   Unless I’m mistaken, when a session daemon disables a channel, for instance, 
it asks liblttng-ust to turn off the immediate value test in the registered 
applications (each tracepoint entry is guarded by an immediate value test which 
is controlled by changing a single byte).  That’s the principle, anyway.  I 
haven’t actually followed this through the tangle of LTTng’s code.
   Rest assured that if liblttng-ust writes to a channel’s buffer, it’s because 
the event was enabled at the time.
   I know the consumer daemon(s) read(s) /run/lttng/lttng-session.pid (or 
$HOME/.lttng/lttng-session.pid) to reach the session daemon.  I think the 
session daemon uses the /run/lttng/ustconsumerd64 (or 
$HOME/.lttng/ustconsumerd64; 32-bit versions may also exist) socket to send 
commands to the consumer daemon(s).
   About the only things the diagram is missing now are:
* the lttng-relayd daemon (which completes the “Network destination / 
streaming” box);
* the add-context command (easily put beside enable-channel and enable-event); 
and
* the buffers-global / buffers-pid / buffers-uid alternative (could be put 
opposite the output TYPE at the Buffer’s top right).
   Change:
* “LTTv” into “LTTV”
* “Eclipse” into “Eclipse TMF”
* “tracefilesize” into “tracefile-size”
* “commandline” into “command line”
