I understand that each processor can be understood as generating its own event stream (for a given event). Assume a quad-core system. At which point are the four event streams merged into one? What I mean is: is the ring buffer which represents a kernel channel for a given session (for example) actually four ring buffers (one per CPU), or just one? I suspect the merge occurs early (at the LTTng kernel module level), but I want to be sure. (I understand that the four streams remain distinct in the logical CTF sense: what I'm wondering about here is the sub-buffer multiplicity)
