Message-ID: To: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org List-Id: linux-arm-kernel.lists.infradead.org Hi all, I am trying to understand the role of linux kernel "process 0" i.e. swapper. I am not able to understand, where it gets started? and Does "init_task" from arch/arm/kernel/init_task.c belongs to "swapper" or "init"? whats the purpose of "init_task"? Thanks for your help. Thanks and Regards, Shivdas Gujare
