Any thoughts on how you would _like_ to see this resolved?
Ideally, CRIU will need a knob that will tell the kernel/CET machinery
where the next RET will jump, along the lines of
restore_signal_shadow_stack() AFAIU.

But such a knob will immediately reduce the security value of the entire
thing, and I don't have good ideas how to deal with it :(
Probably a kind of latch in the task_struct which would trigger off once
returt to a different address happened, thus we would be able to jump inside
paratite code. Of course such trigger should be available under proper
capability only.
