There are equivalent, specifically adapted to the kernel environment mechanisms. For example, a kernel semaphore (which is actually a mutex) or a spinlock. For shared memory, you can just use a shared variable or buffer, depending on your needs. If you want shared memory (or mutual exclusion) between the kernel and a user space process, that's where the fun starts.
