Sorry I am late getting back to you.   Yes, Kleber set out to do what
you tried and found the same.  he was hoping to finish this before his
vacation but was unable to.  I asked Khaled to try and finish that
trello card and of course he ran into problems and ran out of time due
to impact on our SRU from the SACK Panic release and having to get new
kernels ready for July 1 SRU release in the two weeks we had left.
Khaled is hoping to get back to this card tomorrow, Friday, June 21.

Will keep you updated but hope this is resolved and fix-committed for
SRU 2019.07.01

Terry

Title:
  perf top problem on z with Ubuntu 18.04

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Bionic:
  In Progress
Status in linux source package in Cosmic:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  SRU Justification:
  ==================

  [Impact]

  * The perf top tool hangs and shows error messages, like 'Not enough
  memory for annotating'

  [Fix]

  * edeb0c90df3581b821a764052d185df985f8b8dc edeb0c9 "perf tools: Stop
  fallbacking to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup"

  [Test Case]

  * start a benchmark (mem_alloc, but it doesn't really matter what)

  * execute perf top in a second terminal

  * the output of perf top is correct

  * now stop the benchmark

  * and perf top shows an error message, like "Not enough memory for
  annotating '__irf_end' symbol!)"

  * and perf top can't be exited anymore

  [Regression Potential]

  * The regression potential can be considered as low since this happens
  only while using the perf top tool

  * and it is known that the commit (above) fixes the problem

  * and the fix is upstream since 4.19

  [Other Info]

  * current disco and eoan kernels don't show that problem

  * bisecting result points to above commit

  * applies cleanly on cosmic, but has a little conflict on bionic (both 
master-next)

  perf top hangs and shows error messages

  ---uname output---
  Linux weather 4.15.0-46-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Wed Feb 6 09:32:27 UTC 2019 
s390x s390x s390x GNU/Linux

  ---Steps to Reproduce---
   I start a benchmark (mem_alloc, but it really doesn't matter) and then issue 
perf top in a second terminal, the output from perf top is correct. Now I stop 
the benchmark: perf top shows a error message (Not enough memory for annotating 
'__irf_end' symbol!) and I can't quit from perf top anymore

  Following analyse took place:
  No problem with current kernel .
  Bi-Secting of perf tool took place and following commit was found:

  commit edeb0c90df3581b821a764052d185df985f8b8dc (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)
  Author: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Oct 16 17:08:29 2018 -0300

      perf tools: Stop fallbacking to kallsyms for vdso symbols lookup

  When you apply this patch the issue is gone, however it is contained
  in these versions:

  git tag --contains  edeb0c90df3581b821
  v4.19
  v4.20
  ....

  The level I was debugging was kernel 4.15 which does not contain this
  patch.
