Well, I got your point now.
/proc/ltt shows the markers which are located in a specific ELF section "__markers".
echo "connect channel_name marker_name" > /proc/ltt just creates a marker_entry. Since
a marker with "channel_name marker_name" doesn't exist in any where. IOW, it can never
be triggered. Hence, does this feature really make sense?
