Kernel threads are always created by the kernel, and they’re always in process group 0, so you can filter on that:
ps -e -o pid,ppid,pgid,args | awk '$3 == 0'
(There doesn’t seem to be a way of filtering on process group id in ps; in theory one could filter on session 0 but ps doesn’t like that.)
You can also look for processes whose parent is kthreadd, the kernel thread dæmon:
ps --pid 2 --ppid 2 -o pid,ppid,pgid,args
(including pid 2 and its children).

"Kernel threads are always created by the kernel" By "Kernel" do you mean the kernel and the kernel modules or just the kernel by itself (because I thinkkthread_create()is used by kernel modules to create kernel threads)?

Yes, both the kernel and kernel modules; I tend not to distinguish them since most modules can be built in, and once loaded, modules are effectively part of the kernel.

You could perhaps distinguish between threads started by the “core” kernel from those started by modules by looking atetimesinps.
