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.
