Is there something in the dmesg output? In case it tries to execute an
unsupported ioctl/syscall it should show up there. If not I suggest to
give 8.x a try, it has an improved linuxulator.

I think this is more emualtion related, than SHM.

Do not expect much to happen on 7.x. 8.x may be possible, as there is
similar code in HEAD as in 8.x, but 7.x is too much different. Apart
from that: you could try dtrace.

As it is simulation related, the person who wants to try it needs to
have knowledge of circuit design at least to a degree, that he can
prodoce something to simulate... isn't it?
