    tracing: Allow tracers to start at core initcall · 6f415672
    Steven Rostedt authored
    There's times during debugging that it is helpful to see traces of early
    boot functions. But the tracers are initialized at device_initcall()
    which is quite late during the boot process. Setting the kernel command
    line parameter ftrace=function will not show anything until the function
    tracer is initialized. This prevents being able to trace functions before
    device_initcall().
    
    There's no reason that the tracers need to be initialized so late in the
    boot process. Move them up to core_initcall() as they still need to come
    after early_initcall() which initializes the tracing buffers.
