I've lived through several checkpointing implementations. You've got the easy
part. Applications must participate or such a facility has very limited
usefulness. Delivering a signal is only part of the problem; there tend to
be issues synchronizing user-mode checkpoint of application state with the
kernel's desired to stop the process and squirrel away state.
There's lots of stuff published about this; check the literature.
