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.

What Others Are Asking

Can we do wave solder the through hole parts without masking it?

We would like to do wave soldering for the through hole components. All through hole components are top side of PCB. Only test points, which require mask during process, are on the bottom side. So there is a extra labour cost at adding and removing the mask. Can we do wave solder the through hole parts without masking it?
