Hi,

I just looked into modules-next...
The improved version is in [1]...
...and contains a file called "kernel/modsign_certificate.S" which is
NOT in the latest Linux-Next tree [2].
So, I thought about reverting the one in -next and apply the new one
from modules-next.
This is not possible!

$ git log --oneline -2
d98f244 Merge tag 'next-20130315' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next into
Linux-Next-v20130315
1765898 Add linux-next specific files for 20130315

$ LC_ALL=C ls -l kernel/mod*
-rw-r--r-- 1 wearefam wearefam   458 Mar 15 11:13 kernel/module-internal.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 wearefam wearefam 99000 Mar 15 11:13 kernel/module.c
-rw-r--r-- 1 wearefam wearefam  6063 Mar 15 11:13 kernel/module_signing.c

Is this a generated file?
I have attached both patches extracted from Linux-Next [3] and modules-next [4].
Both patches list changes to "kernel/modsign_certificate.S".
/me ---> confused!

Can you please enlighten me?
