Some new helpers will be needed for pud entry updates soon. Introduce
these helpers by referencing the pmd ones. Namely:
- pudp_invalidate(): this helper invalidates a huge pud before a
split happens, so that the invalidated pud entry will make sure no
race will happen (either with software, like a concurrent zap, or
hardware, like a/d bit lost).
- pud_modify(): this helper applies a new pgprot to an existing huge
pud mapping.
For more information on why we need these two helpers, please refer to the
corresponding pmd helpers in the mprotect() code path.
When at it, simplify the pud_modify()/pmd_modify() comments on shadow
stack pgtable entries to reference pte_modify() to avoid duplicating the
whole paragraph three times.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
