Presumably, your emacs process is toasted. It happens once in a while,
later emacs versions is not entirely as robust as they used to be.

Try taking a look on the process with strace, you may find that emacs
is in rather tight loop apparently doing nothing else but calling
gettimeofday or something similar.

You can try hitting C-g which may break out of whatever emacs is
doing, but it may also very well be that you need to kill the process
and start a fresh emacs.

Another variation is that emacs is hanging on some "futex" call but
then it hangs and you would not see the CPU consumption that you are
seeing.
