SYSCALL_DEFINE2(timer_gettime, timer_t, timer_id,
		struct __kernel_itimerspec __user *, setting)
{
	struct itimerspec64 cur_setting;

	int ret = do_timer_gettime(timer_id, &cur_setting);
	if (!ret) {
		if (put_itimerspec64(&cur_setting, setting))

How exactly does this end up being copied to user space if ret != 0?

Thanks,
