hey, could it be that this -513 is actually -ERESTARTNOINTR?
if so, that would be a good explanation why it hangs.
- copy_process() checks for pending signals, then set retval =
-ERESTARTNOINTR and returns.
- handle_signal has the following code:
case -ERESTARTNOINTR:
regs->rax = regs->orig_rax;
regs->rip -= 2;
break;
looks like it will keep trying to reenter the syscall forever,
subtracting 2 from ip will restart the syscall. by some reason the
signal is never really handled.
