Who controls the process control block(PCB)?

Recently, I have learnt about kernel and find a question that who controls the process control block(PCB)?The kernel or the process itself? Does it differ in different platform (windows/Linux)? So far, I know PCB is controlled in hardware, but I can't get to the right answer.

OS tracks all necessary information about each process running in the system in PCB. Process Control Block is a data structure representing a process in the OS.

Process control Block PCB is specially defined in the core of the OS for each process.

How can I solder an SMD component with a pad on the bottom?

I am getting a PCB manufactured for a project that I am working on. One of the parts, the A4950 motor driver, has a “pad” on the bottom, which is meant to be soldered to GND of the PCB for thermal dissipation. I was thinking about the prototyping, and I am unsure how I would go about (using a soldering iron), soldering the pad on the bottom.
