configfs-tsm-report: Increase TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX to 16MB
Confidential Computing (CoCo) attestation is evolving toward standardized models such as DICE (Device Identifier Composition Engine) and Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which rely on layered certificate chains and larger cryptographic signatures. A typical PQC certificate can range from 5KB to 15KB, and DICE-based architectures accumulate these certificates across multiple boot stages. In such configurations, the total attestation evidence can reach several megabytes, exceeding the current 32KB limit. Increase TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX to 16MB to accommodate these larger certificate chains. This provides sufficient headroom to handle evolving requirements without requiring frequent updates to the limit. TSM_REPORT_OUTBLOB_MAX is used by the configfs read interface to cap the maximum allowed binary blob size for outblob, auxblob and manifestblob attributes. Hence, the per-open-file worst case memory allocation increases from 32KB to 16MB. Multiple concurrent readers multiply this cost (e.g., N readers of an M-byte blob incur NxM bytes of vmalloc-backed memory). However, allocations are performed on demand and remain proportional to the actual blob length, not the configured maximum.
