Merge tag 'init_task-20180117' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull init_task initializer cleanups from David Howells:
 "It doesn't seem useful to have the init_task in a header file rather
  than in a normal source file. We could consolidate init_task handling
  instead and expand out various macros.

  Here's a series of patches that consolidate init_task handling:

   (1) Make THREAD_SIZE available to vmlinux.lds for cris, hexagon and
       openrisc.

   (2) 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
       expand these in place of the user and get rid of a few lines and
       a lot of backslashes.

   (3) Expand INIT_TASK() in place.

   (4) Expand in place various small INIT_*() macros that are defined
       conditionally. Expand them and surround them by #if[n]def/#endif
       in the .c file as it takes fewer lines.

   (5) Expand INIT_SIGNALS() and INIT_SIGHAND() in place.

   (6) Expand INIT_STRUCT_PID in place.

  These macros can then be discarded"
