These books describe historic/classic BSD and UNIX systems.  If the
question is about modern synchronisation methods in NetBSD (as opposed
to other BSDs or obsolete methods), then Solaris Internals would be
closer to the reality these days.  Otherwise, there are manual pages
describing the kernel interfaces, e.g. softint(9), spl(9), mutex(9),
condvar(9), kpreempt(9) and various others.
