- Why I did it
The existing Fan led and Psu led object initialize itself to green color in init method. However, there are multiple daemons calls sonic platform API and there could be a case that:
A PSU is removed from system
Reboot switch
psud detects that 1 PSU is missing and set PSU led to red
Other daemon just start up and call sonic platform API, the API set PSU led to green by call PsuLed.init
This PR is a partial fix for the issue. As we also need guarantee that the led is initialized with a correct value. I checked existing psud and thermalctld code. psud always initialize the PSU led color on boot up, thermalcltd need some changes to initialize led color on the first run
- How I did it
Remove the led color initialization code from FanLed.init and PsuLed.init
- How to verify it
Manual test

- How to verify it
Install image on switch, verify all ports are up and configured properly, run full platform SONiC tests.
In preparation for the merging of Azure/sonic-platform-common#173, which properly defines class and instance members in the Platform API base classes.
It is proper object-oriented methodology to call the base class initializer, even if it is only the default initializer. This also future-proofs the potential addition of custom initializers in the base classes down the road.
- Why I did it
System is stuck on 'starting' state on SimX platform because of infinite loop on 'hw-management-ready.sh' script .
The loop is polling to check if the hw-mgmt sysfs created before proceeding with the flow, for SimX platform the sysfs will never create so the system is not starting properly.
- How I did it
Add a condition to poll on hw-mgmt sysfs only if the switch is real HW and not SimX platform.
- How to verify it
Check "systemctl status hw-management.service" output on a SimX switch with this patch, the state will be "active".

**- Why I did it**
PR https://github.com/Azure/sonic-platform-common/pull/102 modified the name of the SFF-8436 (QSFP) method to align the method name between all drivers, renaming it from `parse_qsfp_dom_capability` to `parse_dom_capability`. Once the submodule was updated, the callers using the old nomenclature broke. This PR updates all callers to use the new naming convention.
**- How I did it**
Update the name of the function globally for all calls into the SFF-8436 driver.
Note that the QSFP-DD driver still uses the old nomenclature and should be modified similarly. I will open a PR to handle this separately.

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.

During ISSU, "mlxsw_minimal" driver still trying to access firmware, in some cases FW could return some wrong critical threshold value which will cause switch shutdown.
**- How I did it**
In order to prevent "mlxsw_minimal" driver from accessing ASIC during ISSU, SDK will raise "OFFLINE" 'udev' event
at the early beginning of such flow. When this event is received, hw-management will remove "mlxsw_minimal" driver.
There is no need to implement the opposite "ONLINE" event since this flow is ended up with "kexec".
**- How to verify it**
repeatedly perform warm reboot, make sure there is no switch shutdown occurred.
Bugs fixes:
All | Kernel | During system reload when CPU is loaded with heavy traffic, a Kernel Panic may occur.
All | Modules, Port split | FW stuck when device rebooted with locked Optical Transceivers in split mode
Spectrum-3 | PFC | On Spectrum-3 systems, slow reaction time to Rx pause packets on 40GbE ports may lead to buffer overflow on servers.
Spectrum-3 | SN4700, Port Split | On rare occasion SN4700, conducting 100G split (4x25G) in NRZ when splitter port 1 or 2 are down, ports 3 and 4 will also go down.
Enahncments:
All | Kernel | new notification on ISSU start, so other kernel drivers can disable any interface to ASIC

To support dynamic buffer calculation.
This PR also depends on the following PRs for sub modules
- [sonic-swss: [buffermgr/bufferorch] Support dynamic buffer calculation #1338](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/pull/1338)
- [sonic-swss-common: Dynamic buffer calculation #361](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss-common/pull/361)
- [sonic-utilities: Support dynamic buffer calculation #973](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/pull/973)
**- How I did it**
1. Introduce field `buffer_model` in `DEVICE_METADATA|localhost` to represent which buffer model is running in the system currently:
- `dynamic` for the dynamic buffer calculation model
- `traditional` for the traditional model in which the `pg_profile_lookup.ini` is used
2. Add the tables required for the feature:
- ASIC_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/asic_table.j2
- PERIPHERAL_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/peripheral_table.j2
- PORT_PERIPHERAL_TABLE on a per-platform basis in device/\<vendor\>/\<platform\>/port_peripheral_config.j2 for each platform with gearbox installed.
- DEFAULT_LOSSLESS_BUFFER_PARAMETER and LOSSLESS_TRAFFIC_PATTERN in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
- Add lossless PGs (3-4) for each port in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
3. Copy the newly introduced j2 files into the image and rendering them when the system starts
4. Update the CLI options for buffermgrd so that it can start with dynamic mode
5. Fetches the ASIC vendor name in orchagent:
- fetch the vendor name when creates the docker and pass it as a docker environment variable
- `buffermgrd` can use this passed-in variable
6. Clear buffer related tables from STATE_DB when swss docker starts
7. Update the src/sonic-config-engine/tests/sample_output/buffers-dell6100.json according to the buffer_config.j2
8. Remove buffer pool sizes for ingress pools and egress_lossy_pool
Update the buffer settings for dynamic buffer calculation

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
