Jonathan G Rennison f021bdf8cc Fix malformed links in SyncPrim 3 & 4 and Initialization 7.
'CPU mask' link in Initialization 7 is double-bracketed.
'Previous part' links in SyncPrim 3 & 4 have two opening brackets
and one closing.
'Previous part' link in SyncPrim 4 points to current page,
instead of previous.

Synchronization primitives in the Linux kernel.

This chapter describes synchronization primitivies in the Linux kernel.

  • Introduction to spinlocks - the first part of this chapter describes implementation of spinlock mechanism in the Linux kernel.
  • Queued spinlocks - the second part describes another type of spinlocks - queued spinlocks.
  • Semaphores - this part describes implementation of semaphore synchronization primitive in the Linux kernel.
  • Mutual exclusion - this part describes - mutex in the Linux kernel.
