How I did it
Install k8s dashboard docker images
Install geneva mds and mdsd and fluentd docker images and tag them as latest, tagging latest will help create container always with the latest version
Install azure-storage-blob and azure-identity, this will help do etcd backup and restore.
Install kubernetes python client packages, this will help read worker and container state, we can send these metric to Geneva.
Remove mdm debian package, will replace it with the mdm docker image
Add k8s master entrance script, this script will be called by rc-local service when system startup. we have some master systemd services in compute-move repo, when VMM service create master VM, VMM will copy all master service files inside VM, the entrance script will setup all services according to the service files.
When the entrance script content changed, the PR build will set include_kubernetes_master=y to help do validation for k8s master related code change. The default value of include_kubernetes_master should be always n for public master branch. We will generate master image from internal master branch
How to verify it
Build with INCLUDE_KUBERNETES_MASTER = y
There is a redundant line in init_cfg.json.j2. It would cause pmon service always has "delayed=False". However, we know that PMON has a timer now. So, I try to fix it here.
Why I did it
For route registry service, in order to block hijacked routes, IBGP session needs to be set up from BGP sentinel service to SONiC, and BGP sentinel service advertise the same route with higher local-preference and no export community. So that SONiC takes the route from BGP sentinel as the best path and does not advertise the route to EBGP peers.
In order to do that, new route-maps are needed. So this change adds a new set of templates, keeping BGPSentinel peers out of the other templates.
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO (number only): 24451346
How I did it
Add sentinel_community in constants.yml, route from BGPSentinel do not match this community will be denied.
Add support to convert BGPSentinel related configuration in the BGPPeerPassive element of the minigraph to a new BGP_SENTINELS table in CONFIG_DB
Add a new set of "sentinels" templates to docker-fpm-frr
Add a new BGP peer manager to bgpcfgd, to add neighbors from the BGP_SENTINELS table using the "sentinels" templates
Add a test case for minigraph.py, making sure the BGPSentinel and BGPSentinelV6 elements create BGP_SENTINELS DB entry.
Add a set of test cases for the new sentinels templates in sonic-bgpcfgd tests.
Add sonic-bgp-sentinel.yang and a set of testcases for the yang file.
How to verify it
Testcases and UT newly added would pass.
Setup IPv4 and IPv6 BGPSentinel services in minigraph, and load minigraph, show CONFIG_DB and "show runningconfig bgp", configuration would be loaded successfully.
Using t1-lag topo and setup IBGP session from BGPSentinel to SONiC loopback address, IBGP session would up.
Advertise route from BGPSentinel to T1 with sentinel_community, higher local-preference and no-export communiyt. In T1, show bgp route, the result is "Not advertise to any EBGP peer".
Withdraw the route in BGPSentinel, in T1, route would advertise to EBGP peers.
Advertise route from T1 that does not match sentinel_community, in T1, would not see the route in show bgp route.

Why I did it
Sharing the storage of syncd with other proprietary application extensions allows them to communicate with syncd in differnt ways.
If one container wants to pass some information to syncd then shared storage can be used. However, today the shared storage isn't cleaned on restarts making it possible for syncd to read out-of-date information generated in the past.
NOTE: No plans to use it for standard SONIC dockers and we are working on removing the SDK dependency from PMON docker

Reverts #14933
The earlier commit caused a race condition that particularly broke cross branch warm upgrade.
Issue happens when db_migrator is still migrating the DB and finalizer is checking DB for list of components to reconcile.
If migration is not complete, finalizer get an empty list to wait for. Due to this, finalizer concludes warmboot (deletes system wide warmboot flag) and cause all the services to do cold restart.

* Re-add 127.0.0.1/8 when bringing down the interfaces
With #5353, 127.0.0.1/16 was added to the lo interface, and then
127.0.0.1/8 was removed. However, when bringing down the lo interface,
like during a config reload, 127.0.0.1/16 gets removed, but 127.0.0.1/8
isn't added back to the interface. This means that there's a period of
time where 127.0.0.1 is not available at all, and services that need to
connect to 127.0.01 (such as for redis DB) will fail.
To fix this, when going down, add 127.0.0.1/8. Add this address before
the existing configuration gets removed, so that 127.0.0.1 is available
at all times.
Note that running `ifdown lo` doesn't actually bring down the loopback
interface; the interface always stays "physically" up.

Fix the issue where db_migrator is called before DB is loaded w/ config. This leads to db_migrator:
Not finding anything, and resumes to incorrectly migrate every missing config
This is not expected. migration should happen after the old config is loaded and only new schema changes need migration.
Since DB does not have anything when migrator is called, db_migrator fails when some APIs return None.
The reason for incorrect call is that:
database service starts db_migrator as part of startup sequence.
config-setup service loads data from old-config/minigraph. However, since it has Requires=database.service.
Hence, config-setup starts only when database service is started. And database service is started when db_migrator is completed.
Fixed by:
Check if this is first time boot by checking pending_config_migration flag.
If pending_config_migration is enabled, then do not call db_migrator as part of database service startup.
Let database service start which triggers config-setup service to start.
Now call db_migrator after when config-setup service loads old-config/minigraph

Some devices running SONiC have a small storage device (2G and 4G mainly)
The SONiC image growth over time has made it impossible to install
2 images on a single device.
Some mitigations have been implemented in the past for some devices but
there is a need to do more.
One such mitigation is `docker_inram` which creates a `tmpfs` and
extracts `dockerfs.tar.gz` in it.
This all happens in the SONiC initramfs and by ensuring the installation
process does not extract `dockerfs.tar.gz` on the flash but keep the file as is.
This mitigation does a tradeoff by using more RAM to reduce the disk footprint.
It however creates new issues for devices with 4G of system memory since
the extracted `dockerfs.tar.gz` nears the 1.6G.
Considering debian upgrades (with dual base images) and the continuous
stream of features this is only going to get bigger.
This change introduces an alternative to the `tmpfs` by allowing a system
to extract the `dockerfs.tar.gz` inside a `zram` device thus bringing
compression in play at the detriment of performance.
Introduce 2 new optional kernel parameters to be consumed by SONiC initramfs.
- `docker_inram_size` which represent the max physical size of the
`zram` or `tmpfs` volume (defaults to DOCKER_RAMFS_SIZE)
- `docker_inram_algo` which is the method to use to extract the
`dockerfs.tar.gz` (defaults to `tmpfs`)
other values are considered to be compression algorithm for `zram`
(e.g `zstd`, `zlo-rle`, `lz4`)
Refactored the logic to mount the docker fs in the SONiC initramfs under
the `union-mount` script.
Moved the code into a function to make it cleaner and separated the
inram volume creation and docker extraction.
On Arista platform with a flash smaller or equal to 4GB set
`docker_inram_algo` to `zstd` which produces the best compression ratio
at the detriment of a slower write performance and a similar read
performance to other `zram` compression algorithms.
Enable docker_inram for all systems with 4GB or less of flash.
This is mandatory to allow these systems to store 2 SONiC images.
This change also fixes the missing docker_inram attribute when
installing a new image from SONiC.
Because the SWI image can ship with additional kernel parameters within
such as `sonic_fips=` this lead to a conflict.
To prevent the conflict, the extra kernel parameters from the SWI are
now stored in the file `kernel-cmdline-append` which isn't used anywhere.

Support for SONIC chassis isolation using TSA and un-isolation using TSB from supervisor module
Work item tracking
Microsoft ADO (number only): 17826134
How I did it
When TSA is run on the supervisor, it triggers TSA on each of the linecards using the secure rexec infrastructure introduced in sonic-net/sonic-utilities#2701. User password is requested to allow secure login to linecards through ssh, before execution of TSA/TSB on the linecards
TSA of the chassis withdraws routes from all the external BGP neighbors on each linecard, in order to isolate the entire chassis. No route withdrawal is done from the internal BGP sessions between the linecards to prevent transient drops during internal route deletion. With these changes, complete isolation of a single linecard using TSA will not be possible (a separate CLI/script option will be introduced at a later time to achieve this)
Changes also include no-stats option with TSC for quick retrieval of the current system isolation state
This PR also reverts changes in #11403

chassis-packet: missing arp entries for static routes causing high orchagent cpu usage
It is observed that some sonic-mgmt test case calls sonic-clear arp, which clears the static arp entries as well. Orchagent or arp_update process does not try to resolve the missing arp entries after clear.

Use sonic-clear arp and sonic-clear ndp to clear all neighbor entries
run arp_update
Check for neigh entries. All entries should be present.

- How I did it
Added logic to finalize-warmboot script to handle fast-reboot as well, this makes sense as using fast-reboot over warm-reboot this script will be invoked. The script will clear fast-reboot entry from state-db instead of previous implementation that relied on timer. The timer could expire in some scenarios between fast-reboot finished causing fallback to cold-reboot and possible crashes.
As well this PR updates all services/scripts reading fast-reboot state-db entry to look for the updated value representing fast-reboot is active.

Verified that acl is loaded successfully on a storage backend ToR after minigraph load and config reload
Verified that acl is not loaded if the device is not a storage backend ToR or the device does not have a DATAACL table

- Why I did it
Add Secure Boot support to SONiC OS.
Secure Boot (SB) is a verification mechanism for ensuring that code launched by a computer's UEFI firmware is trusted. It is designed to protect a system against malicious code being loaded and executed early in the boot process before the operating system has been loaded.
- How I did it
Added a signing process to sign the following components:
shim, grub, Linux kernel, and kernel modules when doing the build, and when feature is enabled in build time according to the HLD explanations (the feature is disabled by default).
- How to verify it
There are self-verifications of each boot component when building the image, in addition, there is an existing end-to-end test in sonic-mgmt repo that checks that the boot succeeds when loading a secure system (details below).
How to build a sonic image with secure boot feature: (more description in HLD)
Required to use the following build flags from rules/config:
SECURE_UPGRADE_MODE="dev"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_KEY="/path/to/private/key.pem"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_CERT="/path/to/cert/key.pem"
After setting those flags should build the sonic-buildimage.
Before installing the image, should prepared the setup (switch device) with the follow:
check that the device support UEFI
stored pub keys in UEFI DB
enabled Secure Boot flag in UEFI
How to run a test that verify the Secure Boot flow:
The existing test "test_upgrade_path" under "sonic-mgmt/tests/upgrade_path/test_upgrade_path", is enough to validate proper boot
You need to specify the following arguments:
Base_image_list your_secure_image
Taget_image_list your_second_secure_image
Upgrade_type cold
And run the test, basically the test will install the base image given in the parameter and then upgrade to target image by doing cold reboot and validates all the services are up and working correctly
Fixes#13568
Upgrade from old image always requires squashfs mount to get the next image FW binary. This can be avoided if we put FW binary under platform directory which is easily accessible after installation:
admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
/host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls -al /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 66 Feb 8 17:57 /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa -> /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
- Why I did it
202211 and above uses different squashfs compression type that 201911 kernel can not handle. Therefore, we avoid mounting squashfs altogether with this change.
- How I did it
Place FW binary under /host/image-/platform/mlnx/, soft links in /etc/mlnx are created to avoid breaking existing scripts/automation.
/etc/mlnx/fw-SPCX.mfa is a soft link always pointing to the FW that should be used in current image
mlnx-fw-upgrade.sh is updated to prefer /host/image-/platform/mlnx location and fallback to /etc/mlnx in squashfs in case new location does not exist. This is necessary to do image downgrade.
- How to verify it
Upgrade from 201911 to master
master to 201911 downgrade
master -> master reboot
ONIE -> master boot (First FW burn)
Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
Why I did it
Vendor platform may require running platform specific pre-shutdown routine before shutting down the syncd process which runs the SAI and vendor sdk instance.
How I did it
Added a platform script hook which will be executed if the plugin script is provided by the platform in device//plugins/
#### Why I did it
Following the PR https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-swss-common/pull/739 increasing netlink buffer size in linux kernel
As error is seen in fdbsyncd with netlink reports "out of memory on reading a netlink socket" It is seen when kernel is sending 10k remote mac to fdbsyncd.
#### How I did it
Increase the buffer size of the netlink buffer from 3MB to 16MB
#### How to verify it
Verified with 10k remote mac, and restarting the fdbsyncd process. So that kernel send the bridge fdb dump to the fdbsyncd.
Verified that the netlink buffer error is not reported in the sys log.
Why I did it
Fix similar issue seen on #13739 but only for DCS-7050CX3-32S
How I did it
Add a kernel parameter to tell libata to disable NCQ
How to verify it
The message ata2.00: FORCE: horkage modified (noncq) should appear on the dmesg.

- How I did it
Remove in Mellanox fw make files to Spectrum-4 ASIC firmware binaries.
Remove from firmware upgrade scripts to be able Spectrum-4 ASIC.
- How to verify it
Run regression test
- Why I did it
Need to add the possibility to choose between dropping packets (using ACL) on ingress or egress in Dual ToR scenario

Fixe #12047. After the c++ implementation of the sonic-db-cli, sonic-db-cli PING command tries to initialize the global database for all instances database starting. If all instance database-config.json are not ready yet. it will crash and generate core file. PR sonic-net/sonic-swss-common#701 only fix the crash and the process abortion.
