The way the arm64 kernel virtual address space is constructed guarantees that swapper PGD entries are never shared between the linear region on the one hand, and the vmalloc region on the other, which is where all kernel text, module text and BPF text mappings reside. This means that mappings in the linear region (which never require executable permissions) never share any table entries at any level with mappings that do require executable permissions, and so we can set the table-level PXN attributes for all table entries that are created while setting up mappings in the linear region. Since swapper's PGD level page table is mapped r/o itself, this adds another layer of robustness to the way the kernel manages its own page tables. While at it, set the UXN attribute as well for all kernel mappings created at boot.
