earlyprintk is useful when the kernel crashes before
The sclp output can only be used on s390.
+ The optional "force" to "pciserial" enables use of a

CONFIG_RETPOLINE configuration option, and the
compiler with which the kernel was built.
+ Selecting 'on' will also enable the mitigation
+ against user space to user space task attacks.
+
+ Selecting 'off' will disable both the kernel and
+ the user space protections.

Specific mitigations can also be selected manually:
retpoline - replace indirect branches
Not specifying this option is equivalent to
