The ARMv8 architecture allows execute-only user permissions by clearing
the PTE_UXN and PTE_USER bits. The kernel, however, can still access
such page, so execute-only page permission does not protect against
read(2)/write(2) etc. accesses. Systems requiring such protection must
implement/enable features like SECCOMP.
This patch changes the arm64 __P100 and __S100 protection_map[] macros
to the new __PAGE_EXECONLY attributes. A side effect is that
pte_valid_user() no longer triggers for __PAGE_EXECONLY since PTE_USER
isn't set. To work around this, the check is done on the PTE_NG bit via
the pte_valid_ng() macro. VM_READ is also checked now for page faults.
