I want to ask which function/system call can return the ID of the

Is this a useful question to ask? Your process could be scheduled at
any moment on any CPU, so the answer is not going to be meaningful,
since it could be wrong as soon as you get it.

It could even change _while_ you're getting it:
CPU0: running application
CPU0: int 0x80 (GetCPUID)
CPU0: getting "0", about to return to user mode
CPU0: hit by interrupt, forcing current process to reschedule
CPU1: resuming GetCPUID into user mode
CPU1: running application

Yes, indeed, I did write that ;-)
