Where to find process table in linux files?

I am trying to edit my custom linux kernel to add some more features like saving a flag true/false for each process.

I know from my self-learning that each process has a table where it saves its pid and other stuff, my question is where that table in defined?

I searched a lot in linux file and couldn't find it.

Small Note: I want to set this flag to 0 when the init process starts, can someone guide me at which file pid of init process is initialised to 0 so I can add my own code?

You may be thinking of struct task_struct in include/linux/sched.h.
