not sure what u mean. but i think what u are asking is how to find out at any point, when the CPU is stopped, which part of the kernel it is executing at that point, right? One way, how programmers can find that out is to do stack dump. The function is dump_stack() in the kernel source. but to understand the meaning of the stack dump, u need to know how the stack is organized, frame pointer and it usage by GCC, stack frame per function called, what is stack walking etc. Not really pertaining to kernel, but more on general computer science concepts.
