32/*******************************************************************************************
33 * This synchronisation object sequencializes all concurrent read or write accesses to a
34 * shared object located in any cluster, made by any thread(s) running in any cluster.
35 * It uses a busy waiting policy when the lock is taken by another thread, and should
36 * be used ro execute very short actions, such as basic allocators, or to protect 
37 * higher level synchronisation objects, such as remote_queuelock and remote_rwlock.
38 *
39 * - To acquire the lock, we use a ticket policy to avoid starvation: the calling thread
40 *   makes an atomic increment on a "ticket" allocator, and keep polling the "current"
41 *   value  until current == ticket.
42 *
43 * - To release the lock, the owner thread increments the "current" value.
44 *
45 * - When a thread takes a busylock, it enters a critical section: the acquire()
46 *   function disables the IRQs, takes the lock, increments the thread busylocks counter,
47 *   save the SR in the lock descriptor and returns.
48 *
49 * - The release() function releases the lock, decrements the thread busylock
50 *   counter, restores the SR to exit the critical section, and returns.
51 *
52 * WARNING: a thread cannot yield when it is holding a busylock (local or remote).
53 *
54 * This rule is checked by all functions containing a thread_yield() AND by the scheduler,
55 * thanks to the busylocks counter stored in the calling thread descriptor.
56 * 1) all functions call "thread_assert_can_yield()" before calling "thread_yield()".
57 * 2) The scheduler checks that the calling thread does not hold any busylock.
58 * In case of violation the core goes to sleep after a [PANIC] message on TXT0.
