22 * Simple, straightforward mutexes with strict semantics:
24 * - only one task can hold the mutex at a time
25 * - only the owner can unlock the mutex
26 * - multiple unlocks are not permitted
27 * - recursive locking is not permitted
28 * - a mutex object must be initialized via the API
29 * - a mutex object must not be initialized via memset or copying
30 * - task may not exit with mutex held
31 * - memory areas where held locks reside must not be freed
32 * - held mutexes must not be reinitialized
33 * - mutexes may not be used in hardware or software interrupt
34 * contexts such as tasklets and timers
36 * These semantics are fully enforced when DEBUG_MUTEXES is
37 * enabled. Furthermore, besides enforcing the above rules, the mutex
38 * debugging code also implements a number of additional features
39 * that make lock debugging easier and faster:
41 * - uses symbolic names of mutexes, whenever they are printed in debug output
42 * - point-of-acquire tracking, symbolic lookup of function names
43 * - list of all locks held in the system, printout of them
45 * - detects self-recursing locks and prints out all relevant info
46 * - detects multi-task circular deadlocks and prints out all affected
47 * locks and tasks (and only those tasks)
