📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe BTBTAGE branch predictor's table allocation sizes are doubled from 2048 to 4096 entries per table across all eight tables, using a more compact notation for the parameter definition. Changes

In `@src/cpu/pred/BranchPredictor.py`:
- Line 1047: The inline comment that hardcodes "since tableIndexBits = log(2048)
= 11, RTL is 10" is now stale because tableSizes was changed to
VectorParam.Unsigned([4096] * 8); update that comment in btb_tage.cc to reflect
ceilLog2(4096) = 12 (e.g., "since tableIndexBits = log(4096) = 12, RTL is 11")
or remove the hardcoded numeric remark entirely and instead reference the
computed value (ceilLog2(tableSizes[i])) so the comment remains accurate when
tableSizes changes; look for references to tableSizes and
ceilLog2(tableSizes[i]) to place the corrected comment near the
indexFoldedHist/pcShift logic.

Update stale comment in btb_tage.cc:878 to reflect the new table size.
The comment // since tableIndexBits = log(2048) = 11, RTL is 10 at line 878 of btb_tage.cc now references an outdated value. With tableSizes changed to [4096] * 8, tableIndexBits will be ceilLog2(4096) = 12. Update the comment to reflect this (e.g., log(4096) = 12) or remove the hardcoded reference to maintain accuracy.
The C++ code correctly adapts downstream—tableIndexBits is computed dynamically via ceilLog2(tableSizes[i]) during initialization and propagates through indexFoldedHist width and pcShift calculations without further changes needed.
