[PATCH 0/7] lsm: Replace security_sb_mount with granular mount hooks

[Song Liu <song@kernel.org>]

This series replaces the monolithic security_sb_mount() hook with
per-operation mount hooks, addressing two main issues:

1. TOCTOU: security_sb_mount() receives dev_name as a string, which
   LSMs like AppArmor and Tomoyo re-resolve via kern_path(). The new
   hooks pass pre-resolved struct path pointers where possible (bind
   mount, move mount), eliminating the double-resolution.

2. Conflation: security_sb_mount() handles bind, new mount, remount,
   move, propagation changes, and mount reconfiguration through a
   single hook, requiring LSMs to dispatch on flags internally. The
   new hooks are called at the operation level with appropriate
   context.

The new hooks are:
  mount_bind        - bind mount (pre-resolved source path)
  mount_new         - new filesystem mount (with fs_context)
  mount_remount     - filesystem remount (with fs_context)
  mount_reconfigure - mount flag reconfiguration (MS_REMOUNT|MS_BIND)
  mount_move        - move mount (pre-resolved paths)
  mount_change_type - propagation type changes

mount_new and mount_remount are called after parse_monolithic_mount_data(),
so LSMs have access to the fs_context with parsed mount options. They also
receive the original mount(2) flags and data pointer for LSMs (AppArmor,
Tomoyo) that need them for policy matching.

The series also replaces security_move_mount() with the new mount_move
hook, unifying the old mount(2) MS_MOVE path with the move_mount(2)
syscall path.

All existing LSM behaviors are preserved:
  AppArmor: same policy matching, TOCTOU fixed for bind/move
  SELinux:  same permission checks (FILE__MOUNTON, FILESYSTEM__REMOUNT)
  Landlock: same deny-all for sandboxed processes
  Tomoyo:   same policy matching, TOCTOU fixed for bind/move, unused
            data_page parameter removed


This work is inspired by earlier discussions:
