maybe you've misunderstood my meaning. I mean the whole <asm/
semaphore.h> header file has only 4 lines of code in total:
#ifndef I386_SEMAPHORE_H
#define I386_SEMAPHORE_H
#include <linux/linkage.h>
#endif

it's supposed to have more codes than that. like
struct semaphore {
int count;
int waking;
int lock ; /* to make waking testing atomic */
struct wait_queue * wait;
};
and the down(), up() functions.

but I can't see any of those codes, not even the #ifdef __KERNEL__
macro.


It does in the kernel version of that header. The userspace version of that header has everything inside #ifdef __KERNEL__ stripped out.
