=== Add support for memfd_secret file descriptors ===
 +
 +
'''Summary:''' Support C/R of memfd_secret descriptors
 +
 +
There is memfd_secret syscall which allows user to open
 +
special memfd which is backed by special memory range which
 +
is inaccessible by another processes (and the kernel too!).
 +
 +
At the moment CRIU can't dump processes that have memfd_secret's opened.

=== Forensic analysis of container checkpoints ===
 +
 +
'''Summary:''' Extending go-crit with capabilities for forensic analysis
 +
 +
'''Merged:''' https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/checkpointctl
 +
 +
The go-crit tool was created during GSoC 2022 to enable analysis of CRIU [[images]] with tools written in Go. It allows container management tools such as [https://github.com/checkpoint-restore/checkpointctl checkpointctl] and Podman to provide capabilities similar to CRIT. The goal of this project is to extend go-crit with functionality for forensic analysis of container checkpoints to provide a better user experience.
 +
 +
The go-crit tool is still in its early stages of development. To effectively utilise this new feature, the checkpointctl tool would be extended to display information about the processes included in a container checkpoint and their runtime state (e.g., memory, open files, sockets, etc).

'''Summary:''' While sparse ghost files were in part supported for quiet some time, we still was not able to handle big sparse ghost files and highly fragmented sparse ghost files effectively.
