Thank you

That's a good question.

The original authors are T. Gleixner and I. Molnar, but they've never published a real document about it. You could try citing the
tools/perf/design.txt document that comes with the Linux kernel,
or also the git commit 0793a61d4df8daeac6492dbf8d2f3e5713caae5e from Thu Dec 4 2008 that introduced perf_event to the world.

I'm not sure if there is an official way to cite a git commit.

Maybe via web page of the commit?
