17 * Attempting to lock a mutex on ARMv6+ can be done with a bastardized
18 * atomic decrement (it is not a reliable atomic decrement but it satisfies
19 * the defined semantics for our purpose, while being smaller and faster
20 * than a real atomic decrement or atomic swap. The idea is to attempt
21 * decrementing the lock value only once. If once decremented it isn't zero,
22 * or if its store-back fails due to a dispute on the exclusive store, we
23 * simply bail out immediately through the slow path where the lock will be
24 * reattempted until it succeeds.
