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:
