21  * Simple, straightforward mutexes with strict semantics:
22  *
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
34  *
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:
39  *
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
43  * - owner tracking
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)
