Title: [Feature] CNL:Enable ROP Heuristics Status in intel: New Bug description: In modern programming language the caller return address is pushed into the stack. When callee function exits the return address is 'popped' out of the stack and caller continue executing. This potentially creates security issues since the return address could be modified by malicious code. When enabled, the CET/ROP Heuristics automatically saves the return address in processor-internal memory. When a function exits by executing the "ret" instruction, the processor automatically compares the address stored in its internal memory against the address popped from the stack. If there is a mismatch, the processor generates GP fault, signalling/stopping the program and potentially alerting the sysadmin.
