    gmain: only signal GWakeup right before or during a blocking poll · 9ba95e25
    Paolo Bonzini authored and Colin Walters's avatar Colin Walters committed
    Since commit e4ee3079 ("Do not wake up main loop if change is from same
    thread", bug 761102), GMainContext uses context->owner to decide if the
    event loop is being run in the current thread.  However, what really
    matters is the phase in the prepare/query/poll/check/dispatch sequence.
    Wakeups are only needed between the end of prepare and the end of poll,
    and then only if prepare found that no sources were ready.
    
    There is no need to take threads into account, because prepare, check
    and all callers of conditional_wakeup all look at the new need_wakeup
    flag inside LOCK_CONTEXT/UNLOCK_CONTEXT.
    
    With this change, g_main_context_is_owner and g_main_context_wait are
    the only functions for which acquire/release matters, just like before
    commit e4ee3079
