A small change to the code for the mutex using semaphores:

void f() {
   // Locking code
   sem_wait(&sem1);
   mutex_owner = getpid();

   // CS

   // Unlocking code
   if(getpid() == mutex_owner) {
       sem_post(&sem1);
   } else {
      abort(); // Invalid program operation: mutex not owned is being 
unlocked.
   }
}
