Merge tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux

Pull module update from Rusty Russell:
 "Nothing all that exciting; a new module-from-fd syscall for those who
  want to verify the source of the module (ChromeOS) and/or use standard
  IMA on it or other security hooks."

* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  MODSIGN: Fix kbuild output when using default extra_certificates
  MODSIGN: Avoid using .incbin in C source
  modules: don't hand 0 to vmalloc.
  module: Remove a extra null character at the top of module->strtab.
  ASN.1: Use the ASN1_LONG_TAG and ASN1_INDEFINITE_LENGTH constants
  ASN.1: Define indefinite length marker constant
  moduleparam: use __UNIQUE_ID()
  __UNIQUE_ID()
  MODSIGN: Add modules_sign make target
  powerpc: add finit_module syscall.
  ima: support new kernel module syscall
  add finit_module syscall to asm-generic
  ARM: add finit_module syscall to ARM
  security: introduce kernel_module_from_file hook
  module: add flags arg to sys_finit_module()
  module: add syscall to load module from fd
