One possible method is, boot with `init=/bin/sh`, then in the shell run:
exec strace -D -f -o /tmp/strace.log /usr/lib/systemd/systemd
Alternatively, for both perf and strace, make a .service with
{Before=sysinit.target, DefaultDependencies=no} that attaches to pid 1:
ExecStart=/bin/strace -p 1 -f -o /tmp/strace.log
