Merge tag 'xsa-5.19-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip

Pull xen security fixes from Juergen Gross:

 - XSA-403 (4 patches for blkfront and netfront drivers):

   Linux Block and Network PV device frontends don't zero memory regions
   before sharing them with the backend (CVE-2022-26365,
   CVE-2022-33740). Additionally the granularity of the grant table
   doesn't allow sharing less than a 4K page, leading to unrelated data
   residing in the same 4K page as data shared with a backend being
   accessible by such backend (CVE-2022-33741, CVE-2022-33742).

 - XSA-405 (1 patch for netfront driver, only 5.10 and newer):

   While adding logic to support XDP (eXpress Data Path), a code label
   was moved in a way allowing for SKBs having references (pointers)
   retained for further processing to nevertheless be freed.

 - XSA-406 (1 patch for Arm specific dom0 code):

   When mapping pages of guests on Arm, dom0 is using an rbtree to keep
   track of the foreign mappings.

   Updating of that rbtree is not always done completely with the
   related lock held, resulting in a small race window, which can be
   used by unprivileged guests via PV devices to cause inconsistencies
   of the rbtree. These inconsistencies can lead to Denial of Service
   (DoS) of dom0, e.g. by causing crashes or the inability to perform
   further mappings of other guests' memory pages.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
