Abstract
A turnstile OS primitive is provided that enables support for owner tracking and waiting. The turnstile primitive enables a common framework that can be adopted across multiple different types of synchronization primitives to provide a common service for priority boosting and wait queuing. A turnstile can also provide a mechanism to enable a turnstile to block on another turnstile, allowing multi-hop priority boosting within a chain of multiple blocking turnstiles.
