Hi Russell and Angelo,

Please use the following patch to see if the problem still exists.
Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/1] memory: Fix export symbol twice compiler error
for
 "export symbols for memory related functions" patch

User could not add the export symbol "arch_vma_name"
in arch/arm/kernel/process.c and kernel/signal.c both.
It would cause the export symbol twice compiler error
