     5  // Semaphore implementation exposed to Go.
     6  // Intended use is provide a sleep and wakeup
     7  // primitive that can be used in the contended case
     8  // of other synchronization primitives.
     9  // Thus it targets the same goal as Linux's futex,
    10  // but it has much simpler semantics.
    11  //
    12  // That is, don't think of these as semaphores.
    13  // Think of them as a way to implement sleep and wakeup
    14  // such that every sleep is paired with a single wakeup,
    15  // even if, due to races, the wakeup happens before the sleep.
