We need to pass the data in the sigev_value meember of the struct sigevent structure passed to timer_create to the caller. I don't see it being done here nor when the timer is created. Do I miss something? The sigev_value value should be stored in the user/ptr member of struct ukevent.

sigev_value was stored in k_itimer structure, I just do not know where
to put it in the ukevent provided to userspace - it can be placed in
pointer value if you like.

sigev_value is a union and the largest element is a pointer. So, transporting the pointer value is sufficient and it should be passed up to the user in the ptr member of struct ukevent.
