When a user is on an older Linux/perf version, they may get zero samples.
Could you amend this message to note that too? Please also indicate which Linux version is required for support [1].
In those cases running `perf script -F pid,brstack --itrace=bl` only returns:
```
PID
1234
1234
1234
```
In other words, the brstack field is missing, in a silent failure.

[1] @Leo-Yan confirms that his brstack work landed on Linux Kernel v6.14. Thanks Leo!
