**- Why I did it**
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**
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

Updated the monit conf files with repeat every x cycles for the alert action
When detecting a new SFP insertion, read its SFP type and DOM capability from EEPROM again.
SFP object will be initialized to a certain type even if no SFP present. A case could be:
1. A SFP object is initialized to QSFP type by default when there is no SFP present
2. User insert a SFP with an adapter to this QSFP port
3. The SFP object fail to read EEPROM because it still treats itself as QSFP.
This PR fixes this issue.
Now we are reading base mac, product name from eeprom data, and the data read from eeprom contains multiple "\0" characters at the end, need trim them to make the string clean and display correct.
The `get_serial_number()` method in the ChassisBase and ModuleBase classes was redundant, as the `get_serial()` method is inherited from the DeviceBase class. This method was removed from the base classes in sonic-platform-common and the submodule was updated in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5625.
This PR aligns the existing vendor platform API implementations to remove the `get_serial_number()` methods and ensure the `get_serial()` methods are implemented, if they weren't previously.
Note that this PR does not modify the Dell platform API implementations, as this will be handled as part of https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5609
Example of syslog message from Mellanox SAI:
"Oct 7 15:39:11.482315 arc-switch1025 INFO syncd#supervisord: syncd Oct 07 15:39:11 NOTICE SAI_BUFFER: mlnx_sai_buffer.c[3893]- mlnx_clear_buffer_pool_stats: Clear pool stats pool id:1"
There is a log INFO from supervisord which actually printed NOTICE and
date again. This confusion happens becuase if SAI is not built to log
to syslog it will log everything to stdout with format "[date] [level]
[message]" so supervisord sends it to syslog with level INFO.
New logs look like:
"Oct 7 15:40:21.488055 arc-switch1025 NOTICE syncd#SDK [SAI_BUFFER]: mlnx_sai_buffer.c[3893]- mlnx_clear_buffer_pool_stats: Clear pool stats pool id:17"

We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
**- How I did it**
- Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package
- Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel
- Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications
- Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable

Refactor SFP reset, low power get/set API, and plugins with new SDK SX APIs. Previously they were calling SDK SXD APIs which have glibc dependency because of shared memory usage.
Remove implementation "set_power_override", "tx_disable_channel", "tx_disable" which using SXD APIs, once related SDK SX API available, will add them back based on new SDK SX APIs.
When stopping the swss, pmon or bgp containers, log messages like the following can be seen:
```

```
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.
Resolves https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/5241
As part of migrating all Python-based package installers to wheel format rather than Debian packages. Also to allow for easily building a Python 3 version of the package in the near future.
- Also remove some references to sonic-daemon-base which I previously missed and add missing sonic-py-common dependency for sonic-pcied.
As part of consolidating all common Python-based functionality into the new sonic-py-common package, this pull request:
1. Redirects all Python applications/scripts in sonic-buildimage repo which previously imported sonic_device_util or sonic_daemon_base to instead import sonic-py-common, which was added in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5003
2. Replaces all calls to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()` to instead call `sonic_py_common.get_platform()` and removes any calls to `sonic_device_util.get_machine_info()` which are no longer necessary (i.e., those which were only used to pass the results to `sonic_device_util.get_platform_info()`.
3. Removes unused imports to the now-deprecated sonic-daemon-base package and sonic_device_util.py module
This is the next step toward resolving https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/4999
Also reverted my previous change in which device_info.get_platform() would first try obtaining the platform ID string from Config DB and fall back to gathering it from machine.conf upon failure because this function is called by sonic-cfggen before the data is in the DB, in which case, the db_connect() call will hang indefinitely, which was not the behavior I expected. As of now, the function will always reference machine.conf.
when parallel build is enabled, both docker-fpm-frr and docker-syncd-brcm
is built at the same time, docker-fpm-frr requires swss which requires to
install libsaivs-dev. docker-syncd-brcm requires syncd package which requires
to install libsaibcm-dev.
since libsaivs-dev and libsaibcm-dev install the sai header in the same
location, these two packages cannot be installed at the same time. Therefore,
we need to serialize the build between these two packages. Simply uninstall
the conflict package is not enough to solve this issue. The correct solution
is to have one package wait for another package to be uninstalled.
For example, if syncd is built first, then it will install libsaibcm-dev.
Meanwhile, if the swss build job starts and tries to install libsaivs-dev,
it will first try to query if libsaibcm-dev is installed or not. if it is
installed, then it will wait until libsaibcm-dev is uninstalled. After syncd
job is finished, it will uninstall libsaibcm-dev and swss build job will be
unblocked.
To solve this issue, _UNINSTALLS is introduced to uninstall a package that
is no longer needed and to allow blocked job to continue.

System health feature needs to set/get system led status
- Add a led object in chassis class and initialize it when the API is called on host side
- Read/write system led system fs to get/set the status
make swss build depends only on libsairedis instead of syncd. This allows to build swss without depending
on vendor sai library.
Currently, libsairedis build also buils syncd which requires vendor SAI lib. This makes difficult to build
swss docker in buster while still keeping syncd docker in stretch, as swss requires libsairedis which also
build syncd and requires vendor to provide SAI for buster. As swss docker does not really contain syncd
binary, so it is not necessary to build syncd for swss docker.

**- Why I did it**
System health feature requires to read ASIC temperature and threshold from platform API
**- How I did it**
Implement Chassis.get_asic_temperature and Chassis.get_asic_temperature_threshold by getting value from system fs.
**- Why I did it**
Initially, the critical_processes file contains either the name of critical process or the name of group.
For example, the critical_processes file in the dhcp_relay container contains a single group name
`isc-dhcp-relay`. When testing the autorestart feature of each container, we need get all the critical
processes and test whether a container can be restarted correctly if one of its critical processes is
killed. However, it will be difficult to differentiate whether the names in the critical_processes file are
the critical processes or group names. At the same time, changing the syntax in this file will separate the individual process from the groups and also makes it clear to the user.
Right now the critical_processes file contains two different kind of entries. One is "program:xxx" which indicates a critical process. Another is "group:xxx" which indicates a group of critical processes
managed by supervisord using the name "xxx". At the same time, I also updated the logic to
parse the file critical_processes in supervisor-proc-event-listener script.
**- How to verify it**
We can first enable the autorestart feature of a specified container for example `dhcp_relay` by running the comman `sudo config container feature autorestart dhcp_relay enabled` on DUT. Then we can select a critical process from the command `docker top dhcp_relay` and use the command `sudo kill -SIGKILL <pid>` to kill that critical process. Final step is to check whether the container is restarted correctly or not.
**- Why I did it**
After discussed with Joe, we use the string "/usr/bin/syncd\s" in Monit configuration file to monitor
syncd process on Broadcom and Mellanox. Due to my careless, I did not find this bug during the
previous testing. If we use the string "/usr/bin/syncd" in Monit configuration file to monitor the
syncd process, Monit will not detect whether syncd process is running or not.
If we ran the command `sudo monit procmactch “/usr/bin/syncd”` on Broadcom, there will be three
processes in syncd container which matched this "/usr/bin/syncd": `/bin/bash /usr/bin/syncd.sh
wait`, `/usr/bin/dsserve /usr/bin/syncd –diag -u -p /etc/sai.d/sai.profile` and `/usr/bin/syncd –diag -
u -p /etc/sai.d/said.profile`. Monit will select the processes with the highest uptime (at there
`/bin/bash /usr/bin/syncd.sh wait`) to match and did not select `/usr/bin/syncd –diag -u -p
/etc/sai.d/said.profile` to match.
Similarly, On Mellanox Monit will also select the process with the highest uptime (at there
`/bin/bash /usr/bin/syncd.sh wait`) to match and did not select `/usr/bin/syncd –diag -u -p
/etc/sai.d/said.profile` to match.
That is why Monit is unable to detect whether syncd process is running or not if we use the string “/usr/bin/syncd” in Monit configuration file. If we use the string "/usr/bin/syncd\s" in Monit configuration file, Monit can filter out the process `/bin/bash /usr/bin/syncd.sh wait` and thus can correctly monitor the syncd process.

Currently we port SONiC to buster in a way that base image is on buster and
other dockers based on stretch. The benefit is that tasks can be carried out
simultaneously.
The build procedure can be treated as 2 stages.
The first stage is to build the stretch-based debs and dockers and the second
stage is to build the buster-based ones.
One thing we have to pay attention to is some debs depend on kernel should not
be built at stretch stage because the kernel isn't available at that time.
The idea is to move that kind of debs out of SONIC_STRETCH_DEBS. Meanwhile,
any dependency explicitly put on the stretch based dockers on kernel should be
removed.

Take advantage of an SDK environment variable to customize the location where sdk_socket exists.
In the latest SDK sdk_socket has been moved from /tmp to /var/run which is a better place to contain this kind of file.
However, this prevents the subdirs under /var/run from being mapped to different volumes. To resolve this, we take advantage of an SDK variable to designate the location of sdk_socket.
This requires every process that requires to access sdk_socket have this environment variable defined. However, to define environment variable for each process is less scalable. We take advantage of the docker scope environment variable to avoid that.
It depends on PR 4227
