Description:
Mutual exclusion: Concurrent access of processes to a shared resource or
data is executed in mutually exclusive manner.
Only one process is allowed to execute the critical section (CS) at any given
time.
In a distributed system, shared variables (semaphores) or a local kernel
cannot be used to implement mutual exclusion.
