Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is a security feature implemented in modern operating systems that helps protect the kernel, or supervisor mode, from being accessed by user mode applications. It is designed to prevent user-mode applications from executing certain types of operations that could compromise the integrity of the operating system and its kernel. The primary goal of SMAP is to reduce the attack surface of the kernel by restricting user-mode code from accessing kernel memory directly.
