Why I did it
In the voq chassis the buffer_queue configuration needs to be applied on system_port instead of the sonic port.
This PR has the change to do this.
How I did it
Modify buffer_config.j2 to generate buffer_queue configuration on system_ports if the device is Voq Chassis
How to verify it
Verify the buffer_queue configuration is generated properly using sonic-cfggen

Debian is shipping a systemd timer unit for logrotate, but we're also
packaging in a cron job, which means both of them will run, potentially
at the same time. Remove our cron file, and add an override to the
shipped timer file to have it be run every 10 minutes.
Fixes#12392.

Why I did it
The PR is to apply separated DSCP_TO_TC_MAP and TC_TO_QUEUE_MAP to uplink ports on dualtor.
The traffic with DSCP 2 and DSCP 6 from T1 is treated as lossless traffic.
DSCP TC Queue
2 2 2
6 6 6
Traffic with DSCP 2 or DSCP 6 from downlink is still treated as lossy traffic as before.
How I did it
Define DSCP_TO_TC_MAP|AZURE_UPLINK and TC_TO_QUEUE_MAP|AZURE_UPLINK.

Verified by coping the new template to a testbed, and rendering a config_db.json
Why I did it
The current lazy installer relies on a filename sort for both unpack and configuration steps. When systemd services are configured [started] by multiple packages the order is by filename not by the declared package dependencies. This can cause the start order of services to differ between first-boot and subsequent boots. Declared systemd service dependencies further exacerbate the issue (e.g. blocking the first-boot script).
The current installer leaves packages un-configured if the package dependency order does not match the filename order.
This also fixes a trivial bug in [Build]: Support to use symbol links for lazy installation targets to reduce the image size #10923 where externally downloaded dependencies are duplicated across lazy package device directories.
How I did it
Changed the staging and first-boot scripts to use apt-get:
dpkg -i /host/image-$SONIC_VERSION/platform/$platform/*.deb
becomes
apt-get -y install /host/image-$SONIC_VERSION/platform/$platform/*.deb
when dependencies are detected during image staging.
How to verify it
Apt-get critical rules
Add a Depends= to the control information of a package. Grep the syslog for rc.local between images and observe the configuration order of packages change.

Why I did it
BGP service has always been starting after interface-config. However, recently we discovered an issue where some BGP sessions are unable to establish due to BGP daemon not able to read the interface IP.
This issue was clearly observed after upgrading to FRR 8.2.2. See more details in #12380.
How I did it
Delaying starting BGP seems to be a workaround for this issue.
However, caution is that this delay might impact warm reboot timing and other timing sequences.
This workaround is reducing the probability of hitting the issue by close to 100X. However, this workaround is not bulletproof as test shows. It is still preferrable to have a proper FRR fix and revert this change in the future.
How to verify it
Continuously issuing config reload and check BGP session status afterwards.

- Why I did it
interfaces-config service restarts networking service, during the restart loopback interface address is being removed and reassigned back, leaving loopback without an ipv4 address for a while.
On SONiC startup and config reload interfaces-config and bgp services start in parallel and sometimes
fpmsyncd in bgp attempts bind to loopback while it does not have an address, fails with the log
Exception "Cannot assign requested address" had been thrown in daemon
and exits with rc 0.

Multi-asic Docker instances are created behind Docker's default bridge
which doesn't allow talking to other Docker instances that are in the
host network (like database-chassis).
On linecards, we configure midplane interfaces to let per-asic docker
containers talk to CHASSIS_DB on the supervisor through internal chassis
network.
On the supervisor we don't need to use chassis internal network, but we
still need a similar setup in order to allow fabric containers to talk
to database-chassis

Support Mellanox-SN4600C-C64 as T1 switch in dual-ToR scenario
This is to port #11032 and #11299 from 202012 to master.
Support additional queue and PG in buffer templates, including both traditional and dynamic model
Support mapping DSCP 2/6 to lossless traffic in the QoS template.
Add macros to generate additional lossless PG in the dynamic model
Adjust the order in which the generic/dedicated (with additional lossless queues) macros are checked and called to generate buffer tables in common template buffers_config.j2
Buffer tables are rendered via using macros.
Both generic and dedicated macros are defined on our platform. Currently, the generic one is called as long as it is defined, which causes the generic one always being called on our platform. To avoid it, the dedicated macrio is checked and called first and then the generic ones.
Support MAP_PFC_PRIORITY_TO_PRIORITY_GROUP on ports with additional lossless queues.
On Mellanox-SN4600C-C64, buffer configuration for t1 is calculated as:
40 * 100G downlink ports with 4 lossless PGs/queues, 1 lossy PG, and 3 lossy queues
16 * 100G uplink ports with 2 lossless PGs/queues, 1 lossy PG, and 5 lossy queues

Why I did it
This PR is to add a flag to control whether to generate PORT_QOS_MAP|global entry or not.
It's because for some HWSKU, such as BackEndToRRouter and BackEndLeafRouter, there is no DSCP_TO_TC_MAP defined.
Hence, if the PORT_QOS_MAP|global entry is generated, OA will report some error because the DSCP_TO_TC_MAP map AZURE can not be found.

How I did it
Add a flag require_global_dscp_to_tc_map to control whether to generate the PORT_QOS_MAP|global entry. The default value for require_global_dscp_to_tc_map is true. If the device type is storage backend, the value is changed to false. Then the PORT_QOS_MAP|global entry is not generated.
How to verify it
Update the current test_qos_dscp_remapping_render_template to cover storage backend.
Why I did it
Storage backend has all vlan members tagged. If untagged packets are received on those links, they are accounted as RX_DROPS which can lead to false alarms in monitoring tools. Using this acl to hide these drops.

Manually Verification-
1. Enable the feature, using the new sonic-cli command passw-hardening or manually add the password hardening table like shown in HLD by using redis-cli command
2. Change password policies manually like in step 1.

password hardening CLI can be found in sonic-utilities repo-
P.R: Add support for Password Hardening sonic-utilities#2121
code config path: config/plugins/sonic-passwh_yang.py
code show path: show/plugins/sonic-passwh_yang.py
3. Create a new user (using adduser command) or modify an existing password by using passwd command in the terminal. And it will now request a strong password instead of default linux policies.

Add lossy PG profile for PG2 and PG6 on T1 for ports between T1 and T2.
After PR Update qos config to clear queues for bounced back traffic #10176 , the DSCP_TO_TC_MAP and TC_TO_PG_MAP is updated when remapping is enable
DSCP_TO_TC_MAP
Before After Why do this change
"2" : "1" "2" : "2" Only change for leaf router to map DSCP 2 to TC 2 as TC 2 will be used for lossless TC
"6" : "1" "6" : "6" Only change for leaf router to map DSCP 6 to TC 6 as TC 6 will be used for lossless TC
TC_TO_PRIORITY_GROUP_MAP
Before After Why do this change
"2" : "0" "2" : "2" Only change for leaf router to map TC 2 to PG 2 as PG 2 will be used for lossless PG
"6" : "0" "6" : "6" Only change for leaf router to map TC 6 to PG 6 as PG 6 will be used for lossless PG
So, we have two new lossy PGs (2 and 6) for the T2 facing ports on T1, and two new lossless PGs (2 and 6) for the T0 facing port on T1.
However, there is no lossy PG profile for the T2 facing ports on T1. The lossless PGs for ports between T1 and T0 have been handled by buffermgrd .Therefore, We need to add lossy PG profiles for T2 facing ports on T1.
We don't have this issue on T0 because PG 2 and PG 6 are lossless PGs, and there is no lossy traffic mapped to PG 2 and PG 6
Map port level TC7 to PG0
Before the PCBB change, DSCP48 -> TC 6 -> PG 0.
After the PCBB change, DSCP48 -> TC 7 -> PG 7
Actually, we can map TC7 to PG0 to save a lossy PG.

Why I did it
Support to use symbol links in platform folder to reduce the image size.
The current solution is to copy each lazy installation targets (xxx.deb files) to each of the folders in the platform folder. The size will keep growing when more and more packages added in the platform folder. For cisco-8000 as an example, the size will be up to 2G, while most of them are duplicate packages in the platform folder.
How I did it
Create a new folder in platform/common, all the deb packages are copied to the folder, any other folders where use the packages are the symbol links to the common folder.
Why platform.tar?
We have implemented a patch for it, see #10775, but the problem is the the onie use really old unzip version, cannot support the symbol links.
The current solution is similar to the PR 10775, but make the platform folder into a tar package, which can be supported by onie. During the installation, the package.tar will be extracted to the original folder and removed.

What/Why I did:
Issue1: By setting up of ipvlan interface in interface-config.sh we are not tolerant to failures. Reason being interface-config.service is one-shot and do not have restart capability.
Scenario: For example if let's say database service goes in fail state then interface-services also gets failed because of dependency check but later database service gets restart but interface service will remain in stuck state and the ipvlan interface nevers get created.
Solution: Moved all the logic in database service from interface-config service which looks more align logically also since the namespace is created here and all the network setting (sysctl) are happening here.With this if database starts we recreate the interface.
Issue 2: Use of IPVLAN vs MACVLAN
Currently we are using ipvlan mode. However above failure scenario is not handle correctly by ipvlan mode. Once the ipvlan interface is created and ip address assign to it and if we restart interface-config or database (new PR) service Linux Kernel gives error "Error: Address already assigned to an ipvlan device." based on this:https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ipvlan/ipvlan_main.c#L978Reason being if we do not do cleanup of ip address assignment (need to be unique for IPVLAN) it remains in Kernel Database and never goes to free pool even though namespace is deleted.
Solution: Considering this hard dependency of unique ip macvlan mode is better for us and since everything is managed by Linux Kernel and no dependency for on user configured IP address.
Issue3: Namespace database Service do not check reachability to Supervisor Redis Chassis Server.
Currently there is no explicit check as we never do Redis PING from namespace to Supervisor Redis Chassis Server. With this check it's possible we will start database and all other docker even though there is no connectivity and will hit the error/failure late in cycle
Solution: Added explicit PING from namespace that will check this reachability.
Issue 4:flushdb give exception when trying to accces Chassis Server DB over Unix Sokcet.
Solution: Handle gracefully via try..except and log the message.
Why I did it
At present, there is no mechanism in an event driven model to know that the system is up with all the essential sonic services and also, all the docker apps are ready along with port ready status to start the network traffic. With the asynchronous architecture of SONiC, we will not be able to verify if the config has been applied all the way down to the HW. But we can get the closest up status of each app and arrive at the system readiness.
How I did it
A new python based system monitor tool is introduced under system-health framework to monitor all the essential system host services including docker wrapper services on an event based model and declare the system is ready. This framework gives provision for docker apps to notify its closest up status. CLIs are provided to fetch the current system status and also service running status and its app ready status along with failure reason if any.
How to verify it
"show system-health sysready-status" click CLI
Syslogs for system ready
Why I did it
The image size is too large, when there are multiple lazy packages and multiple platforms. It is not necessary to keep the lazy installation packages in multiple copies.
For cisco image, the image size will reduce from 3.5G to 1.7G.
How I did it
Use symbol links to only keep one package for each of the lazy package.
Make a new folder fsroot/platform/common
Copy the lazy packages into the folder.
When using a package in each of the platform, such as x86_64-grub, x86_64-8800_rp-r0, x86_64-8201_on-r0, etc, only make a symbol link to the package in the common folder.
