First of all, on short copies __copy_{to,from}_user() return the amount
of bytes left uncopied, *not* -EFAULT. get_user() and put_user() are
expected to return -EFAULT on failure.
Another problem is get_user(v32, (__u64 __user *)p); that should
fetch 64bit value and the assign it to v32, truncating it in process.
Current code, OTOH, reads 8 bytes of data and stores them at the
address of v32, stomping on the 4 bytes that follow v32 itself.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
