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
