init_task belongs to "process 0" or "process 1"?

[Shivdas Gujare]

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
