[RFC][PATCH 2/5] ftrace: Allow module init functions to be traced

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Tue Sep 19 2017 - 10:35:53 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow for module init sections to be traced as well as core kernel init
sections. Now that filtering modules functions can be stored, for when they
are loaded, it makes sense to be able to trace them.
