Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP) is a new security feature disclosed by Intel, please refer to the following document: http://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/319433-014.pdf If CR4.SMAP = 1, supervisor-mode data accesses are not allowed to linear addresses that are accessible in user mode. If CPL < 3, SMAP protections are disabled if EFLAGS.AC = 1. If CPL = 3, SMAP applies to all supervisor-mode data accesses (these are implicit supervisor accesses) regardless of the value of EFLAGS.AC. This patch enables SMAP in Xen to prevent Xen hypervisor from accessing pv guest data, whose translation paging-structure entries' U/S flags are all set.

xen-bugtool =========== The xen-bugtool command line application will collate the Xen dmesg output, details of the hardware configuration of your machine, information about the build of Xen that you are using, plus, if you allow it, various logs. The information collated can either be posted to a Xen Bugzilla bug (this bug must already exist in the system, and you must be a registered user there), or it can be saved as a .tar.bz2 for sending or archiving. The collated logs may contain private information, and if you are at all worried about that, you should not use this tool, or you should explicitly exclude those logs from the archive. xen-bugtool is wholly interactive, so simply run it, and answer the questions.
