Why Continuations Are Coming to Java
That depends on the synchronization mechanism used, and whether or not that mechanism is hooked into the kernel scheduler. Sometimes it is (such as pthread_mutex) and sometimes it is not (such as rolling your own spin locks).

ok, any "sane" implementation would not use spin-locks for this purpose, but yes it is technically possible to do so.
Spin-locks are not really the mechanism of choice for this level of abstraction.
