+//! This module provides helpers for Supervisor Mode Access Prevention (SMAP).
+//!
+//! SMAP is a security feature that helps prevent accidental accesses to user
+//! memory by a kernel. This feature can be enabled by setting
+//! [`Cr4Flags::SUPERVISOR_MODE_ACCESS_PREVENTION`]. Once enabled, accesses to
+//! user memory by the kernel will generate a page fault (#PF) unless the
+//! [`RFlags::ALIGNMENT_CHECK`] bit is set.
+//!
+//! The `stac` and `clac` instructions can be used to efficiently update the
+//! `ALIGNMENT_CHECK` flag.
+//!
+//! Not all processors support SMAP.
