[Note that 0x40000 is 256KiB, which is rather large and likely to cause
noticeable fragmentation of address space.]
Notice that all those files are from /usr/include/valgrind/vki/.
Your compilation environment apparently lacked the definitions
that correspond to the target hardware [these for x86_64]:
-----
/usr/include/bits/shm.h:#define SHM_RND 020000 /* round attach
address to SHMLBA */
/usr/include/bits/shm.h:#define SHMLBA (__getpagesize ())
/usr/include/linux/shm.h:#define SHM_RND 020000 /* round attach
address to SHMLBA boundary */
/usr/include/asm-generic/shmparam.h:#define SHMLBA PAGE_SIZE /* attach addr
a multiple of this */

Well, what is VKI_PAGE_SHIFT; and does one of {vki-mips32-linux.h,
vki-mips64-linux.h}
actually apply to the target machine?

Some of the blame belongs to you and the marketing/sales/support team
that sold you the chips. Sometimes inexpensive hardware is *TOO* cheap!
In this case it looks like Cavium (cnMIPS) is an architectural variant
that does not have all the properties previously promised by MIPS.
Also, successful cross-compiling requires setting the declarations
and #includes correctly. Nothing in the valgrind source can prevent
operator error in this department.
Therefore: arrange for the proper definitions of VKI_PAGE_SHIFT and VKI_SHMLBA,
and tell us the numerical values. (Write a test program which prints them!)
If valgrind attempts MAP_FIXED at an address such as 0x802001000 which is not
a multiple of the hardware page size (apparently 8KiB) then that is a clue
that the compilation environment is not correct. If necessary, edit the
definitions by hand _after_ performing "automatic configuration" and
_before_ compiling.
Look carefully at ARM:
/usr/include/valgrind/vki/vki-arm-linux.h:#define VKI_SHMLBA (4 *
VKI_PAGE_SIZE)
which does work, and contrast with your case.
