- Why I did it
This is for the eventual support of multiple architectures for the mellanox platform.
- How I did it
Change the location of the binaries in Switch-SDK-drivers so that the path specifies the target architecture in addition to the target distribution that the debians are built for.
This is the most straightforward way to separate binaries built against different architectures and selectively target them for installation in the mellanox SONiC image.
- How to verify it
Build SONiC for mellanox and verify it compiles successfully.
- Why I did it
To include latest fixes:
1. Warmboot | When trying to reconfigure the Flex Parser header and Flex transition parameters after ISSU, the switch will returned an error even if the configuration was identical to that done before performing the ISSU.
2. Link Up | When toggling many ports of the Spectrum devices while raising 10GbE link up and link maintenance is enabled, the switch may get stuck and may need to be rebooted.
3. Shared buffer | While moving from lossless to lossy while shared headroom was used, reduction of the shared headroom can only be done prior to pool type change and when shared headroom is not utilized.

#### Why I did it
To fix an issue that hw-mgmt patches were not applied. One patch was already in upstream hw-mgmt package thus applying it again caused an error and no other patches were applied. Also, I did it to improve the Makefile, so that the make will fail in case patches fail to apply.
#### How I did it

Run the make and verify patches are applied.

Support zero buffer profiles
1. Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
2. Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
3. Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
- How I did it
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
If the buffer model is static:
* Apply normal buffer profiles to admin-up ports
* Apply zero buffer profiles to admin-down ports
If the buffer model is dynamic:
* Apply normal buffer profiles to all ports
* buffer manager will take care when a port is shut down
Update buffers_config.j2 to support INACTIVE PORTS by extending the existing macros to generate the various buffer objects, including PGs, queues, ingress/egress profile lists
Originally, all the macros to generate the above buffer objects took active ports only as an argument.
Now that buffer items need to be generated on inactive ports as well, an extra argument representing the inactive ports need to be added.
To be backward compatible, a new series of macros are introduced to take both active and inactive ports as arguments
The original version (with active ports only) will be checked first. If it is not defined, then the extended version will be called.
Only vendors who support zero profiles need to change their buffer templates
Enable buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file:
The JSON file is provided on a per-platform basis
It is copied from platform/<vendor> folder to /usr/share/sonic/temlates folder in compiling time and rendered when the swss container is being created.
To make code clean and reduce redundant code, extract common macros from buffer_defaults_t{0,1}.j2 of all SKUs to two common files:
One in Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8 for single ingress pool mode
The other in ACS-MSN2700 for double ingress pool mode
Those files of all other SKUs will be symbol link to the above files
Update sonic-cfggen test accordingly:
* Adjust example output file of JSON template for unit test
* Add unit test in for Mellanox's new buffer templates.
- How to verify it
Regression test.

Run regression test and manually test.

- Why I did it
To include latest fixes.
1. On CMIS modules, after low power configuration, the firmware waited for the module state to be ModuleReady instead of ModuleLowPower causing delays.
2. When connecting Spectrum devices with optical transceivers that support RXLOS, remote side port down might cause the switch firmware to get stuck and cause unexpected switch behavior.
3. On rare occasions, when working with port rates of 1GbE or 10GbE and congestion occurs, packets may get stuck in the chip and may cause switch to hang.
4. When ECMP has high amount of next-hops based on VLAN interfaces, in some rare cases, packets will get a wrong VLAN tag and will be dropped.
5. Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times ( up to 70 seconds).
6. When connecting SN4600C to SN4600C after Fastboot in 50GbE No_FEC mode with a copper cable, the link up time may take ~20 seconds.

Update SDK\FW version to 4.4.3326\2008.3326. This version contains:
New Features:
1. Add support for Fast Boot for SN3800
Bug Fixing:
1. In some cases, when the total number of allocations exceeds the resource limit, an error can occur due to incorrect resource release procedure. This issue is most likely to affect the following resources: flow counters, ACL actions, PBS, WJH filter, Tunnels, ECMP containers, MC (L2 &L3)
2. On Spectrum systems, when using Async Router API with IPV6, an error message in the log regarding failing to remove ECMP container may show up. This error is not functional and can be safely ignored.
3. On Spectrum-2 systems and above, when using warm boot, setting max_bridge_num to a value greater than 1968 will cause an error and potential crash.
4. Some Molex cables do not support speed after reboot

Why I did it
BIOS upgrade on rare cases cannot guarantee bus value remain the same on every BIOS release. Ignoring this field in order for pcied not to fail but still verify device id in a different way. The solution is future proof and will not require changes in code when new BIOS version is available
How I did it
Since bus is not a fixed value (it is determined by the bios version) we are ignoring this field, and instead checking if there is a device that match on all other fields that and in addition has a matching device id.
How to verify it
Verify no errors or failures in pcied on different BIOS version with the same code base.

Why I did it
Currently we leveraged the Supervisor to monitor the running status of critical processes in each container and it is more reliable and flexible than doing the monitoring by Monit. So we removed the functionality of monitoring the critical processes by Monit.
How I did it
I removed the script process_checker and corresponding Monit configuration entries of critical processes.
How to verify it
I verified this on the device str-7260cx3-acs-1.
This is due to the fact that we use SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS internally
in our build jobs and this is not accounted in caching framework.
So we add MLNX_SDK_DEB_VERSION to force rebuild if we changed it via
SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS.
