Merge tag 'v4.13-rc1' into fixes

The fixes branch is based off a random pre-rc1 commit, because we had
some fixes that needed to go in before rc1 was released.

However we now need to fix some code that went in after that point, but
before rc1, so merge rc1 to get that code into fixes so we can fix it!
