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