux
  • Tested upstream: yes

KVM is crosvm's preferred hypervisor for Linux.

Android Specific

The hypervisors in this section are used as backends of the Android Virtualization Framework.
