Added new flag value 'always_enabled' for the state and auto-restart field of feature table
init_cfg.json is updated to initialize state field of database/swss/syncd/teamd feature and auto-restart field of database feature
as always_enabled
Once the state/auto-restart value is initialized as "always_enabled" it is immutable and cannot be change via feature config commands. (config feature..) PR#Azure/sonic-utilities#1271
hostcfgd will not take any action if state field value is 'always_enabled'
Since we have always_enabled field for auto-restart updated supervisor-proc-exit-listener
not to have special check for database and always rely on value from Feature table.
- Fix bug: `CORE_FILE_DIR` previously was set to `os.path.basename(__file__)`, which would resolve to the script name. Fix this by hardcoding to `/var/core/`
- Remove locally-define logging functions; use Logger class from sonic-py-common instead
**- Why I did it**
On teamd docker restart, the swss and syncd needs to be restarted as there are dependent resources present.
**- How I did it**
Add the teamd as a dependent service for swss
Updated the docker-wait script to handle service and dependent services separately.
Handle the case of warm-restart for the dependent service
**- How to verify it**
Verified the following scenario's with the following testbed
VM1 ----------------------------[DUT 6100] -----------------------VM2, ping traffic continuous between VMs
1. Stop teamd docker alone
> swss, syncd dockers seen going away
> The LAG reference count error messages seen for a while till swss docker stops.
> Dockers back up.
2. Enable WR mode for teamd. Stop teamd docker alone
> swss, syncd dockers not removed.
> The LAG reference count error messages not seen
> Repeated stop teamd docker test - same result, no effect on swss/syncd.
3. Stop swss docker.
> swss, teamd, syncd goes off - dockers comes back correctly, interfaces up
4. Enable WR mode for swss . Stop swss docker
> swss goes off not affecting syncd/teamd dockers.
5. Config reload
> no reference counter error seen, dockers comes back correctly, with interfaces up
6. Warm reboot, observations below
> swss docker goes off first
> teamd + syncd goes off to the end of WR process.
> dockers comes back up fine.
> ping traffic between VM's was NOT HIT
7. Fast reboot, observations below
> teamd goes off first ( **confirmed swss don't exit here** )
> swss goes off next
> syncd goes away at the end of the FR process
> dockers comes back up fine.
> there is a traffic HIT as per fast-reboot

**- Why I did it**
When I tested auto-restart feature of swss container by manually killing one of critical processes in it, swss will be stopped. Then syncd container as the peer container should also be
stopped as expected. However, I found sometimes syncd container can be stopped, sometimes
it can not be stopped. The reason why syncd container can not be stopped is the process
(/usr/local/bin/syncd.sh stop) to execute the stop() function will be stuck between the lines 164 –167. Systemd will wait for 90 seconds and then kill this process.
164 # wait until syncd quit gracefully
165 while docker top syncd$DEV | grep -q /usr/bin/syncd; do
166 sleep 0.1
167 done
The first thing I did is to profile how long this while loop will spin if syncd container can be
normally stopped after swss container is stopped. The result is 5 seconds or 6 seconds. If syncd
container can be normally stopped, two messages will be written into syslog:
str-a7050-acs-3 NOTICE syncd#dsserve: child /usr/bin/syncd exited status: 134
str-a7050-acs-3 INFO syncd#supervisord: syncd [5] child /usr/bin/syncd exited status: 134
The second thing I did was to add a timer in the condition of while loop to ensure this while loop will be forced to exit after 20 seconds:
After that, the testing result is that syncd container can be normally stopped if swss is stopped
first. One more thing I want to mention is that if syncd container is stopped during 5 seconds or 6 seconds, then the two log messages can be still seen in syslog. However, if the execution
time of while loop is longer than 20 seconds and is forced to exit, although syncd container can be stopped, I did not see these two messages in syslog. Further, although I observed the auto-restart feature of swss container can work correctly right now, I can not make sure the issue which syncd container can not stopped will occur in future.
**- How I did it**
I added a timer around the while loop in stop() function. This while loop will exit after spinning
20 seconds.

sonic-netns-exec fails to execute below command in swss.sh:

for j,name in ipairs(matches) do

end
end" 0
This command fails with error " redis.exceptions.ResponseError: value is not an integer or out of range" .
Root cause:
When sonic-netns-exec executes the above function, argument passed to sonic-db-cli is NOT executed as a single script.
The argument is passed as separate keywords to sonic-db-cli, as below:
['EVAL', 'local', 'tables', '=', "{'PORT_TABLE*'}", 'for', 'i', '=', '1,', 'table.getn(tables)', 'do', 'local', 'matches', '=', "redis.call('KEYS',", 'tables[i])', 'for', 'j,name', 'in', 'ipairs(matches)', 'do', "redis.call('DEL',", 'name)', 'end', 'end', '0']
- How I did it
To make sure that the parameters are passed as they were set initially, fix sonic-netns-exec to use double quoted "$@", where "$@" is "$1" "$2" "$3" ... "${N}"
After fix, the argument passed to sonic-db-cli is as below:

If we need to stop swss during fast-reboot procedure on the boot up path,
it means that something went wrong, like syncd/orchagent crashed already,
we are stopping and restarting swss/syncd to re-initialize. In this case,
we should proceed as if it is a cold reboot.

Add the same mechanism I developed for the SwSS service in #2845 to the syncd service. However, in order to cause the SwSS service to also exit and restart in this situation, I developed a docker-wait-any program which the SwSS service uses to wait for either the swss or syncd containers to exit.
Issue Overview
shutdown flow
For any shutdown flow, which means all dockers are stopped in order, pmon docker stops after syncd docker has stopped, causing pmon docker fail to release sx_core resources and leaving sx_core in a bad state. The related logs are like the following:
INFO syncd.sh[23597]: modprobe: FATAL: Module sx_core is in use.
INFO syncd.sh[23597]: Unloading sx_core[FAILED]
INFO syncd.sh[23597]: rmmod: ERROR: Module sx_core is in use
config reload & service swss.restart
In the flows like "config reload" and "service swss restart", the failure cause further consequences:
sx_core initialization error with error message like "sx_core: create EMAD sdq 0 failed. err: -16"
syncd fails to execute the create switch api with error message "syncd_main: Runtime error: :- processEvent: failed to execute api: create, key: SAI_OBJECT_TYPE_SWITCH:oid:0x21000000000000, status: SAI_STATUS_FAILURE"
swss fails to call SAI API "SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_INIT_SWITCH", which causes orchagent to restart. This will introduce an extra 1 or 2 minutes for the system to be available, failing related test cases.
reboot, warm-reboot & fast-reboot
In the reboot flows including "reboot", "fast-reboot" and "warm-reboot" this failure doesn't have further negative effects since the system has already rebooted. In addition, "warm-reboot" requires the system to be shutdown as soon as possible to meet the GR time restriction of both BGP and LACP. "fast-reboot" also requires to meet the GR time restriction of BGP which is longer than LACP. In this sense, any unnecessary steps should be avoided. It's better to keep those flows untouched.
summary
To summarize, we have to come up with a way to ensure:
shutdown pmon docker ahead of syncd for "config reload" or "service swss restart" flow;
don't shutdown pmon docker ahead of syncd for "fast-reboot" or "warm-reboot" flow in order to save time.
for "reboot" flow, either order is acceptable.
Solution
To solve the issue, pmon shoud be stopped ahead of syncd stopped for all flows except for the warm-reboot.
- How I did it
To stop pmon ahead of syncd stopped. This is done in /usr/local/bin/syncd.sh::stop() and for all shutdown sequence.
Now pmon stops ahead of syncd so there must be a way in which pmon can start after syncd started. Another point that should be taken consideration is that pmon starting should be deferred so that services which have the logic of graceful restart in fast-reboot and warm-reboot have sufficient CPU cycles to meet their deadline.
This is done by add "syncd.service" as "After" to pmon.service and startin /usr/local/bin/syncd.sh::wait()
To start pmon automatically after syncd started.
