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