``

``
So you can modify source, rebuild and that's it, its in the VM.
E.g., let's hack the linux kernel:
``
asmlinkage __visible void __init __no_sanitize_address start_kernel(void)
{
pr_info("I'VE HACKED THE LINUX KERNEL!!!");
``
Rebuild Linux:
``
./build-linux
``
Rerun:
``
./run
``
And after boot we see:
``
