/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * (c) The GHC Team, 2006-2009
 *
 * Spin locks
 *
 * These are simple spin-only locks as opposed to Mutexes which
 * probably spin for a while before blocking in the kernel.  We use
 * these when we are sure that all our threads are actively running on
 * a CPU, eg. in the GC.
 *
 * TODO: measure whether we really need these, or whether Mutexes
 * would do (and be a bit safer if a CPU becomes loaded).
 *
 * Do not #include this file directly: #include "Rts.h" instead.
 *
 * To understand the structure of the RTS headers, see the wiki:
 *   https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/commentary/source-tree/includes
