/**
* Native lock type
*
* We are using a sleeping spinlock as lock implementation on Linux. This
* is a temporary solution until we have implemented futex-based locking.
* In a previous version, we have relied on POSIX semaphores as provided by
* the glibc. However, relying on the glibc badly interferes with a custom
* libc implementation. The glibc semaphore implementation expects to find
* a valid pthread structure via the TLS pointer. We do not have such a
* structure because we create threads via the 'clone' system call rather
* than 'pthread_create'. Hence we have to keep the base framework clean
* from glibc usage altogether.
