The kernel does job scheduling and provides system calls. When a process is running, the kernel schedules its runtime - especially it assigns a PID to it - such information is stored inside the kernel address space, in data structures (e.g. inside a task struct). Thus, when a process calls the system call, the kernel just has to look in the task structure of the calling (i.e. currently running) process.
