If you look at src/arch/alpha/linux/system.cc there in a class called 
PrintThreadInfo. This pretty much does what you want assuming you're using our 
kernel or a kernel built from our patch queue. M5 sets an event on the kernel 
alpha_switch_to function and when that is executed it uses the kernel stack to 
figure out what the running process/tid is. You'll need to remove the false 
from the if statement that creates the event around line 139 for this to work.
