 This works by tracing various kernel sys_stat() functions using dynamic
 tracing, and will need updating to match any changes to these functions.
 
+This makes use of a Linux 4.5 feature (bpf_perf_event_output());
+for kernels older than 4.5, see the version under tools/old,
+which uses an older mechanism.
+
 Since this uses BPF, only the root user can use this tool.
