- Why I did it
Profiling the system state on init after fast-reboot during create_switch function execution, it is possible to see few python scripts running at the same time.
This parallel execution consume CPU time and the duration of create_switch is longer than it should be.
Following this finding, and the motivation to ensure these services will not interfere in the future, PMON is delayed in 90 seconds until the system finish the init flow after fastboot.
- How I did it
Add a timer for PMON service.
Exclude for MLNX platform the start trigger of PMON when SYNCD starts in case of fastboot.
Copy the timer file to the host bin image.
- How to verify it
Run fast-reboot on MLNX platform and observe faster create_switch execution time.

Why I did it
To support address sanitizer for Mellanox syncd
How I did it
/var/log/asan is mapped for syncd container (the same as for swss)
container stop() has a timeout (60s) for syncd (the same as for swss)
This is so libasan has enough time to generate a report.
added ASAN's log path to Mellanox syncd supervisord.conf
added "asan: yes" to sonic_version.yml
How to verify it
Added artificial memory leaks
Compiled with ENABLE_ASAN=y
Installed the image on DUT
Rebooted the DUT
Verified that /var/log/asan/syncd-asan.log contains the leaks

Why I did it
In the bringup of tomahawk4/trident4, we realized that such chips need a larger size of /dev/shm in syncd container, so we added the option --shm-size to the docker create for syncd. The default value for shm-size is 64m; after this change, people can add SYNCD_SHM_SIZE=128m to platform_env.conf to change it to 128m.
How to verify it
We verified that after this change, 1) on existing platforms without platform_env.conf, the size of /dev/shm in syncd container (df -h | grep shm) is still the default 64M; 2) after we add SYNCD_SHM_SIZE=128m to platform_env.conf, /dev/shm in syncd becomes 128M.
Why I did it
The marvel-armhf build is hung, it does not exit after waiting for a long time.

amrhf build fails while building sonic-config-engine whl package
https://dev.azure.com/mssonic/be1b070f-be15-4154-aade-b1d3bfb17054/_apis/build/builds/77089/logs/9
The reason for the failure is due to the fact that there is a new line generated at the top of the file in buffer config test cases while building for broadcom based platform and this issue is not seen in Marvell based platforms.
How I did it
Removed the new line for all the buffer test cases as there is no need to add it and accordingly changed the buffer_config.j2 where the new line is generated.
Implement infrastructure that allows enabling address sanitizer
for docker containers. Enable address sanitizer for SWSS container.
- Why I did it
To add a possibility to compile SONiC applications with address sanitizer (ASAN).
ASAN is a memory error detector for C/C++. It finds:
1. Use after free (dangling pointer dereference)
2. Heap buffer overflow
3. Stack buffer overflow
4. Global buffer overflow
5. Use after return
6. Use after the scope
7. Initialization order bugs
8. Memory leaks
- How I did it
By adding new ENABLE_ASAN configuration option.
- How to verify it
By default ASAN is disabled and the SONiC image is not affected.
When ASAN is enabled it inspects all allocation, deallocation, and memory usage that the application does in run time. To verify whether the application has memory errors tests that trigger memory usage of the application should be run. Ideally, the whole regression tests should be run. Memory leaks reports will be placed in /var/log/asan/ directory of SONiC host OS.

Why I did it
Requirements from Microsoft for fwutil update all state that all firmwares which support this upgrade flow must support upgrade within a single boot cycle. This conflicted with a number of Mellanox upgrade flows which have been revised to safely meet this requirement.
How I did it
Added --no-power-cycle flags to SSD and ONIE firmware scripts
Modified Platform API to call firmware upgrade flows with this new flag during fwutil update all
Added a script to our reboot plugin to handle installing firmwares in the correct order with prior to reboot
How to verify it
Populate platform_components.json with firmware for CPLD / BIOS / ONIE / SSD
Execute fwutil update all fw --boot cold
CPLD will burn / ONIE and BIOS images will stage / SSD will schedule for reboot
Reboot the switch
SSD will install / CPLD will refresh / switch will power cycle into ONIE
ONIE installer will upgrade ONIE and BIOS / switch will reboot back into SONiC
In SONiC run fwutil show status to check that all firmware upgrades were successful

Why I did it
Need to be able to run smartctl when pmon docker is not running.
How I did it
Removed the pmon dependency for pmon as well as the command wrapper and added it to the debian-extension.
How to verify it
Stop pmon
Run smartctl from the host and verify it runs without error
Why I did it
The existing log file size in sonic is 1 Mb. Over a period of time this leads to huge number of log files which becomes difficult for monitoring applications to handle.
Instead of large number of small files, the size of the log file is not set to 16 Mb which reduces the number of files over a period of time.
How I did it
Changed the size parameter and related macros in logrotate config for rsyslog
How to verify it
Execute logrotate manually and verify the limit when the file gets rotated.

#### Why I did it
Adds P4RT container to SONiC for PINS
The P4RT app is covered by this HLD:
https://github.com/pins/SONiC/blob/master/doc/pins/p4rt_app_hld.md
#### How I did it
Followed the pattern and templates used for other SONiC applications
#### How to verify it
Build SONiC with INCLUDE_P4RT set to "y".
Verify that the resulting build has a container called "p4rt" running.
You can verify that the service is up by running the following command on the SONiC switch:
```bash
sudo netstat -lpnt | grep p4rt
```
You should see the service listening on TCP port 9559.

The function updateSyslogConf() should only generate the rsyslog.conf for containers in the namespace. it should not do it for the containers in the global instance. Instead, default rsyslog.conf should be used. Especially for database container, updateSyslogConf() is called before the database container is created. The result cause the sonic-cfggen failed to generate the rsyslog.conf.Why I did it

- 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.
