@penalvch: sorry, I didn't notice the model isn't shown anywhere... It's an HP laptop, HP pavilion dv6-6174la.

I tried killing gdb as root from another terminal, by running "killall gdb", but killall got stuck, too. pidof and ps also got stuck... This is the line referenced in the error message: http://lxr.free- electrons.com/source/mm/memory.c?v=4.2#L3146 , I'm not sure if Ubuntu runs a modified version of this file, though. Also, I'm not sure if this affects Wily (I guess it does) or if this has been patched upstream. There is a similar bug report here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1296505 , but it doesn't involve gdb. Should I report this bug upstream?
