Is TimeSys (http://www.timesys.com) violating the GPL by extending
Linux with new features (high resolution clocks and timers, protection
against priority inversion) by adding a proprietary loadable kernel module?

If their module is a derivative of GPL code, then yes.

If the total work consisting of GPL code and their
proprietary module is a derivative of GPL code, then
probably.
