kernel_thread

Hi,

I am not an OS guy and trying to learn some OS stuff. 
When we call kernel_thread(), with a function pointer, when is that function
called ? 
Does it preemt the thread calling the kernel_thread()  -OR-
the kernel just puts the new thread in run queue and runs it later based in
scheduling algorithm ?


Regards

ashoke.
