#86524 — CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING

Could we get this enabled in the distro kernels?

It's extremely low overhead (much lower than memcg, for example), and it
can be defaulted off for even lower overhead.

And it's a very useful debugging/profiling feature for kernel developers
taking bug reports from distro kernels, and users and sysadmins as well.

Cheers,
Kent

Let's make this a wishlist bugreport for our package.
