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