For that I recommend a tool called sloccount [1]...

BTW, running it now against Linux Kernel source I got:

Totals grouped by language (dominant language first):
ansic:     16675070 (97.83%)
asm:         294179 (1.73%)
perl:         26346 (0.15%)
sh:           18781 (0.11%)
python:       15642 (0.09%)
cpp:           6512 (0.04%)
yacc:          4586 (0.03%)
lex:           2479 (0.01%)
awk:           1387 (0.01%)
pascal:         231 (0.00%)
sed:              5 (0.00%)
Total Physical Source Lines of Code (SLOC)                = 17,045,218
