Hi Russell,

We did confirm that it can be built successfully in kernel 6.1 and run
well in our system.

Actually, we only use this export symbol "arch_vma_name"
from kernel/signal.c in arm64. We also export symbol for arch_vma_name
in arch/arm/kernel/process.c because that, one day in the future,  we
are afraid that we also need this function in arm platform.

Thanks.

Regards,

Jim
