I think that ‘thread of instruction’ refers to just code and the way it flows round the functions, procedures, loops and conditionals. ‘Thread of control’ refers to execution by kernel thread with its own program counter/stack. One ‘thread of instruction’ can have many ‘threads of control’ executing its code.
