Merge tag 'for-linus-5.10b-rc1b-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip
Pull more xen updates from Juergen Gross: - A single patch to fix the Xen security issue XSA-331 (malicious guests can DoS dom0 by triggering NULL-pointer dereferences or access to stale data). - A larger series to fix the Xen security issue XSA-332 (malicious guests can DoS dom0 by sending events at high frequency leading to dom0's vcpus being busy in IRQ handling for elongated times). * tag 'for-linus-5.10b-rc1b-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip: xen/events: block rogue events for some time xen/events: defer eoi in case of excessive number of events xen/events: use a common cpu hotplug hook for event channels xen/events: switch user event channels to lateeoi model xen/pciback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/pvcallsback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/scsiback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/netback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/blkback: use lateeoi irq binding xen/events: add a new "late EOI" evtchn framework xen/events: fix race in evtchn_fifo_unmask() xen/events: add a proper barrier to 2-level uevent unmasking xen/events: avoid removing an event channel while handling it
