If you want to see the userland "stub", then do a "make world" and 
pipe the output into a file, then look at how "libc" is built.

If you want to find the kernel function you can usually do this:

   cd /usr/src/sys ; grep ^functioname */*

yes, the '^' is there on purpose.

You can also look at some tools like cscope or gtags to index the
code for you.
