- Create a script in the orchagent docker container which listens for these encapsulated packets which are trapped to CPU (indicating that they cannot be routed/no neighbor info exists for the inner packet). When such a packet is received, the script will issue a ping command to the packet's inner destination IP to start the neighbor learning process.
- This script is also resilient to portchannel status changes (i.e. interface going up or down). An interface going down does not affect traffic sniffing on interfaces which are still up. When an interface comes back up, we restart the sniffer to start capturing traffic on that interface again.

This is to update the common sonic-buildimage infra for reclaiming buffer.
- How I did it
Render zero_profiles.j2 to zero_profiles.json for vendors that support reclaiming buffer
The zero profiles will be referenced in PR [Reclaim buffer] Reclaim unused buffers by applying zero buffer profiles #8768 on Mellanox platforms and there will be test cases to verify the behavior there.
Rendering is done here for passing azure pipeline.

Why I did it
During swss container startup, if ndppd starts up before/with vlanmgrd, ndppd will be pinned at nearly 100% CPU usage.
How I did it
Only start ndppd after vlanmgrd is running. Also, call ndppd directly instead of through bash for improved logging and to prevent orphaned processes.

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.
Why I did it
ndppd by default reads /proc/net/ipv6_route ever 30 seconds. Since T1s advertise so many routes to ToRs, this file is extremely large, and reading it causes ndppd's CPU usage to spike every 30 seconds
How I did it
Increase the delay for reading this file to the maximum possible value (max integer value), which will result in CPU spikes every ~24 days instead of every 30 seconds
How to verify it
Start ndppd with the new config file, confirm that no CPU spikes are seen except at startup

Change /usr/bin/buffermgrd -l to /usr/bin/buffermgrd. The buffermgrd is started by -l for traditional model or -a for dynamic model. So we need to use the common section of both.

In multi asic platforms the record files will be different for each asic, with the format swss.asic{x}.rec and sairedis.asic{x}.rec
Update the logrotate script for multiasic platform .
- Why I did it
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.

As part of migrating SONiC codebase from Python 2 to Python 3
**- How I did it**
- No longer install Python 2 in docker-base-buster or docker-config-engine-buster.
- Install Python 2 and pip2 in the following containers until we can completely eliminate it there:
- docker-platform-monitor
- docker-sonic-mgmt-framework
- docker-sonic-vs
- Pin pip2 version <21 where it is still temporarily needed, as pip version 21 will drop support for Python 2
- Also preform some other cleanup, ensuring that pip3, setuptools and wheel packages are installed in docker-base-buster, and then removing any attempts to re-install them in derived containers
Install the necessary python3 dependent packages to convert restore_neighbor.py
to support python3 as python2 is EOL. See: Azure/sonic-swss#1542

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
**- Why I did it**
Align style with slightly modified PEP8 standards (extend maximum line length to 120 chars). This will also help in the transition to Python 3, where it is more strict about whitespace, plus it helps unify style among the SONiC codebase. Will tackle other directories in separate PRs.
**- How I did it**
Using `autopep8 --in-place --max-line-length 120` and some manual tweaks.
**- Why I did it**
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

This is due to the number of programs in the container managed by supervisor, all generating events at the same time. The default event queue buffer size in supervisor is 10. This patch increases that value in all containers in order to eliminate these errors. As more programs are added to the containers, we may need to further adjust these values. I increased all buffer sizes to 25 except for containers with more programs or templated supervisor.conf files which allow for a variable number of programs. In these cases I increased the buffer size to 50. One final exception is the swss container, where the buffer fills up to ~50, so I increased this buffer to 100.

Root Cause: Waiting on Restore count != 0 can lead to race condition
between orchagent process and swssconfig.sh.
Ideally check of Restore count != 0 is not needed as the State DB
cannot be flushed as if it was flushed then Warm Restart or swss-restart
should not be true also.
