The patch titled
     Subject: alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     alloc_tag-check-mem_profiling_support-in-alloc_tag_init.patch

This patch will shortly appear at

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress

Subject: alloc_tag: check mem_profiling_support in alloc_tag_init
Date: Tue, 13 May 2025 12:26:02 -0600

If mem_profiling_support is false, for example by
sysctl.vm.mem_profiling=never, alloc_tag_init should skip module tags
allocation, codetag type registration and procfs init.
