Android, start valgrind permission denied when launched under logwrapper

I'm trying to use valgrind on android, and have some problems. When I launch app under valgrind I got following errors(in logcat):

         logwrapper  W  type=1400 audit(0.0:73): avc: denied { execute } for name="start_valgrind.sh" dev="dm-1" ino=654102 scontext=u:r:untrusted_app:s0:c512,c768 tcontext=u:object_r:system_data_file:s0 tcla ss=file permissive=0

                     E  executing /data/local/start_valgrind.sh failed: Permission denied
  start_valgrind.sh  I  executing /data/local/start_valgrind.sh failed: Permission denied
                     I  start_valgrind.sh terminated by exit(255)

Preconditions:

  1. I builded valgring valgrind-3.13.0 on my machine and push it on rooted nexus 6P, 8.1.0 OS. (I also used emulator 8.0 + valgrind-3.11.0 - same effect)
  2. I set prop adb shell setprop wrap.$PACKAGE \"logwrapper /data/local/start_valgrind.sh\" (start_valgrinds.sh script from below link)
  3. I used instructions from here https://stackoverflow.com/a/19235439/313113 .
  4. I did chmod -R 777 /data/local/Inst/ (location for valgrind bin).
  5. I did chmod 777 /data/local/start_valgrind.sh (start script, see 2 item)
  6. I launched app like that: adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n $PACKAGE/.MainActivity
  7. I use Hello world native JNI app.

Maybe problem that logwrapper can not start script /data/local/start_valgrind.sh due to that fact that it does not have enouph permissions, but how to add those permissions.?

The logwrapper can't execute the shell script as it has SELinux permission issue. Try to disable teh SELinux enforcement with below command setenforce 0

Try to move start_valgrind.sh to /system/bin and set mode 755
