[nokia] Replace os.system and remove subprocess with shell=True (#12100)
Signed-off-by: maipbui <maibui@microsoft.com>
Dependency: [https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/pull/12065](https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/pull/12065)
#### Why I did it
`subprocess.Popen()` and `subprocess.run()` is used with `shell=True`, which is very dangerous for shell injection.
`os` - not secure against maliciously constructed input and dangerous if used to evaluate dynamic content
`getstatusoutput` is dangerous because it contains `shell=True` in the implementation
#### How I did it
Replace `os` by `subprocess`, use with `shell=False`
Remove unused functions

Ported Marvell armhf build on amd64 host for debian buster to use cross-comp… (#8035)
* Ported Marvell armhf build on x86 for debian buster to use cross-compilation instead of qemu emulation

Current armhf Sonic build on amd64 host uses qemu emulation. Due to the
nature of the emulation it takes a very long time, about 22-24 hours to
complete the build. The change I did to reduce the building time by
porting Sonic armhf build on amd64 host for Marvell platform for debian
buster to use cross-compilation on arm64 host for armhf target. The
overall Sonic armhf building time using cross-compilation reduced to
about 6 hours.

[installer]: fix armhf for installer.conf usage (#11121)
This fixes the build for armhf to be able to use '/device///installer.conf' files. Specifically, armhf needs support to be able to change the size of /var/log/ directory. It is hardcoded to 512 bytes on all armhf platforms currently. This change will allow any armhf platform to be able to use an installer.conf file to customize the installed image.

Parallel building of sonic dockers using native dockerd(dood). (#10352)
Currently, the build dockers are created as a user dockers(docker-base-stretch-<user>, etc) that are
specific to each user. But the sonic dockers (docker-database, docker-swss, etc) are
created with a fixed docker name and common to all the users.

    docker-database:latest
    docker-swss:latest

When multiple builds are triggered on the same build server that creates parallel building issue because
all the build jobs are trying to create the same docker with latest tag.
This happens only when sonic dockers are built using native host dockerd for sonic docker image creation.

This patch creates all sonic dockers as user sonic dockers and then, while
saving and loading the user sonic dockers, it rename the user sonic
dockers into correct sonic dockers with tag as latest.

	docker-database:latest <== SAVE/LOAD ==> docker-database-<user>:tag

The user sonic docker names are derived from 'DOCKER_USERNAME and DOCKER_USERTAG' make env
variable and using Jinja template, it replaces the FROM docker name with correct user sonic docker name for
loading and saving the docker image.

[Marvell-armhf] Setting u-boot ftd_high to resolve kernel hung (#10204)
Why I did it
Kernel hang in during early boot is caused due overwriting of device tree with uncompressing kernel. Added the fdt_high which gives a safe offset from kernel location.

How I did it
Setting uboot environment variable fdt_high.

How to verify it
Successful boot of bullseye kernel on Marvell Armada 380/385.

[Marvell-armhf] Fixing issues related to partition label (#10203)
Why I did it
Removing incorrect check in plt setup for fw_env config: This check was added before to compare 2 different types of disk. Now the check is redundant and check is not required as transition is complete.
2)Removing legacy_volume_label in create_partition: legacy_volume_label is not used in armhf install files. With legacy_volume_label initialized to NULL, current code will always return true for check, if demo_part exits.

How I did it
Change is about removing the redundant/incorrect code explained above.

How to verify it
uboot fw_printenv and fw_setenv is tested
onie-nos-install has be verified.

[build]: marvell-armhf bullseye fixes (#9243)
This commit fixes/avoids the following errors encountered during the
marvell-armhf build for bullseye

- Fix Marvell prestera DMA driver build failure due to kallsyms_lookup_name()
  no longer being exported by the updated bullseye kernel. This is a temporary
  fix that will be replaced by a future version of the DMA driver.

- Update qemu-user-static version to align with the new glibc version included
  in bullseye

- Skip systemd-sonic-generator unit tests to avoid test failures. Root cause is
  still TBD

#### Why I did it
Fix the following build errors observed when building marvell-armhf for bullseye
1. Marvell Prestera DMA driver uses kernel API no longer exported
ERROR: modpost: "kallsyms_lookup_name" [/sonic/platform/marvell-armhf/prestera/mrvl-prestera/cpssEnabler/linuxNoKernelModule/drivers//mvDmaDrv.ko] undefined!

2. Old qemu-user-static version does not support semop() leading to following build failure
semop(1): encountered an error: Function not implemented

3. systemd-sonic-generator unit test failure
ssg-test.cc:217: Failure

[dockers] change RPC, DBG dockers version: put RPG, DBG sign in build metadata part of the version (#8920)
- Why I did it
In case an app.ext requires a dependency syncd^1.0.0, the RPC version of syncd will not satisfy this constraint, since 1.0.0-rpc < 1.0.0. This is not correct to put 'rpc' as a prerelease identifier. Instead put 'rpc' as build metadata in the version: 1.0.0+rpc which satisfies the constraint ^1.0.0.

- How I did it
Changed the way how to version in RPC and DBG images are constructed.

- How to verify it
Install app.ext with syncd^1.0.0 dependency on a switch with RPC syncd docker.

[Nokia ixs7215] Add support for changing the console baud rate (#8595)
This commit adds support for changing the default console baud rate configured
within the U-Boot bootloader. That default baud rate is exposed via the value
of the U-Boot 'baudrate' environment variable. This commit removes logic that
hardcoded the console baud rate to 115200 and instead ensures that the U-Boot
'baudrate' variable is always used when constructing the Linux kernel boot
arguments used when booting Sonic.

A change is also made to rc.local to ensure that the specified baud rate is set
correctly in the serial getty service.

c38b95c899 Remove --net=host from run options for containers
The start template script that this value is used in will determine what
network namespace to use, and will add --net=host if it needs to run in
the host namespace.

With Docker 20.10, if --net=host is specified twice in docker run, then
it errors out. Therefore, remove the explicit --net=host in the run
options setting and let the start template script specify it.

[dockers][supervisor] Increase event buffer size for process exit listener; Set all event buffer sizes to 1024 (#7083)
To prevent error [messages](https://dev.azure.com/mssonic/build/_build/results?buildId=2254&view=logs&j=9a13fbcd-e92d-583c-2f89-d81f90cac1fd&t=739db6ba-1b35-5485-5697-de102068d650&l=802) like the following from being logged:

```
Mar 17 02:33:48.523153 vlab-01 INFO swss#supervisord 2021-03-17 02:33:48,518 ERRO pool supervisor-proc-exit-listener event buffer overflowed, discarding event 46
```

This is basically an addendum to https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5247, which increased the event buffer size for dependent-startup. While supervisor-proc-exit-listener doesn't subscribe to as many events as dependent-startup, there is still a chance some containers (like swss, as in the example above) have enough processes running to cause an overflow of the default buffer size of 10.

This is especially important for preventing erroneous log_analyzer failures in the sonic-mgmt repo regression tests, which have started occasionally causing PR check builds to fail. Example [here](https://dev.azure.com/mssonic/build/_build/results?buildId=2254&view=logs&j=9a13fbcd-e92d-583c-2f89-d81f90cac1fd&t=739db6ba-1b35-5485-5697-de102068d650&l=802).

I set all supervisor-proc-exit-listener event buffer sizes to 1024, and also updated all dependent-startup event buffer sizes to 1024, as well, to keep things simple, unified, and allow headroom so that we will not need to adjust these values frequently, if at all.

[syncd-rpc] Install Libboost Atomic 1.71, Libqtcore And Libqtnetwork (#6689)
When Building syncd-rpc, libthrift has dependency on libboost-atomic1.71.0,
however the debian packager install version 1.67 instead. This PR
preinstalls libboost-atomic v 1.71 to avoid falling back to v 1.67.

[supervisord] Monitoring the critical processes with supervisord. (#6242)
- 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.

[Nokia ixs7215] Add SW assist for platform entropy & fix inband mgmt support (#6417)
- Improve random number generation during early Sonic initialization by providing SW updates to Linux entropy value.
- Improve handling of platform In-Band management port

This commit provides the following updates to the Nokia ixs7215 platform

1. The Marvell Armada-38x SOC requires SW assistance to improve the system
   entropy value available early on in the Sonic boot sequence.
2. The Nokia ixs7215 platform does not have a dedicated Out-Of-Band (OOB) mgmt
   port and thus requires additional logic to optionally support configuring
   front panel port 48 as an In-Band mgmt port. This commit provides additional
   logic to manage and maintain the operation of this In-Band mgmt port.
