man kthread says:
The kthread_create() function is used to create a kernel thread. The new

runs in kernel mode only.
However, when i checked the pid & tid of the new created thread it was
not the same as the parent nor as the proc0 & thread0
I am not sure, but sharing another process's address space doesn't have
to imply it shares the same pid, right?
there was a change where kthread_create now actually produces new
THREADS in 8.0
but prior to that it produced new processes..
I THOUGHT that change happenned between 6 and 7 but maybe it was
between 7 and 8..
do you have a kproc man page?
on 8.0, see:
man kproc
man kthread
on 7.0 I think these will show nothing and you should do:
man kthread_create
