Hi Ingo,
Is this something that could be taken into the tip tree? It's a series of
patches that consolidate init_task handling:
(1) Alter the INIT_TASK_DATA linker script macro to set init_thread_union
and init_stack rather than defining these in C.
Insert init_task and init_thread_into into the init_stack area in the
linker script as appropriate to the configuration, with different
section markers so that they end up correctly ordered.
We can then get merge ia64's init_task.c into the main one.
We then have a bunch of single-use INIT_*() macros that seem only to be
macros because they used to be used per-arch. We can then unroll these in
place of the user and get rid of a few lines and a lot of backslashes.
(2) Unroll INIT_TASK().
(3) Unroll various small INIT_*() macros that are defined conditionally.
Unroll them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif in the .c file as it
takes fewer lines.
(4) Unroll INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND().
(5) Unroll INIT_STRUCT_PID.
The patches can be found here also:
