How do we prevent that somebody tries to register a POSIX timer event source with kevent_ctl(KEVENT_CTL_ADD)? This should only be possible from sys_timer_create and nowhere else.

Can you add a parameter to kevent_enqueue indicating this is a call from inside the kernel and then ignore certain enqueue callbacks?

We need to pass the data in the sigev_value meember of the struct sigevent structure passed to timer_create to the caller. I don't see it being done here nor when the timer is created. Do I miss something? The sigev_value value should be stored in the user/ptr member of struct ukevent.

Don't use a bit. It makes no sense to combine SIGEV_SIGNAL with SIGEV_KEVENT etc. Only SIGEV_THREAD_ID is a special case.

Just define SIGEV_KEVENT to 3 and replace the tests like the one cited above with

  if (timr->it_sigev_notify == SIGEV_KEVENT)
