Difference between Kernel mode and User mode in Operating System?
bt.o is the kernel mode driver. When you insmod bt.o you are inserting it into the kernel, where it can cause bad things to happen if it screws up. btduser is the user mode driver. It runs as an application in user space, where usually the worse thing that can happen is a segfault. You don't have to insmod anything for user mode. You just run the application.

Difference between user mode and supervising mode?
Supervising mode is what system kernel runs in. It has unrestricted access to hardware, processor, memory and everything else. User mode is managed by supervisor mode, so programs can't crash other programs deliberately by writing over their memory. User mode programs communicate with hardware and kernel itself by system calls.

Difference between kernel mode and user mode?
Kernel ModeIn Kernel mode, the executing code has complete and unrestricted access to the underlying hardware. It can execute any CPU instruction and reference any memory address. Kernel mode is generally reserved for the lowest-level, most trusted functions of the operating system. Crashes in kernel mode are catastrophic; they will halt the entire PC.User ModeIn User mode, the executing code has no ability to directly access hardware or reference memory. Code running in user mode must delegate to system APIs to access hardware or memory. Due to the protection afforded by this sort of isolation, crashes in user mode are always recoverable. Most of the code running on your computer will execute in user mode.
