Added a check for DEVICE_METADATA before accessing the data. This prevents the j2 failure when var is not available.
Why I did it
There is no reason to build deb package ethtool from source code.
We can install the same version from Debian bullseye mirror.
How I did it
Remove ethtool Makefiles from sonic-buildimage.
Install ethtool via apt-get in pmon container.
#### Why I did it
To fix the timezone sync issue between the containers and the host. If a certain timezone has been configured on the host (SONIC) then the expectation is to reflect the same across all the containers.
This will fix [Issue:13046](https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/issues/13046).
For instance, a PST timezone has been set on the host and if the user checks the link flap logs (inside the FRR), it shows the UTC timestamp. Ideally, it should be PST.
if there is no request, you need to use curl to get data from bmc, and each query needs to start a curl process. pmon is a circular query, which will pull up multiple processes in a loop, which consumes a lot. Using request does not need to pull up the process.

- Why I did it
Part of larger effort to move all SONiC systems to bullseye
- How I did it
1. Update container makefiles with correct dependencies
2. Update container Dockerfile with correct base image
3. Update container Dockerfile with correct apt dependencies
4. Update any other makefiles with dependencies to remove python2 support
5. Minor changes to support bullseye / python3
- How to verify it
Run regression on the switch:
1. Verify PTF community tests work
2. Verify syncd runs and all ports come up / pass traffic
3. Verify all platform tests succeed
Currently, the build dockers are created as a user dockers(docker-base-stretch-<user>, etc) that are
specific to each user. But the sonic dockers (docker-database, docker-swss, etc) are
created with a fixed docker name and common to all the users.
docker-database:latest
docker-swss:latest
When multiple builds are triggered on the same build server that creates parallel building issue because
all the build jobs are trying to create the same docker with latest tag.
This happens only when sonic dockers are built using native host dockerd for sonic docker image creation.
This patch creates all sonic dockers as user sonic dockers and then, while
saving and loading the user sonic dockers, it rename the user sonic
dockers into correct sonic dockers with tag as latest.
docker-database:latest <== SAVE/LOAD ==> docker-database-<user>:tag
The user sonic docker names are derived from 'DOCKER_USERNAME and DOCKER_USERTAG' make env
variable and using Jinja template, it replaces the FROM docker name with correct user sonic docker name for
loading and saving the docker image.
Removed python2 support for sonic-platform-daemons that was causing unit
test errors in sonic_pcied.
* Removed config from docker supervisord jinja templates per VD review comment
* Removed space and python3 per QL comments
Why I did it
Code review was still in progress when #9858 was merged and upon further testing I have arrived at a better solution.
How I did it
Modified supervisord configuration j2 template for pmon to require no minimum uptime for chassisd_db_init and to remove the redundant exit_codes directive
How to verify it
Boot switch and verify in syslog that there are no errors related to chassis_db_init
- Why I did it
Error log was shown on switches during boot
pmon#supervisord 2021-12-22 04:27:16,709 INFO exited: chassis_db_init (exit status 0; not expected)
- How I did it
Add exit code zero as an expected exit code and also disable autorestart.
- How to verify it
Boot the switch and ensure the above log line does not appear.
* [y_cable] Support for initialization of new Daemon ycable to support
ycables
This PR also adds the commit in sonic-platform-daemons
94fa239 [y_cable] refactor y_cable to a seperate logic and new daemon from xcvrd (#219)
Why I did it
This PR separates the logic of Y-Cable from xcvrd. Before this change we were utilizing xcvrd daemon to control all aspects of Y-Cable right from initialization to processing requests from other entities like orch,linkmgr.
Now we would have another daemon ycabled which will serve this purpose.
Logically everything still remains the same from the perspective of other daemons.
it also take care aspects like init/delete daemon from Y-Cable perspective.
How I did it
To serve the purpose we build a new wheel sonic_ycabled-1.0-py3-none-any.whl and install it inside pmon.
We also initalize the daemon ycabled which serves our purpose for refactor inside pmon

"chassis_db_init" task of PMON should be skipped on Mellanox simx platform, since the hardware info which this task is trying to access is not available on simx platforms, It will introduce some error log.
How I did it
Add the capability for "chassis_db_init" in the template for it can be skipped by adding configuration in "pmon_daemon_control.json".
add "skip_chassis_db_init" configuration for simx platforms.
use symbol link for "pmon_daemon_control.json" since all the simx platforms share the same configuration
How to verify it
Build an image and install it on simx platform to check whether "chassis_db_init" task is skipped.

#### Why I did it
ethtool can be used to query and change settings such as speed, auto- negotiation and checksum offload on many network devices, especially Ethernet devices.
#### How I did it

#### Why I did it
The libpci library provides portable access to configuration registers of devices connected to the PCI bus.
#### How I did it
update dockers/docker-platform-monitor/Dockerfile.j2
I added `chassis_db_init` to the startup tasks for the `docker-platform-monitor` docker so that the script is run on startup of the switch and the chassis info is correctly provisioned to STATE_DB.

fuser support is required since new cisco hardware watchdog plugin uses them to check anyone else use's /dev/watchdogX resource. The actual validation happens in the platform code, but the package is required for pmon container. Currently the /dev/watchdogX is being used by cisco platform-monitor service. Cisco chassis level watchdog plugin uses "fuser" to claim the watchdog release from platform-monitor service.
#### Why I did it
MSN4700 A1/A0 used different sensor chip but keep the existing platform name *x86_64-mlnx_msn4700-r0*, this is a workaround to replace the sensor conf on MSN4700 A1/A0
#### How I did it
Use a shell script to get the sensor conf path and copy that files to /etc/sensors.d/sensors.conf

Ledd is the last daemon that is not enabled to run in python3.
Even though there is a plan to deprecate this daemon and to replace it by something else it's one simple step toward python2 deprecation.
**- How I did it**
Changed the `command=` line for `ledd` in the `supervisord` configuration of `pmon`.
Copied what was done for other daemons.
**- How to verify it**
Booting a product that has a `led_control.py` should now show the ledd running in python3.
I ran `python3 -m pylint` on all `led_control.py` plugin which means that most of them should be python3 compliant.
There is however still a risk that some might not work.
- Why I did it
Initially, we used Monit to monitor critical processes in each container. If one of critical processes was not running
or crashed due to some reasons, then Monit will write an alerting message into syslog periodically. If we add a new process
in a container, the corresponding Monti configuration file will also need to update. It is a little hard for maintenance.
Currently we employed event listener of Supervisod to do this monitoring. Since processes in each container are managed by
Supervisord, we can only focus on the logic of monitoring.
- How I did it
We borrowed the event listener of Supervisord to monitor critical processes in containers. The event listener will take
following steps if it was notified one of critical processes exited unexpectedly:
The event listener will first check whether the auto-restart mechanism was enabled for this container or not. If auto-restart mechanism was enabled, event listener will kill the Supervisord process, which should cause the container to exit and subsequently get restarted.
If auto-restart mechanism was not enabled for this contianer, the event listener will enter a loop which will first sleep 1 minute and then check whether the process is running. If yes, the event listener exits. If no, an alerting message will be written into syslog.
- How to verify it
First, we need checked whether the auto-restart mechanism of a container was enabled or not by running the command show feature status. If enabled, one critical process should be selected and killed manually, then we need check whether the container will be restarted or not.
Second, we can disable the auto-restart mechanism if it was enabled at step 1 by running the commnad sudo config feature autorestart <container_name> disabled. Then one critical process should be selected and killed. After that, we will see the alerting message which will appear in the syslog every 1 minute.

2. Install and run python3 version pmon daemons
**- How I did it**

As part of migrating SONiC codebase from Python 2 to Python 3
**- How I did it**
- No longer install Python 2 in docker-base-buster or docker-config-engine-buster.
- Install Python 2 and pip2 in the following containers until we can completely eliminate it there:
- docker-platform-monitor
- docker-sonic-mgmt-framework
- docker-sonic-vs
- Pin pip2 version <21 where it is still temporarily needed, as pip version 21 will drop support for Python 2
- Also preform some other cleanup, ensuring that pip3, setuptools and wheel packages are installed in docker-base-buster, and then removing any attempts to re-install them in derived containers
* First cut image update for kubernetes support.
With this,
1) dockers dhcp_relay, lldp, pmon, radv, snmp, telemetry are enabled
for kube management
init_cfg.json configure set_owner as kube for these
2) Each docker's start.sh updated to call container_startup.py to register going up
As part of this call, it registers the current owner as local/kube and its version
The images are built with its version ingrained into image during build
3) Update all docker's bash script to call 'container start/stop/wait' instead of 'docker start/stop/wait'.
For all locally managed containers, it calls docker commands, hence no change for locally managed.
4) Introduced a new ctrmgrd service, that helps with transition between owners as kube & local and carry over any labels update from STATE-DB to API server
5) hostcfgd updated to handle owner change
6) Reboot scripts are updatd to tag kube running images as local, so upon reboot they run the same image.
7) Added kube_commands.py to handle all updates with Kubernetes API serrver -- dedicated for k8s interaction only.

Introducing chassisd process to monitor status of the control, line and fabric cards in a modular chassis.
- Why I did it
Modular Chassis has control-cards, line-cards and fabric-cards along with other peripherals. Chassisd will be a central entity that has visibility of the entire chassis.
- How I did it
Chassisd process will monitor cards in the main thread. Another configuation_handling_task is created to listen to CONFIG_DB for admin_status up/down events. The monitored status is persisted in REDIS-DB.
Barefoot platform vendors' sonic_platform packages import the Python 'thrift' library. Previously, our custom-built package was being installed in the PMon container and host OS. However, we are only building a Python 2 version of that package, which was only intended for use with saithrift.
Fixes#6077
**- Why I did it**
We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
This change introduces PDDF which is described here: https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/pull/536
Most of the platform bring up effort goes in developing the platform device drivers, SONiC platform APIs and validating them. Typically each platform vendor writes their own drivers and platform APIs which is very tailor made to that platform. This involves writing code, building, installing it on the target platform devices and testing. Many of the details of the platform are hard coded into these drivers, from the HW spec. They go through this cycle repetitively till everything works fine, and is validated before upstreaming the code.
PDDF aims to make this platform driver and platform APIs development process much simpler by providing a data driven development framework. This is enabled by:
JSON descriptor files for platform data
Generic data-driven drivers for various devices
Generic SONiC platform APIs
Vendor specific extensions for customisation and extensibility

Recent changes to dependencies caused the 'enum34' package to cease being installed for Python 2 in the PMon container. This broke Arista platforms, where the Arista sonic_platform package imports 'enum'. This is because on Arista devices, the sonic_platform wheel is not installed in the container. Instead, the installation directory is mounted from the host OS. However, this method doesn't ensure all dependencies are installed in the container.
On Arista platforms, sonic_platform packages are not installed in the PMon container, but are rather mounted into the container from the host OS. Therefore, pip show sonic_platform will fail in the PMon container. This change will first check if we can import sonic_platform. If this fails, it will then fall back to checking if the package is installed. If both fail, it will attempt to install the package.
