Executing shellcode in shared memory with mmap [duplicate]

I'm trying to place and execute program-code into a shared-memory region. Initializing and allocating the shared memory as well as copying the shellcode into the "new" memory works as intended, but as soon as I try to execute it, it doesn't work. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be?

I think that write(1, 0x6000d8, 13) = -1 EFAULT (Bad address)might be the error? What might be causing this?

I included the code and the stract error output. The C-code is based on an answer from Adam Rosenfield in this Question.

The C-Code

#include <string.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>

// My own shellcode, obtained through objdump
// works on its own (a hello world-program)
const char shellcode[] = "\xb8\x01\x00\x00\x00\xbf\x01\x00\x00\x00\x48\xbe\xd8\x00\x60\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xba\x0d\x00\x00\x00\x0f\x05\xb8\x3c\x00\x00\x00\xbf\x00\x00\x00\x00\x0f\x05";

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    void *mem = mmap(0, sizeof(shellcode), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

    memcpy(mem, shellcode, sizeof(shellcode));

    mprotect(mem, sizeof(shellcode), PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE|PROT_EXEC);

    int (*func)();
    func = (int (*)())mem;
    (int)(*func)();

    munmap(mem, sizeof(shellcode));

    return 0;
}

To apply the proposed duplicate to your code

When you inject this shell code, you don't know what is at message:

mov     rsi, msg

in the injected process, it can be anything but it will not be "Hello world!\r\n" since it is in the .data section

section .data
    msg db      "hello, world!"

while you dumped only the .text section.

You can see that your shell code doesn't have "Hello world!\r\n" (\x68\x65\x6c\x6c\x6f....)
