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.

Mellanox MSN2700 platforms have a non-functional error log: "ERR pmon#sensord: Error getting sensor data: dps460/#10: Can't read". This error is because of a firmware issue with some PSU, we are not able to upgrade the FW online. Since there is no functional impact, this error log can be ignored safely.
- How I did it
Add a new rsyslog rule to the rsyslog-container.conf.j2, if the docker name is pmon and the platform name matches, the new rule will be inserted into the docker rsyslogd.conf
- How to verify it

* 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

ConfigDBConnector in supervisor-proc-exit-listener uses default parameter to connect CONFIG_DB (connect by 127.0.0.1:6379) which would fail at non-host network mode container, because they are not sharing the same network and socket.
How I did it
Add a new parameter use_unix_socket_path to this script to indicate whether to use socket to connect CONFIG_DB.
How to verify it
Build image and install it, kill critical processes in container and container crushed.
In #15080, there was a command added to re-add 127.0.0.1/8 to the lo
interface when the networking configuration is being brought down.
However, the trigger for that command is `down`, which, looking at
ifupdown2 configuration files, runs immediately after 127.0.0.1/16 is
removed. This means there may be a period of time where there are no
loopback addresses assigned to the lo interface, and redis commands will
fail.
Fix this by changing this to pre-down, which should run well before
127.0.0.1/16 is removed, and should always leave lo with a loopback
address.

* [swss] Chassis db clean up optimization and bug fixes
This commit includes the following changes:
- Fix for regression failure due to error in finding CHASSIS_APP_DB in
pizzabox (#PR 16451)
- After attempting to delete the system neighbor entries from
chassis db, before starting clearing the system interface entries,
wait for sometime only if some system neighbors were deleted.
If there are no system neighbors entries deleted for the asic coming up,
no need to wait.
- Similar changes for system lag delete. Before deleting the
system lag, wait for some time only if some system lag memebers were
deleted. If there are no system lag members deleted no need to wait.
- Flush the SYSTEM_NEIGH_TABLE from the local STATE_DB. While asic
is coming up, when system neigh entries are deleted from chassis ap
db (as part of chassis db clean up), there is no orchs/process running to
process the delete messages from chassis redis. Because of this, stale system
neigh are entries present in the local STATE_DB. The stale entries result in
creation of orphan (no corresponding data path/asic db entry) kernel neigh
entries during STATE_DB:SYSTEM_NEIGH_TABLE entries processing by nbrmgr (after
the swss serive came up). This is avoided by flushing the SYSTEM_NEIGH_TABLE from
the local STATE_DB when sevice comes up.

chassis-packet: Update arp_update script for FAILED and STALE check (#16311)
1. Fixing an issue with FAILED entry resolution retry.
Neighbor entries in arp table may sometimes enter a FAILED state when the far end is down and reports the state as follows:
2603:10e2:400:3::1 dev PortChannel19 router FAILED
While the arp_update script handles the entries for FAILED in the following format, the above was not handled due to the token location (extra router keyword at index 4):
2603:10e2:400:3::1 dev PortChannel19 FAILED
The former format may appear if an arp resolution is tried on a link that is known but the far end goes down, e.g., pinging a STALE entry while the far end is down.
2. Refreshing STALE entries to make sure the far end is reachable.
STALE entries for some backend ports may appear in chassis-packet when no traffic is received for a while on the port. When the far end goes down, it is expected for BFD to stop sending packets on the session for which the far end is not reachable. But as the entry is known as stale, on the Cisco chassis, BFD keeps sending packets. Refreshing the stale entry will keep active links as reachable in the neighbor table while the entries for the far end down will enter a failed state. FAILED state entries will be retired and entered reachable when far end comes back up.

To fix the logic introduced by [[memory_checker] Do not check memory usage of containers which are not created #11129](https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/pull/11129).
There could be a scenario before the reboot, where
1. The `docker service` has stopped
2. In a very short period of time, the monit service performs the `root@sonic:/home/admin# monit status container_memory_telemetry`
In such scenario, the `memory_checker` script will throw an error to the syslog:
```
ERR memory_checker: Failed to retrieve the running container list from docker daemon! Error message is: 'Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborted.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))'
```
But, actually, this scenario is a correct behavior, because when the docker service is stopped, the Unix socket is destroyed and that is why we could see the `FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'` exception in the syslog.
#### How I did it
Change the log severity to the warning and changed the return value.
#### How to verify it
It is really hard to catch the exact moment described in the `Why I did it` section.
In order to check the logic:
1. Change the Unix socket path to non-existing in [/usr/bin/memory_checker](47742dfc2c/files/image_config/monit/memory_checker (L139)) file on the switch.
2. Execute the `root@sonic:/home/admin# monit restart container_memory_telemetry`
3. Check the syslog for such messages:
```
WARNING memory_checker: Failed to retrieve the running container list from docker daemon! Error message is: 'Error while fetching server API version: ('Connection aborte
d.', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))'
INFO memory_checker: [memory_checker] Exits without checking memory usage since container 'telemetry' is not running!
```
What I did:
Added flag in sonic_version.yml to see if compiled image is secured or non-secured. This is done using build/compile time environmental variable SECURE_UPGRADE_MODE as define in HLD: https://github.com/sonic-net/SONiC/blob/master/doc/secure_boot/hld_secure_boot.md
This flag does not provide the runtime status of whether the image has booted securely or not. It's possible that compile time signed image (secured image) can boot on non secure platform.
Why I did:
Flag can be used for manual check or by the test case.
