+*--allow-uprobes*::
+    Allow dumping when uprobes vma is present. When used on dump, this option is
+    required on restore as well.
+
+    A uprobes vma is automatically created by the kernel once a uprobe is
+    triggered. This mapping is not removed even once the uprobe is deleted. So,
+    even if a process once had uprobes attached to it, and they're removed by
+    the time the process is dumped, this option is still required because criu
+    has no way of knowing whether there are active uprobes or not.
+
+    When using this option on restore, make sure the uprobes (if any) active on
+    the dumped processes are still active. Otherwise, when execution reaches
+    a uprobe'd location in any of the restored processes, that process will be
+    sent a SIGTRAP.
+
+    As an example, say a uprobe is set at function foo in the executable of the
+    process p_bar. Whenever execution in p_bar reaches function foo, the uprobe
+    is triggered. If the uprobe has been triggered at least once, then the kernel
+    will have created the uprobes vma. To dump p_bar, this option is
+    necessary. After dumping, say the uprobe is deleted. Now, on restoring with
+    this option, once execution reaches function foo, SIGTRAP will be sent to
+    the restored p_bar. Unless it has a signal handler installed for SIGTRAP,
+    it will be terminated and core dumped.
