vfs: syscall: Add fsmount() to create a mount for a superblock
Provide a system call by which a filesystem opened with fsopen() and
configured by a series of fsconfig() calls can have a detached mount object
created for it. This mount object can then be attached to the VFS mount
hierarchy using move_mount() by passing the returned file descriptor as the
from directory fd.
The system call looks like:
int mfd = fsmount(int fsfd, unsigned int flags,
unsigned int attr_flags);
where fsfd is the file descriptor returned by fsopen(). flags can be 0 or
FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC. attr_flags is a bitwise-OR of the following flags:
MOUNT_ATTR_RDONLY Mount read-only
MOUNT_ATTR_NOSUID Ignore suid and sgid bits
MOUNT_ATTR_NODEV Disallow access to device special files
MOUNT_ATTR_NOEXEC Disallow program execution
MOUNT_ATTR__ATIME Setting on how atime should be updated
MOUNT_ATTR_RELATIME - Update atime relative to mtime/ctime
MOUNT_ATTR_NOATIME - Do not update access times
MOUNT_ATTR_STRICTATIME - Always perform atime updates
MOUNT_ATTR_NODIRATIME Do not update directory access times
In the event that fsmount() fails, it may be possible to get an error
message by calling read() on fsfd. If no message is available, ENODATA
will be reported.
