The latter: 
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/classes/wakemainthread.html
It is called by the internal procedure ThreadQueueAppend which is used 
by both TThread.Queue and TThread.Synchronize. Additionally if the the 
main thread is already waiting inside a CheckSynchronize() call it is 
notified using an event.
