/* sync.cc: Synchronization functions for cygwin.
This file implements the methods for controlling the "muto" class
which is intended to operate similarly to a mutex but attempts to
avoid making expensive calls to the kernel.

If the muto is already locked then this thread will wait for ms until
it is signalled by muto::release. Then it will attempt to grab the
sync field. If it succeeds, then this thread owns the muto.
There is a pathological condition where a thread times out waiting for
bruteforce but the release code triggers the bruteforce event. In this
case, it is possible for a thread which is going to wait for bruteforce
to wake up immediately. It will then attempt to grab sync but will fail
