You can write a simple test. Just do mmap(MAP_GROWSDOWN) and look at
/proc/self/maps. If it reports vm_start + PAGE_SIZE rather than addr
returned by mmap, then the kernel is old.

I do not think so. criu does not need to know about the new guard area
at all. It simply doesn't exist from user-space pov.

In fact, I think this should have been true even before this change, just
stack_guard_page_start() was not accurate and this is the reason (I guess)
you had to play with stack guard; the first page (hidden by show_map_vma)
can have a valid stack data, for example if the application played with
MAP_FIXED or munmap().

So I think you should simply disable, say, unmap_guard_pages() and most
of all other MAP_GROWSDOWN code in criu.
