@Ivan, we are going to fix snapd for the excessive memory usage.
AppArmor upstream already uses expr-simplify by default and newer
release of Ubuntu use parser.conf to set -O no-expr-simplify so users
can manage the setting like any other conffile.

Title:
  apparmor uses excessive memory leading to oom kill

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When attempting to load the profile from comment #7, apparmor uses
  excessive amounts of memory leading to being killed by the OOM killer
  and thus the apparmor.service failing.

  Original 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:

  May 25 17:05:25 systemd[1]: Failed to start 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.
