Yes I know how you use it, but this is an open API. It may be currently
only used by perf today, but that doesn't mean that it wont be used by
others. There's no documentation on how to use it. I don't look at this
and say, "oh this is used by perf, we only need to worry about how perf
uses it". That doesn't scale. It needs to be documented on how to use
it, and if it requires preemption disabled when calling it, it should
definitely be stated that fact and it may need a
WARN_ON(preempt_count()) or something.
