Your problem comes from a problem on VirtualBox
itself to perform this operation. As you can see in this link, more specifically in this lines:
if (packet->support != PACKET_ENABLE)
error (_("Target does not support branch tracing."));
This problem is explained here.
But VirtualBox does NOT
emulate certain debugging features of modern x86 CPUs like branch target
store or performance counters.
My best guess is to install some other VirtualBox
features that allow you to perform such operations, or switch to a new virtual environment.
I'll keep searching for information.
