Not caused by this patch, but why don't we have something like a
pud_user_exec() check here like we do for the pte and pmd levels?
As far as I know, there is no user use the user executable pud on arm64, so didn't define pud_user_exec().
I can believe they don't get exposed to userspace at all, but exposing only
as non-executable doesn't sound right. So I would have thought that either
pud_user_accessible_page() would always return false or it would need to
check for the executable case too.
Thanks for your advice, I will add the check for the executable case too.
