I would do it this way (untested):

ENTRY(kernel_thread_helper)
CFI_STARTPROC
movl %edx,%eax
pushl %edx
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
call *%ebx
pushl %eax
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
call do_exit
CFI_ENDPROC
ENDPROC(kernel_thread_helper)

(i.e. tracking the stack pointer movement, but not the register values
other than the return address)
