+	  This utility will process statistics from /proc/schedstat
+	  such that the busiest stats will bubble up to the top. It
+	  can alternately be sorted by the largest stat, or by name.
+	  Stats can be included or excluded based on reg-ex pattern
+	  matching.
+
+	  You should enable CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS in your Linux kernel
+	  configuration to use this utility.
