Thank you for updates! Looks good.
Overall, it is a great job!

Nit: There is the test library function `get_method_name()` in 
`jvmti_common.hpp` that can be used here.
Also, the `methodName` is better to deallocate with the `deallocate() function.
The same is in the `VirtualThreadMount` callback.
