Why I did it
Support to build armhf/arm64 platforms on arm based system without qemu simulator.
When building the armhf/arm64 on arm based system, it is not necessary to use qemu simulator.
How I did it
Build armhf on armhf system, or build arm64 on arm64 system, by default, qemu simulator will not be used.
When building armhf on arm64, and you have enabled armhf docker, then it will build images without simulator automatically. It is based how the docker service is run.
Docker base image change:
For amd64, change from debian:to amd64/debian:
For arm64, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:arm64- to arm64v8/debian:
For armhf, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:armhf- to arm32v7/debian:
See https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#architectures-other-than-amd64
The mapping relations:
arm32v6 --- armel
arm32v7 --- armhf
arm64v8 --- arm64
Docker image armhf deprecated info: https://hub.docker.com/r/armhf/debian, using arm32v7 instead.
- Support compile sonic arm image on arm server. If arm image compiling is executed on arm server instead of using qemu mode on x86 server, compile time can be saved significantly.
- Add kernel argument systemd.unified_cgroup_hierarchy=0 for upgrade systemd to version 247, according to #7228
- rename multiarch docker to sonic-slave-${distro}-march-${arch}

**- 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

sonic-cfggen call is slow and this is taking place in the SONiC
boot up process. The change uses templates to assemble all required
vars into single template file. With this change, telemetry now calls
once into sonic-cfggen.

* Multi DB with namespace support, Introducing the database_global.json file
for supporting accessing DB's in other namespaces for service running in
linux host
* Updates based on comments
* Adding the j2 templates for database_config and database_global files.
* Updating to retrieve the redis DIR's to be mounted from database_global.json file.
* Additional check to see if asic.conf file exists before sourcing it.
* Updates based on PR comments discussion.
* Review comments update
* Updates to the argument "-n" for namespace used in both context of parsing minigraph and multi DB access.
* Update with the attribute "persistence_for_warm_boot" that was added to database_config.json file earlier.
* Removing the database_config.json file to avioid confusion in future.
We use the database_config.json.j2 file to generate database_config.json files dynamically.
* Update the comments for sudo usage in docker_image_ctrl.j2
* Update with the new logic in PING PONG tests using sonic-db-cli. With this we wait till the
PONG response is received when redis server is up.
* Similar changes in swss and syncd scripts for the PING tests with sonic-db-cli
* Updated with a missing , in the database_config.json.j2 file, Do pip install of j2cli in docker-base-buster.
libpython2.7, libdaemon0, libdbus-1-3, libjansson4 are common
across different containers. move them into docker-base-stretch

This is an addendum to #3958, which also instructs apt to ignore the "Valid Until" date in Release files inside the slave containers, making a complete solution, much like the previously abandoned PR #2609. This patch also unifies file names and contents.
When the Debian team archives a repo, it stops updating the "Valid Until" date, thus apt-get will not apply updates for that repo unless we explicitly tell it to ignore the "Valid Until" date. Also, this has become an issue with active (i.e., non-archived) repos twice in the past year because the Debian folks seem to occasionally let the expiration lapse before updating the date. This will cause SONiC builds to fail with a message like E: Release file for http://debian-archive.trafficmanager.net/debian-security/dists/jessie/updates/InRelease is expired (invalid since 3d 3h 11min 20s). Updates for this repository will not be applied. until the dates have been updated and propagated to all mirrors. With this patch, SONiC should no longer be affected by lapsed "Valid Until" dates, whether they be accidental or purposeful.
Put a flag for fast-reboot to the db using EXPIRE feature. Using this flag in other part of SONiC to start in Fast-reboot mode. If we reload a config, the state in the db will be removed.

* Added debug symbols to many debug dockers.
* For debug images *only*:
1) Archive source files into debug image
2) Archived source is copied into /src
3) Created an empty dir /debug
4) Mount both /src as ro & /debug as rw into every docker
5) Login banner will give some details on /src & /debug
6) Devs can copy core file into /debug and view it from inside a container.
7) Dev may create all gdb logs and other data directly into /debug.
* Dropped redundant REDIS_TOOLS per review comments.
* Added debug symbols to frr package and hence FRR based BGP docker.
* 1) Moved dbg_files.sh to scripts/
2) Src directories to archive are now collected from individual Makefiles.
3) Added few more debug symbols
4) Added few more debug dockers.
Here after no more changes except per review comments.
To debug:
Install required version of debug image in Switch or VM.
Copy core file into /debug of host
Get into Docker
gdb /usr/bin/<daemon> -c /debug/<your core file>
set directory /src/... <-- inside gdb to get the source
For non-in-depth debugging:
Download corresponding debug Docker image (docker-...-dbg.gz) to your VM
Load the image
Run image with entrypoint as 'bash' with dir containing core mapped in.
Run gdb on the core.
- create a dockerfile-marcros.j2 file with all common operations
written as j2 macro
- use single dockerfile instruction for COPY and RUN commands
when possible to improve build time
- reorganize dockerfile instructions to make more cache friendly
(in case someday we will remove --no-cache to build docker images)
