function stack frames in the kernel

Hello,

I am wondering how the compiler divines which stack to use for function
calls and placement of locals and arguments when a function call is made
inside the kernel since the kernel has multiple call stacks. Are function
calls handled manually inside kernel code or is there something special
inside the compiler for handling this?

Thanks,

Carter
