What are the types of semaphores?
Three types of semaphores: 1.General/Counting semaphores: (can take any non-negative value) These are used when you might have multiple devices (like 3 printers or multiple memory buffers). 2.Binary semaphores: (can either be 0 or 1) These are used to gain exclusive access to a single resource (like the serial port, a non-reentrant library routine, or a hard disk drive). A counting semaphore that has a maximum value of 1 is equivalent to a binary semaphore (because the semaphore's value can only be 0 or 1). 3.Mutex semaphores: These are optimized for use in controlling mutually exclusive access to a resource. There are several implementations of this type of semaphore.

What is spinlock?
Semaphores are a useful tool for mutual exclusion, but they are not the only such tool provided by the kernel. Instead, most locking is implemented with a mechanism called a spinlock. Unlike semaphores, spinlocks may be used in code that cannot sleep, such as interrupt handlers. When properly used, spinlocks offer higher performance than semaphores in general. They do, however, bring a different set of constraints on their use.
