32/*******************************************************************************************
33 * This synchronisation object sequencializes all concurrent read or write accesses to
34 * a shared object located in a given cluster, made by thread(s) running in same cluster.
35 * It uses a busy waiting policy when the lock is taken by another thread, and should
36 * be used to execute very short actions, such as basic allocators, or to protect
37 * higher level synchronisation objects, such as queuelock or rwlock.
38 * WARNING: a thread cannot yield when it is owning a busylock (local or remote).
39 *
40 * - To acquire the lock, we use a ticket policy to avoid starvation: the calling thread
41 *   makes an atomic increment on a "ticket" allocator, and keep polling the "current"
42 *   value  until current == ticket.
43 *
44 * - To release the lock, the owner thread increments the "current" value,
45 *   decrements its busylocks counter.
46 *
47 * - When a thread takes a busylock, it enters a critical section: the busylock_acquire()
48 *   function disables the IRQs, takes the lock, increments the thread busylocks counter,
49 *   and save the SR in lock descriptor and returns.
50 *
51 * - The busylock_release() function releases the lock, decrements the thread busylock
52 *   counter, restores the SR to exit the critical section, and returns
53 *
54 * - If a thread owning a busylock (local or remote) tries to deschedule, the scheduler
55 *   signals a kernel panic.
