ftrace is your friend, no need to try to duplicate it with debugging
stuff.  This and the _leave() calls should be removed.

Shouldn't you rely on the userspace permissions of the file instead of
this?

We don't mess with ASSERT() in the kernel, how can this ever be false?

You forgot to test if you have a big enough buffer to copy the data
into :(

No endian issues?

That is a very big device node name.  Are you sure that is what you
want?

And where are you documenting this new misc device node name and format
so that userspace knows about it?

For structures that cross the user/kernel boundry, you have to use the
correct types.  For this it would be __u64.

__u8.

Also, what is the endian of the other values here?  Always native?
