This did not happen with earlier kernels. The code in sys_pselect7 looks a bit strange, in particular the variable "to" is initialized to NULL, then changed if a non-null timeout was passed in, but not used further. It needs to be passed to core_sys_select instead of &end_time. This bug was introduced by 8ff3e8e85fa6c312051134b3953e397feb639f51 ("select: switch select() and poll() over to hrtimers").
