The security_sb_copy_data LSM hook allows LSMs to copy custom string
name/value args passed to mount_fs() into a temporary buffer (called
"secdata") that will be accessible to LSM code during the
security_sb_kern_mount hook further down in mount_fs(). Currently,
SELinux effectively prevents any other LSMs from copying custom mount
args into the temporary buffer (and being able to access them during
security_sb_kern_mount), as it will fail with -EINVAL and print
"SELinux:  unknown mount option" to the kernel message buffer if args it
doesn't recognize are present in the temporary buffer when
selinux_sb_kern_mount is called. This change adds an arg to the list of
those accepted by SELinux during security_sb_kern_mount. SELinux won't
do anything with this arg besides allow the name/value pair to be passed
along to any other LSM that is stacked after SELinux.

Developed on v4.18.

This needs to be generalized. Whatever security module you're
working on won't stack with any other module that uses mount
options, Smack in particular. Have you looked at the patch I've
been proposing as part of the general stacking work?
