While auditing 6b959ba22d ("perf/core: Fix reentry problem in
perf_output_read_group()") a few spots were found that wanted
assertions.
Notable for_each_sibling_event() relies on exclusion from
modification. This would normally be holding either ctx->lock or
ctx->mutex, however due to how things are constructed disabling IRQs
is a valid and sufficient substitute for ctx->lock.
Another possible site to add assertions would be the various
pmu::{add,del,read,..}() methods, but that's not trivially expressable
in C -- the best option is wrappers, but those are easy enough to
forget.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
