CLI/opt/--allow-uprobes

Revision as of 12:44, 7 October 2025 by Radostin (talk | contribs)

The --allow-uprobes command-line option allows CRIU to checkpoint and restore processes that have (or once had) a kernel-created uprobes VMA (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.
