Define klp prefixes in include/uapi/linux/livepatch.h, and use them for
replacing hard-coded values in kernel/livepatch/core.c.

In my understanding, UAPI headers should be licensed under:

/* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note */



Good eye, that is an interesting licensing detail. Easy enough to update assuming Josh (original author) is fine with adding the modifier.

Why is this include needed?

+#define KLP_RELA_PREFIX                ".klp.rela."
+#define KLP_SYM_PREFIX         ".klp.sym."

These do not depend on <linux/types.h>


Hmmm, types.h has been included since v1, but I just verified that removing it results in a clean build, so you are correct that it is (now) unnecessary.

Thanks,
