 ThreadSanitizer is a tool that detects data races.  It consists of a compiler
 instrumentation module and a run-time library.  Typical slowdown introduced by

 Limitations
 -----------
 
 * ThreadSanitizer uses more real memory than a native run. At the default
-  settings the memory overhead is 9x plus 9Mb per each thread. Settings with 5x
-  and 3x overhead (but less accurate analysis) are also available.

 * ThreadSanitizer maps (but does not reserve) a lot of virtual address space.
   This means that tools like ``ulimit`` may not work as usually expected.
-* Static linking is not supported.
-* ThreadSanitizer requires ``-fPIE -pie``.
+* Libc/libstdc++ static linking is not supported.
+* ThreadSanitizer requires ``-fPIE -pie`` compiler flags.
 
 Current Status
 --------------
 
-ThreadSanitizer is in alpha stage.  It is known to work on large C++ programs
-using pthreads, but we do not promise anything (yet).  C++11 threading is not
-yet supported.  The test suite is integrated into CMake build and can be run
-with ``make check-tsan`` command.

 We are actively working on enhancing the tool --- stay tuned.  Any help,
 especially in the form of minimized standalone tests is more than welcome.
