The v4l2-compat-ioctl32() currently takes an extra round trip through user space pointers when converting the data structure formats. In particular, this involves using the compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() helpers that often lead to worse compat handlers compared to using in_compat_syscall() checks when copying the data. The native implementation already gained a simpler method to deal with the conversion for the time32 conversion. Hook into the same places to provide a location for reading and writing user space data from inside of the generic video_usercopy() helper. Hans Verkuil rewrote the video_get_user() function here to simplify the zeroing of the extra input fields and fixed a couple of bugs in the original implementation.

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.
