Why I did it
Add the create_only_config_db_buffers attribute to the DEVICE_METADATA|localhost. If the "create_only_config_db_buffers" exists and is equal to "true" - the buffers will be created according to the config_db configuration (for example BUFFER_QUEUE|* table), otherwise the maximum available buffers (which are read from SAI) will be created, regardless of the CONFIG_DB buffers configuration.

Why I did it
Running SONiC releases past 202012 has become really challenging on system with small storage devices (4GB).
Some of these devices can also be limited by only having 4GB of RAM which complicates mitigations.
The main contributor to these issues is the SONiC image growth.
Being able to reduce it by some decent amount should allow these systems to run SONiC longer.
It would also reduce some impacts related to space savings mitigations.

Microsoft ADO (number only):
How I did it
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%.
How to verify it
Compare the size of an image with this option enabled and this option enabled.
Expect the fully extracted content to be ~30% less.
Which release branch to backport (provide reason below if selected)
This is a backport of #16729
Description for the changelog
Add build option to reduce final image size
Why I did it
Enabling kdump by default for cisco-8000 by setting crashkernel cmdline arg in device installer.conf.
After bootup, sonic-kdump-config wipes crashkernel arg from /host/grub/grub.cfg, and resets USE_KDUMP in /etc/default/kdump-tools, so kdump will not be enabled on subsequent reboot.
How I did it
Setting kdump enable config as part of init_cfg.json for cisco-8000 platforms.
How to verify it
Install SONiC image with kdump enabled by default (device/hwsku/installer.conf), then reboot.
Kdump config should persist on subsequent reboots and kdump loaded during bootup

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

* [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.

(cherry picked from commit b13b41fc22)
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.

#### Why I did it
To enable qos config for a certain backend deployment mode, for resource-type "Compute-AI".
This deployment has the following requirement:
- Config below enabled if DEVICE_TYPE as one of backend_device_types
- Config below enabled if ResourceType is 'Compute-AI'
- 2 lossless TCs' (2, 3)
- 2 lossy TCs' (0,1)
- DSCP to TC map uses 4 DSCP code points and maps to the TCs' as follows:
"DSCP_TO_TC_MAP": {
"AZURE": {
"48" : "0",
"46" : "1",
"3" : "3",
"4" : "4"
}
}

* [Mellanox] Update SDK/FW/SAI to 4.6.1020/2012.1020/SAIBuild2305.25.0.3 (#16096)
SONiC changes:
1. Support Spectrum4 ASIC FW binary building.
2. Support new SDK sx-obj-desc lib building since new SAI need it.
3. Remove SX_SCEW debian package from Mellanox SDK build since we are no longer using it (we use libxml2 instead).
4. Update SAI, SDK, FW to version 4.6.1020/2012.1020/SAIBuild2305.25.0.3
SDK/FW bug fixes
1. In SPC-1 platforms: Fastboot mode is not operational for Split port with Force mode in 50G speed
SFP modules are kept in disabled state after set LPM (low power mode) on/off for at least 3 minutes.
2. When preforming fast boot from an old SDK version (currently installed) to a newer one (target version), and the system was initially loaded with a new SDK version (past version), and the system has not been wiped, under specific conditions, the fast boot would use the past version's data and may fail.
SDK/FW Features
1. On SN2700 all ports can support y cable by credo
SAI bug Fixes
1. When creating an ACL rule with SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_SRC_IP/SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_DST_IP enabled, and then disabling the field by setting enable=false, a match on L3_type=IPv4 will remain programmed for the rule Issue resolved after the fix
2. Allow the max scale of virtual routers to be configure for SPC-1, SPC-2, SPC-3 when fastboot enable

#### Why I did it
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!

Why I did it
Two changes:
1 Fix a day1 issue, where check to wait until CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED is incorrect.
There are multiple places where same incorrect logic is used.
Current logic (until [[ $($SONIC_DB_CLI CONFIG_DB GET "CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED") ]];) will always result in pass, irrespective of the result of GET operation.
root@str2-7060cx-32s-29:~# sonic-db-cli CONFIG_DB GET "CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED"

root@str2-7060cx-32s-29:~# until [[ $(sonic-db-cli CONFIG_DB GET "CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED") ]]; do echo "entered here"; done

root@str2-7060cx-32s-29:~#
Fix this logic by checking for value of flag to be "1".
root@str2-7060cx-32s-29:~# until [[ $(sonic-db-cli CONFIG_DB GET "CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED") -eq 1 ]]; do echo "entered here"; done
entered here
entered here
entered here
This gap in logic was highlighted when another fix was merged: #14933
The issue being fixed here caused warmboot-finalizer to not wait until config-db is initialized.
2 Set and unset CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED for warm-reboot case
Currently, during warm shutdown CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED's value is stored in redis db backup. This is restored back when the dump is loaded during warm-recovery.
So the value of CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED does not depend on config db's state, however it remain what it was before reboot.
Fix this by setting CONFIG_DB_INITIALIZED to 0 as when the DB is loaded, and set it to 1 after db_migrator is done.

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

* 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.
