Hmm...

You probably need to add a rcu_assign_pointer() or smp_wmb() before
the :

new_timer->it_signal = current->signal;

in the following block :

spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
new_timer->it_signal = current->signal;
list_add(&new_timer->list, &current->signal->posix_timers);
spin_unlock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);

Or else another thread can read outdated informations...

spin_lock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
list_add(&new_timer->list, &current->signal->posix_timers);
spin_unlock_irq(&current->sighand->siglock);
smp_wmb();
new_timer->it_signal = current->signal;
