50 1) We can pick any position that is allowed by external happens-before
51 constraints. In particular, if another __pthread_cond_wait call
52 happened before us, this waiter must be eligible for being woken by
53 us. The only way do establish such a happens-before is by signaling
54 while having acquired the mutex associated with the condvar and
55 ensuring that the signal's critical section happens after the waiter.
56 Thus, the mutex ensures that we see that waiter's __wseq increase.
57 2) Once we pick a position, we do not need to communicate this to the
58 program via a happens-before that we set up: First, any wake-up could
59 be a spurious wake-up, so the program must not interpret a wake-up as
60 an indication that the waiter happened before a particular signal;
61 second, a program cannot detect whether a waiter has not yet been
62 woken (i.e., it cannot distinguish between a non-woken waiter and one
63 that has been woken but hasn't resumed execution yet), and thus it
64 cannot try to deduce that a signal happened before a particular
