Actually I think it's that's also bad: The padding in *ev must already be
cleared here (otherwise there is a leak of stack data in the kernel
already), so  *not* copying the padding requires at least adding a memset
upfront.

I would do the per-member copy like I did for v4l2_buffer in my
other reply:

                struct v4l2_event *ev = parg;
                struct v4l2_event_time32 ev32 = {
                        .type           = ev->type,
                        .pending        = ev->pending,
                        .sequence       = ev->sequence,
                        .timestamp.tv_sec  = ev->timestamp.tv_sec,
                        .timestamp.tv_nsec = ev->timestamp.tv_nsec,
                        .id             = ev->id,
                };

                memcpy(ev32.u, ev->u, sizeof(ev->u));
                memcpy(ev32.reserved, ev->reserved, sizeof(ev->reserved));

                if (copy_to_user(arg, &ev32, sizeof(ev32)))
                        return -EFAULT;

Unfortunately this is a little uglier because it still requires the two
memcpy() for the arrays, but I think it's good enough.

Any other ideas? Let me know if I should do a memset()
plus individual member copy instead.

Using the corresponding code here as well.

Done.
