  There seems to be a bug in the efi-lockdown patch as applied on top of 
vanilla for Cosmic kernels:
  
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-cosmic.git/commit/fs/debugfs/file.c?id=a1ba65da9ceae481c154bfd1a2c1550e4566d986

  Also seems to be present for Disco as of today:
  
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/ubuntu-disco.git/commit/fs/debugfs/file.c?id=a1ba65da9ceae481c154bfd1a2c1550e4566d986

  The problem is that part of the patch modifies kernel behavior
  independently of CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL being set or not causing
  issues on two debugfs files on s390x.

  Vasily Gorbik has already analyzed the problem and has posted a proposed fix 
here:
