  *	Description
  *		Return a user or a kernel stack in bpf program provided buffer.
+ *		Note: the user stack will only be populated if the *task* is
+ *		the current task; all other tasks will return -EOPNOTSUPP.
  *		To achieve this, the helper needs *task*, which is a valid
  *		pointer to **struct task_struct**. To store the stacktrace, the
  *		bpf program provides *buf* with a nonnegative *size*.
