(I'm ignoring the questionable practicality of this)

People have gone to great lengths not to reveal sensitive addresses
from ring 0, %rsp/%rbp being subject to this restriction. If you
configure your kernel to expose full /dev/mem (CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=n),
then using the image for your running kernel and with a bit of DWARF
knowledge, I _think_ it's possible to list the current running threads
and their contexts (ie. CPU registers). Otherwise, I don't believe
there's any way you can achieve this, other than exploiting a bug. :-)
