Egads...

static int put_compat_shm_info(struct shm_info *ip,
                                struct compat_shm_info __user *uip)

        struct compat_shm_info info;

        memset(&info, 0, sizeof(info));
        info.used_ids = ip->used_ids;
        info.shm_tot = ip->shm_tot;
        info.shm_rss = ip->shm_rss;

        return copy_to_user(up, &info, sizeof(info));
