In this chapter:
Chapter 16. "Sstc" Extension for Supervisor-mode Timer Interrupts, Version 1.0.0
I don't think this text should be there anymore
To make it easy to understand the deltas from the current Priv 1.11/1.12 specs, this is written as the
actual exact changes to be made to existing paragraphs of Priv spec text (or additional paragraphs
within the existing text).
and in these chapters:
3.1.18. Machine Environment Configuration (menvcfg) Register
18.2.5. Hypervisor Environment Configuration Register (henvcfg)
there is this text:
The definition of the STCE field will be furnished by the forthcoming Sstc extension. Its allocation
within [mh]envcfg may change prior to the....
Also the stce bit of Xenvcfg (which I was actually looking for when I found this) isn't mentioned in the Sstc chapter at all, so the definition of that field seems to be missing.
maybe it should be a different issue, but this is redundant too:
3.1.19. Machine Security Configuration (mseccfg) Register
redundant text:
The definitions of the RLB, MMWP, and MML fields will be furnished by the forthcoming PMP-
enhancement extension, Smepmp. Their allocations within mseccfg may change prior to the
ratification of that extension.
I believe @gfavor is aware that one of the many, many things on his to-do list is to better integrate the Sstc chapter. (Sstc is certainly not the only offender in this regard.)
