* [docker_image_ctl.j2]: swss docker initialization improvements
This commit attempts to address the following:
* Make sure swss container is indeed up and running before running any commands
on it. In case where swss container is not fully up when swss.sh attempts to
create swss:/ready file using "docker exec swss$DEV touch", the command can
fail silently and can cause swssconfig to wait forever leading to missing IP
decap configuration among other things. Add a wait so that docker commands
are run only after swss container status is "Running"
* Add a log when swss:/ready file is created or if the file creation fails so
that it becomes easier to debug such scenarios in the future
* [docker_image_ctl.j2]: Use swss$DEV to accommodate multi ASIC platforms as well

* [image_config]: Update DHCP rate-limit for mgmt TOR devices
Change DHCP rate limit(queue4,group3) in SONiC copp configuration to 300 PPS
for mgmt TORs while keeping the rate limit at 100 PPS for other topologies.
Why I did it:
Some mgmt TORs based on Marvell ASIC do not support 100 PPS CIR, so that led
to these devices silently dropping DHCP packets.
Microsoft ADO: **25820076**
How to verify it:
Send DHCP broadcast packets to an M0 DUT and verify that they are trapped to
CPU at 300 PPS. On non-mgmt devices, the packets should be trapped at CIR of
100 PPS. Also ran sonic-mgmt dhcp_relay test and confirmed that it passes.

Why I did it
SONiC Mgmt test syslog/test_syslog_rate_limit.py syslog.test_syslog_rate_limit test_syslog_rate_limit was failing on SKUs with gbsyncd. This includes Arista 720DT when testing on the 202305 branch.
How I did it
The issue was no value for gbsyncd in "show syslog rate-limit-container",
because gbsyncd is not having a SYSLOG_CONFIG_FEAGTURE|gbsyncd entry in
config_db, which is further because gbsyncd feature is for not enabled
through init_cfg.json.j2.
How to verify it
Test is now passing on 720DT in 202305 branch.

Fix can't access IPV6 address via management interface because 'default' route table does not add to route lookup issue.
#### Why I did it
When device set with IPV6 TACACS server address, and shutdown all BGP, device can't connect to TACACS server via management interface.
After investigation, I found the IPV6 'default' route table does not add to route lookup:
admin@vlab-01:~$ ip -6 rule list
1001: from all lookup local
32765: from fec0::ffff:afa:1 lookup default
32766: from all lookup main
admin@vlab-01:~$
As compare:
admin@vlab-01:~$ ip -4 rule list
1001: from all lookup local
32764: from all to 172.17.0.1/24 lookup default
32765: from 10.250.0.101 lookup default
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default <== 'default' route table exist in IPV4 route lookup
Issue fix by add 'default' route table to route lookup with following command:
admin@vlab-01:~$ sudo ip -6 rule add pref 32767 lookup default
admin@vlab-01:~$ ip -6 rule list
1001: from all lookup local
32765: from fec0::ffff:afa:1 lookup default
32766: from all lookup main
32767: from all lookup default <== 'default' route table been added to IPV6 route lookup

This commit adds support for pensando asic called ELBA. ELBA is used in pci based cards and in smartswitches.
#### Why I did it
This commit introduces pensando platform which is based on ELBA ASIC.
##### Work item tracking
- Microsoft ADO **(number only)**:
#### How I did it
Created platform/pensando folder and created makefiles specific to pensando.
This mainly creates pensando docker (which OEM's need to download before building an image) which has all the userspace to initialize and use the DPU (ELBA ASIC).
Output of the build process creates two images which can be used from ONIE and goldfw.
Recommendation is use to use ONIE.
#### How to verify it
Load the SONiC image via ONIE or goldfw and make sure the interfaces are UP.
##### Description for the changelog
Add pensando platform support.

What I did:
In Chassis TSA mode Loopback0 Ip's of each LC's should be advertise through e-BGP peers of each remote LC's
How I did:
- Route-map policy to Advertise own/self Loopback IP to other internal iBGP peers with a community internal_community as define in constants.yml
- Route-map policy to match on above internal_community when route is received from internal iBGP peers and set a internal tag as define in constants.yml and also delete the internal_community so we don't send to any of e-BGP peers
- In TSA new route-map match on above internal tag and permit the route (Loopback0 IP's of remote LC's) and set the community to traffic_shift_community.
- In TSB delete the above new route-map.

Microsoft ADO 25423918:
How I did it
Create telemetry image from gnmi docker image.
Enable gnmi container and disable telemetry container by default.
How to verify it
Run end to end test.
Why I did it
It was observed that a flood of DHCP packets without rate-limiting can cause BGP flaps or lacp keepalive losses.
This change attempts to prevent or reduce such BGP flaps by enabling appropriate rate-limiting in SONiC for all traffic types.
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO 17964421:
How I did it
Set a reasonable CIR/CBS value of 300 for queue4_group3 (dhcp, lldp, macsec) and 6000 for queue4_group1.
The value 300 was arrived at after testing with dhcp flooding using ptf (using multiple threads). Throttling at this rate was necessary to ensure that dhcp flooding does not cause BGP flaps.
How to verify it
Verified with this script running from ptf, that BGP flaps don't happen when CBS/CIR is set at 300 for queue4_group3.
import threading
from scapy.all import *
def send_dhcp_discover(intf):
dhcp_discover = Ether(dst='ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff',src=RandMAC()) \
/IP(src='1.1.1.1',dst='255.255.255.255') \
/UDP(sport=68,dport=67) \
/DHCP(options=[('message-type','discover'),('end')])
sendp(dhcp_discover,count=100000,iface=intf)
if __name__ == "__main__":
t1 = threading.Thread(target=send_dhcp_discover, args=("eth1",))
t2 = threading.Thread(target=send_dhcp_discover, args=("eth2",))
t1.start()
t2.start()
t1.join()
t2.join()
Verified on Arista-7260CX3-D108C8 running 202012 that the copp rule for queue4_group1 and queue4_group3 do NOT affect BGP packets. To verify this using PTF, the copp rules were modified to set the "CBS" and "CIR" for queue4_group1 and queue4_group3 at 600pps and 50k packets each of "BGP open" and "DHCP Discover" were simultaneously sent from the same PTF port to the DUT. It was verified using "show c cpu" that packets are hitting the cpu queue at 1200 pps (double the configured CIR/CBS for these packet types). This helped conclude that throttling rate is per trap (or packet type) and not per queue.
Verified with updated sonic-mgmt tests ([tests/copp]: Update copp mgmt tests to support new rate-limits sonic-mgmt#8199) on broadcom and mellanox platforms that these traffic types are rate-limited.

* Reduce SONiC image filesystem size
Add a build option to reduce the image size.
The image reduction process is affecting the builds in 2 ways:
- change some packages that are installed in the rootfs
- apply a rootfs reduction script
The script itself will perform a few steps:
- remove file duplication by leveraging hardlinks
- under /usr/share/sonic since the symlinks under the device folder are lost during the build.
- under /var/lib/docker since the files there will only be mounted ro
- remove some extra files (man, docs, licenses, ...)
- some image specific space reduction (only for aboot images currently)
The script can later be improved but for now it's reducing the rootfs
size by ~30%.
* restore fully featured vim package
Why I did it
Networking devices need to be responsive. Such responsiveness is harmed when the CPU change state.
There is a latency penalty when a CPU is idle (e.g C2) and need to exit this state to come back to C1 state.
To prevent this from happening the CPU should be forced to remain in C1 state.
How I did it
Generalize the cstate forcing to C1 to all Arista products.
This is done by adding processor.max_cstate=1 to the kernel cmdline for all CPUs.
Additionally Intel CPUs also need intel_idle.max_cstate=0 to fallback to the acpi_idle driver.
How to verify it
Check that processor.max_cstate=1 is present on the cmdline for AMD CPUs
Check that both processor.max_cstate=1 and intel_idle.max_cstate=0 are present on the cmdline for Intel CPUs
