powerpc/pseries: export LPAR security flavor in lparcfg
This is helpful to read the security flavor from inside the LPAR. In /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/security_features it can be seen if mitigations are on or off but not the level set through the ASMI menu. Furthermore, reporting it through /proc/powerpc/lparcfg allows an easy processing by the lparstat command [1]. Export it like this in /proc/powerpc/lparcfg: $ grep security_flavor /proc/powerpc/lparcfg security_flavor=1 Value follows what is documented on the IBM support page [2]: 0 Speculative execution fully enabled 1 Speculative execution controls to mitigate user-to-kernel attacks 2 Speculative execution controls to mitigate user-to-kernel and user-to-user side-channel attacks [1] https://groups.google.com/g/powerpc-utils-devel/c/NaKXvdyl_UI/m/wa2stpIDAQAJ [2] https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/715841Signed-off-by: Laurent Dufour <ldufour@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210305125554.5165-1-ldufour@linux.ibm.com
