     - Example:
       - tests/demo/   demo.c  tp*.c ust_tests_demo*.h demo-trace
+  - Note about dlopen() usage: due to locking side-effects due to the
+    way libc lazily resolves Thread-Local Storage (TLS) symbols when a
+    library is dlopen'd, linking the tracepoint probe or liblttng-ust
+    with dlopen() is discouraged. They should be linked with the
+    application using "-llibname" or loaded with LD_PRELOAD.
   - Enable instrumentation and control tracing with the "lttng" command
     from lttng-tools. See lttng-tools doc/quickstart.txt.
