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