Timers are only ever run on them main runtime thread. In emscripten-core#26655 I added an assertion to ensure that `_emscripten_check_timers` is only called from the main runtime thread. This broke tests such as `lto0.test_wasm_worker_futex_wait`. The reason this test only failed in the LTO build on not under core0 is due to a bug in LTO which defeats the weak alias mechanism that is designed to only pull in the timer code when needed: ``` weak_alias(dummy, _emscripten_check_timers); ``` This changes fixes the stub version of `emscripten_yield_stub` so that it avoids calling `_emscripten_check_timers` from Wasm Workers. Note: In a Wasm Workers build one can register and use timers from the main thread, but one cannot register a timer from a Wasm Worker (because _setitimer_js is a proxied func).
