I'm trying to use encryption inside a virtual machine. The problem is that the AES-NI doesn't seem to be passed to the guest virtual machine.I have Vt-x enabled.This is my host cpuinfo:processor       : 0vendor_id       : GenuineIntelcpu family      : 6model           : 42model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHzstepping        : 7cpu MHz         : 1600.000cache size      : 8192 KBphysical id     : 0siblings        : 8core id         : 0cpu cores       : 4apicid          : 0initial apicid  : 0fpu             : yesfpu_exception   : yescpuid level     : 13wp              : yesflags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall nx rdtscp lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good nopl xtopology nonstop_tsc aperfmperf pni pclmulqdq dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx smx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm sse4_1 sse4_2 x2apic popcnt aes xsave avx lahf_lm ida arat epb xsaveopt pln pts dts tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority ept vpidbogomips        : 6801.03clflush size    : 64cache_alignment : 64address sizes   : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtualpower management:This is my guest cpuinfo:processor       : 0vendor_id       : GenuineIntelcpu family      : 6model           : 42model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHzstepping        : 7cpu MHz         : 3399.615cache size      : 6144 KBphysical id     : 0siblings        : 2core id         : 0cpu cores       : 2apicid          : 0initial apicid  : 0fpu             : yesfpu_exception   : yescpuid level     : 5wp              : yesflags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx lm constant_tsc rep_good nopl pni ssse3 lahf_lmbogomips        : 6799.23clflush size    : 64cache_alignment : 64address sizes   : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtualpower management:Am I missing some configuration option? Or is this a problem of Virtualbox?
AES-NI not passed to guest in Virtualbox
virtual machine;virtualbox;encryption;i386
That's the normal state in Virtualbox, see here.
