How to capture process id and multi-thread for application from ARM hardware

Dear all,
I am make a simulator for ARM (Cortex-a9). I want to capture process id and multi-thread for applications run on Linux kernel by this simulator, but I don't have good idea to capture it. I thought about CP15.c13 (Context PID register) of ARM but it seems not true for PID from kernel. I also think that Arm hardware will manage PID by stack and capture stack pointer will help to capture PID and multi-thread, but it is very difficult for me to understand about it. Please help me to find a solution to capture them.
Thanks and best regard,
Parents

    This register is only loosely related to PID, and the mapping between PID and the value in this register is not a 1:1 mapping and time variant.

    As the previous poster said, PID is a software construct managed by the kernel, and not something which exists in the hardware directly.
