Comment (by joel.sherrill):

 I haven't looked into the timer_getoverrun() yet but it was on my list.

 I don't see the problem with _POSIX_Timer_TSR(). Yes it runs in ISR
 context and there is no current thread context. But it sends a signal to a
 specified thread which is OK. If it sent it to pthread_self(), it would be
 broken.

   if ( pthread_kill ( ptimer->thread_id, ptimer->inf.sigev_signo ) ) {

 The evaluation of the impact of that signal should be deferred to the end
 of the ISR as part of the ISR dispatch and post switch processing.
