You could attach custom handlers to tracepoints. If you were to replace
these unconditional code hooks of yours with tracepoints then you could
conditionally (say at boot) register custom handlers that do the
accounting you want.
Nobody is mandating you use the ftrace ringbuffer to consume tracepoints.
Many people these days attach eBPF scripts to them and do whatever they
want.
