2023-11-07linux: Add PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME supportAdhemerval Zanella
Linux 5.17 added support to naming anonymous virtual memory areas through the prctl syscall. The __set_vma_name is a wrapper to avoid optimizing the prctl call if the kernel does not support it. If the kernel does not support PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, prctl returns EINVAL. And it also returns the same error for an invalid argument. Since it is an internal-only API, it assumes well-formatted input: aligned START, with (START, START+LEN) being a valid memory range, and NAME with a limit of 80 characters without an invalid one ("\\`$[]").
