The first synchronization primitive of this type will be already familiar for us - [semaphore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semaphore_%28programming%29). As in all previous parts of this [book](https://0xax.gitbooks.io/linux-insides/content), before we will consider implementation of the `reader/writer semaphores` in the Linux kernel, we will start from the theoretical side and will try to understand what is the difference between `reader/writer semaphores` and `normal semaphores`.
