The purpose of the child process is to enable an extra layer of isolation between the emulated devices, which have to deal with much more untrusted guest memory, and the main process which has access to the kernel's KVM ioctls.

Chrome OS KVM
This component, known as crosvm, runs untrusted operating systems along with virtualized devices. No actual hardware is emulated. This only runs VMs through the Linux's KVM interface. What makes crosvm unique is a focus on safety within the programming language and a sandbox around the virtual devices to protect the kernel from attack in case of an exploit in the devices.
Overview
The crosvm source code is organized into crates, each with their own unit tests. These crates are:
kvm-sys
low-level (mostly) auto-generated structures and constants for using KVMkvm
unsafe, low-level wrapper code for using kvm-syscrosvm
the top-level binary front-end for using crosvm
Usage
Currently there is no front-end, so the best you can do is run cargo test
in
each crate.
