So yes that does appear to be part of it. I pulled your profile and tested just a compile

With Valgrind --tool=massif reporting a peak heap usage of 884.5MB However Ubuntu defaults to using -O no-expr-simplify because it can speed up small profiles. With that I get time apparmor_parser -QT -D dfa-stats -O no-expr-simplify /tmp/layouts-test-1.txt Created dfa: states 40915 proto { cache: size=40915 dups=83997 longest=4870 avg=9 }, nnodes { cache: size=40633 dups=84279 longest=4869 avg=8 }, anodes { cache: size=11 dups=82787 longest=2 avg=1 } Minimized dfa: final partitions 699 (accept 73) init 8 (accept 7) Created dfa: states 44769 proto { cache: size=44769 dups=28309 longest=33583 avg=226 }, nnodes { cache: size=44495 dups=28583 longest=33583 avg=226 }, anodes { cache: size=6 dups=8500 longest=2 avg=1 } Minimized dfa: final partitions 27273 (accept 2095) init 4 (accept 3) real 0m45.947s user 0m39.770s sys 0m6.166s with valgrind --tool=massif reporting a peak usage of 15.4 GB ouch and that isn't the worst of it, because the initscripts run multiple compiles in parallel. Mind you most compiles only take a few MB, but still all of that happening at the same time puts a lot of pressure on the system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1830502 Title: apparmor fails to start with no parser errors Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS Desktop, after running out of space on my disk, my system was unable to finish booting and I had to go into recovery mode and remove a number of files before the system would boot. After doing so I discovered that now the apparmor.service systemd unit always fails to start. I see this in dmesg: [ 1066.975360] Out of memory: Kill process 6799 (apparmor_parser) score 796 or sacrifice child [ 1066.975364] Killed process 6799 (apparmor_parser) total-vm:15057348kB, anon-rss:15046148kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB [ 1067.406595] oom_reaper: reaped process 6799 (apparmor_parser), now anon-rss:0kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB Whenever apparmor.service is attempted to be started by systemd, i.e. either on boot, or later with `systemctl start apparmor`. The log from journalctl doesn't show any actual issues with any profiles just this: -- Reboot -- May 25 17:00:58 systemd[1]: Starting AppArmor initialization...

I can see that apparmor profiles are active after doing this (using aa-status), but it's still troubling that apparmor runs into an issue without actually saying what the error is.
