(I've resend this message, because the one I've replied to contained
contained kernel@vger... and not linux-kernel@vger... as addressee)
I've already sent exactly the same patch here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/27/449
and here:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/6/6/207
but for some unspoken reason it always got ignored.
It would make wonder if it would be accepted this time, just because of
another author name.

Alexander Holler

The check of valid_from and valid_to fields on X.509 certificate is a
time bomb to MODSIGN function, It causes kernel module could not be
load because the RTC on system may messed by user action (e.g. refresh
BIOS) that should not be trusted.
Base on the discussion of David Howells's "[PATCH] X.509: Remove
certificate date checks":
https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/14/257
This patch removed the validity check of certificate date but still keep
the valid_from and valid_to fields for future usage.
