commit fe415186b43df0db1f17fa3a46275fd92107fe71 upstream.
The Xen console driver is still vulnerable for an attack via excessive number of events sent by the backend. Fix that by using a lateeoi event channel.
For the normal domU initial console this requires the introduction of bind_evtchn_to_irq_lateeoi() as there is no xenbus device available at the time the event channel is bound to the irq.
As the decision whether an interrupt was spurious or not requires to test for bytes having been read from the backend, move sending the event into the if statement, as sending an event without having found any bytes to be read is making no sense at all.
This is part of XSA-391
