It took me a while, but at last I have a version of CRIU that knows how to
handle shadow stack. For the shadow stack manipulation during dump and for
the creation of the sigframe for sigreturn I used the CET ptrace patch for
5.16 (thanks H.J).

For the restore I had to add two modifications to the kernel APIs on top of
this version of the shadow stack series:

* add address parameter to map_shadow_stack() so that it'll call mmap()
with MAP_FIXED if the address is requested. This is required to restore the
shadow stack at the same address as it was at dump time.

* add ability to unlock shadow stack features using ptrace. This is
required because the current glibc (or at least in the version I used for
tests) locks shadow stack state when it loads a program. This locking means
that a process will either have shadow stack disabled without an ability to
enable it or it will have shadow stack enabled with WRSS disabled and
again, there is no way to re-enable WRSS. With that, ptrace looked like the
most sensible interface to interfere with the shadow stack locking.

I've pushed the kernel modifications here:

and CRIU modifications here:

Sincerely yours,
Mike.
