Using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit, but I see that this problem is present in the online man pages as well. The argp for various of the console keyboard "get" ioctls - KDGETMODE, KDGKBMODE, KDGKBMETA - is described as "argp points to a long". This is not correct; in the kernel it's put_user(ucval, (int __user *)arg) This will work with a 32-bit binary, but will leave the upper part of the word unset with a 64-bit (LP64) binary.
