The --allow-uprobes command-line option allows CRIU to checkpoint and restore processes that have (or once had) a a kernel-created uprobes VMA (user-space probes virtual memory area). Since this VMA persists even after the probe is removed, CRIU cannot safely infer the probe state at checkpoint time without this option.

Note.svg Note: If a checkpoint has been created with --allow-uprobes, this option must be specified during restore and any relevant uprobes must remain active. This option does not create or manage uprobes; it only instructs CRIU to accept the presence of the corresponding VMAs.
