Since we all love vile macro magic, is the below any better?

include/linux/task_states.h

TASK_STATE(RUNNING, "R", "running")
TASK_STATE(INTERRUPTIBLE, "S", "sleeping")
...

include/linux/sched.h

enum {
#define TASK_STATE(tstate, tstate_c, tstate_s) __TASK_##tstate,
#include <linux/task_states.h>
#undef TASK_STATE
};

enum {
#define TASK_STATE(tstate, tstate_c, tstate_s) \
	TASK_##tstate = 1 << __TASK_##tstate,
#include <linux/task_states.h>
#undef TASK_STATE
};

const char *task_state_to_char =
#define TASK_STATE(tstate, tstate_c, tstate_s) tstate_c
#include <linux/task_states.h>
#undef TASK_STATE
;

const char *task_state_to_string[] = {
#define TASK_STATE(tstate, tstate_c, tstate_s) tstate_s,
#include <linux/task_states.h>
#undef TASK_STATE
};
