This won't work for compat mode, when tp_value is a different size
in kernel and user space. You could either add a COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE1()
variant, or handle it like

        if (in_compat_syscall())
                   return put_user(ti->tp_value, (__u32 *)u_info);
        return put_user(ti->tp_value, u_info);
