The only thing I can say is that signalling, especially broadcasting,

With broadcasting it also doesn't matter if you broadcast from inside
or outside.

We have to agree to disagree? Fair enough?

But there's one interesting fact to learn at last: broadcasting is more >efficient than unicasting.

That fails on logical grounds, and is very dependent upon how
many waiters exist at the time of the broadcast and how many
processing elements are available.

I do that only if the number of waiters is equal or smaller than
the number of enqueued items.

Doesn't matter. With broadcast, they're all scheduled and have
you heard the term 'thundering herd'?

N-1 of the waiters will attempt to acquire the mutex and fail;
causing unnecessary coherency traffic and unnecessary context
switches.
