My preference would be to do something like:

$ cat include/asm-generic/current.h
#ifndef __ASM_GENERIC_CURRENT_H
#define __ASM_GENERIC_CURRENT_H

#include <linux/thread_info.h>

#define get_current() (current_thread_info()->task)
#define current get_current()

#define CURRENT_SUB "\032"
#define CURRENT_SUB_ASCII '\032'

#define CURRENT_ID CURRENT_SUB "1"
#define CURRENT_COMM CURRENT_SUB "2"
#define CURRENT_TASK_STATE CURRENT_SUB "3"
#define CURRENT_TASK_PID CURRENT_SUB "4"
#define CURRENT_TASK_GID CURRENT_SUB "5"
#define CURRENT_TASK_UID CURRENT_SUB "6"
#define CURRENT_TASK_FSUID CURRENT_SUB "7"
#define CURRENT_TASK_FSGID CURRENT_SUB "8"
/* add more as necessary */

#endif /* __ASM_GENERIC_CURRENT_H */
