This partially reverts commit 58eacfffc417 ("init, tracing: instrument
security and console initcall trace events") since security init calls
are about to no longer resemble regular init calls.
I'm not against the change, but how much are they going to "no longer
resemble regular init calls"?
My take on "regular" init calls is that they're always run, link-time
ordered, etc. The changes proposed here will make it so not all
initialization are run depending on runtime configurations, ordering
will be flexible, etc.
Will it still be a good idea to have a tracepoint for those calls?
Perhaps not an initcall tracepoint but some other kind?
