Why I did it
At service start up time, there are chances that the networking service is being restarted by interface-config service. When that happens, write_standby could fail to make DB connections due to loopback interface is being reconfigured.
How I did it
Force the db connector to use unix socket to avoid loopback reconfig timing window.
How to verify it
Run config reload test 20+ times and no issue encountered.

chassis-packet: missing arp entries for static routes causing high orchagent cpu usage
It is observed that some sonic-mgmt test case calls sonic-clear arp, which clears the static arp entries as well. Orchagent or arp_update process does not try to resolve the missing arp entries after clear.
How I did it
arp_update should resolve the missing arp/ndp static route
entries. Added code to check for missing entries and try ping if any
found to resolve it.
How to verify it
After boot or config reload, check ipv4 and ipv4 neigh entries to make sure all static route entries are present
manual validation:
Use sonic-clear arp and sonic-clear ndp to clear all neighbor entries
run arp_update
Check for neigh entries. All entries should be present.

Vendor platform may require running platform specific pre-shutdown routine before shutting down the syncd process which runs the SAI and vendor sdk instance.
How I did it
Added a platform script hook which will be executed if the plugin script is provided by the platform in device//plugins/
Changing the default config knob value to be True for killing radv, due to the reasons below:
Killing RADV is to prevent sending the "cease to be advertising interface" protocol packet.
RFC 4861 says this ceasing packet as "should" instead of "must", considering that it's fatal to not do this.
In active-active scenario, host side might have difficulty distinguish if the "cease to be advertising interface" is for the last interface leaving.
6.2.5. Ceasing To Be an Advertising Interface
shutting down the system.
In such cases, the router SHOULD transmit one or more (but not more
than MAX_FINAL_RTR_ADVERTISEMENTS) final multicast Router
Advertisements on the interface with a Router Lifetime field of zero.
In the case of a router becoming a host, the system SHOULD also
depart from the all-routers IP multicast group on all interfaces on
which the router supports IP multicast (whether or not they had been
advertising interfaces). In addition, the host MUST ensure that
subsequent Neighbor Advertisement messages sent from the interface
have the Router flag set to zero.

How I did it
radv sends a good-bye packet when the service is stopped, which causes a IPv6 route update on SoC side. And this update leads to an interface bouncing and causes traffic disruption even though the ToR device might already be isolated.
This PR is to mitigate the traffic disruption issue during planned maintenance, by killing radv instead of stopping. So the cease packet won't be sent.
How to verify it
Verified on dev clusters:
Traffic disruption was no longer reproducible.
radv took the killing path
if knob was off, radv would take the stopping path

- Why I did it
This optimization is needed for DPU SONiC. DPU SONiC runs a limited set of containers and teamd and radv containers are not part of them. Unlike the other containers, there was no possibility to disable teamd and radv containers compilation.
To reduce DPU SONiC compilation time and reduce the image size this commit adds the possibility to disable their compilation.
- How I did it
Two new configuration options are added to rules/config file:
INCLUDE_TEAMD
INCLUDE_ROUTER_ADVERTISER
By default to preserve the existing behavior both options are enabled. There are two ways to override them:
To change option value to "n" in rules/config file.
To override their value using SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS env variable:
SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS="SONIC_INCLUDE_TEAMD=y SONIC_INCLUDE_ROUTER_ADVERTISER=n"
- How to verify it
The default behavior is preserved. To verify it compile the image without overriding new options. Install the image and verify that both teamd and radv containers are present and running.
To verify the new options override them with "n" value. Compile and install image. Verify that no docker containers are present. Verify that SWSS can start without errors.

Why I did it
There is an issue on the Arista PikeZ platform (using T3.X2: BCM56274) while running SONiC. If the 'syncd' container in SONiC is restarted, the expected behaviour is that syncd will automatically restart/recover; however it does not and always fails at create_switch due to BCM SDK kmod DMA operation cancellation getting stuck.

Reloading the BCM SDK kmods allows the switch init to continue properly.
How I did it
If BCM SDK kmods are loaded, unload and load them again on syncd docker start script.
How to verify it
Steps to reproduce:
In SONiC, run 'docker ps' to see current running containers; 'syncd' should be present.
Run 'docker stop syncd'
Wait ~1 minute.
Run 'docker ps' to see that syncd is missing.
Check logs to see messages similar to the above.

Why I did:
In case of multi-asic platforms gbsyncd is not getting added to Feature Table of Host Config DB. Without this container_checker complains of not needed gbsyncd container's are running.
How I did:

How I verify:
Verified on Multi-asic platforms.
Change `sxdkernel start` to `sxdkernel restart`. If `syncd` service crashes in `ExecStartPre` systemd will not call `ExecStop` and thus will not call `sxdkernel stop`. Use of `sxdkernel restart` is more robust in terms of guarantees to restore the system after unexpected crashes.

bgp should be a per-asic service, and runs for each namespace on
multi-asic platforms. However, putting bgp in MULTI_INST_DEPENDENT
causes swss to be restarted as well as bgp. this is causing issues after #11000
Issue: #11653
This fix:
removes bgp from dependents list
adds a conditional that either adds bgp, or bgp@$DEV to separate
between single and multi-asic platforms
When using trap on SIGTERM the script will not react to the SIGTERM signal sent while a child is executing.
I.e, the following script does not react on SIGTERM sent to it if it is
waiting for sleep to finish:
```
trap "echo Handled SIGTERM" 0 2 3 15
echo "Before sleep"
sleep inf
echo "After sleep"
```
Instead, trap only on EXIT which covers also a scenario with exit on
SIGINT, SIGTERM.

In arp_update, check for FAILED or INCOMPLETE kernel neighbor entries and manually ping them to try and resolve the neighbor
Signed-off-by: Lawrence Lee <lawlee@microsoft.com>
Why I did it
The initial value has to be present for the state machines to work. In active-standby dual-tor scenario, or any hardware mux scenario, the value will be updtaed eventually with a delay.
However, in active-active dual-tor scenario, there is no other mechanism to initialize the value and get state machines started.
So this script will have to write something at start up time.
For active-active dualtor, 'active' is a more preferred initial value, the state machine will switch the state to standby soon if
link prober found link not in good state.
How I did it
Update the script to always provide initial values.
How to verify it
Tested on active-active dual-tor testbed.

Recent change to delay PMON service in case of fast/warm reboot introduce an issue when restarting only SWSS service after fast/warm reboot for Nvidia platform.
Since the timer is triggered only when the system boot, in a scenario when the system is after a fast/warm reboot and the user restart SWSS service, as part of syncd.sh script, PMON service will stop but the timer will not start again.

On syncd.sh script, in case of fast/warm indication, check if pmon.timer is running.
If it is running it means we are at the first boot and continue normally.
If it is not running, meaning the service was restarted, start the timer to keep the system behavior consistent.
