Aleksa Sarai <cyphar@cyphar.com> says:

It makes little sense for fsmount() to output the warning message when
mount_too_revealing() is violated to kmsg. Instead, the warning should
be output (with a "VFS" prefix) to the fscontext log. In addition,
include the same log message for mount_too_revealing() when doing a
regular mount for consistency.

With the newest fsopen()-based mount(8) from util-linux, the error
messages now look like

  # mount -t proc proc /tmp
  mount: /tmp: fsmount() failed: VFS: Mount too revealing.
 dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

which could finally result in mount_too_revealing() errors being easier
for users to detect and understand.
