Consider how to implement a mutex lock using an atomic hardwareinstruction. Assume that the following structure defining the mutexlock is available:typedef struct {int available;} lock;(available == 0) indicates that the lock is available, and a value of 1indicates that the lock is unavailable. Using this struct, illustrate howthe following functions can be implemented using the test and set()and compare and swap() instructions: void acquire(lock *mutex) void release(lock *mutex)Be sure to include any initialization that may be necessary.do {while (true) {flag[i] = want in;j = turn;while (j != i) {if (flag[j] != idle) {j = turn;elsej = (j + 1) % n;}flag[i] = in cs;j = 0;while ( (j < n) && (j == i || flag[j] != in cs))j++;if ( (j >= n) && (turn == i || flag[turn] == idle))break;}/* critical section */j = (turn + 1) % n;while (flag[j] == idle)j = (j + 1) % n;turn = j;flag[i] = idle;/* remainder section */} while (true);Figure 5.22 The structure of process Pi in Eisenberg and McGuires algorithm.
