/proc won't mount in kali linux running under Android

Question

I'm now using kali Linux on termux. I had several problems like /proc is not mounted, /proc permission denied, etc.

ps -auxtells this:

> root@localhost:~# ps -aux
> 
> Error: /proc must be mounted
  To mount /proc at boot you need an /etc/fstab line like:
      proc   /proc   proc    defaults
  In the meantime, run "mount proc /proc -t proc"

Then I type mount proc /proc - t proc and this happens:

> root@localhost:~# mount proc /proc - t proc
> 
> Blockquotemount: /proc: mount(2) system call failed: Function not implemented.

I've also tried this too pgrep lxcfs | xargs ps -f -p. But nothing happens just this:

A normal user account under Android is not allowed to mount anything anywhere, that would be a major security breach of the Android process isolation model.

This question should be asked somewhere else, e.g. https://android.stackexchange.com/ or https://forum.xda-developers.com/

You could root your device or use a VM (in case root is not available or you don't want to root). Here are some of the VMs I've found but I haven't tested any:
