+4.37 KVM_GET_MP_STATE
+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_MP_STATE
+Architectures: x86, ia64
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_mp_state (out)
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
+
+struct kvm_mp_state {
+        __u32 mp_state;
+};
+
+Returns the vcpu's current "multiprocessing state" (though also valid on
+uniprocessor guests).
+
+Possible values are:
+
+ - KVM_MP_STATE_RUNNABLE:        the vcpu is currently running
+ - KVM_MP_STATE_UNINITIALIZED:   the vcpu is an application processor (AP)
+                                 which has not yet received an INIT signal
+ - KVM_MP_STATE_INIT_RECEIVED:   the vcpu has received an INIT signal, and is
+                                 now ready for a SIPI
+ - KVM_MP_STATE_HALTED:          the vcpu has executed a HLT instruction and
+                                 is waiting for an interrupt
+ - KVM_MP_STATE_SIPI_RECEIVED:   the vcpu has just received a SIPI (vector
+                                 accesible via KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS)
+
+This ioctl is only useful after KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP.  Without an in-kernel
+irqchip, the multiprocessing state must be maintained by userspace.

+Capability: KVM_CAP_MP_STATE
+Architectures: x86, ia64
+Type: vcpu ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_mp_state (in)
+Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error
+
+Sets the vcpu's current "multiprocessing state"; see KVM_GET_MP_STATE for
+arguments.
