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.

Vince

Maybe via web page of the commit?
