- Why I did it
To upgrade brcm syncd to buster
- How I did it
Updated BCM SAI using kernel version 4.19.0-12 and debian 10 to support buster.
Updated syncd docker from stretch to buster in sonic-buildimage
- How to verify it
Ensured docker is running synd buster.
After upgrade, ensured all BGP peers and ip interfaces are up.
Ping to BGP neighbors is working fine.
**- 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
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.
- This PR allows supervisord to log syncd exit events to syslog
- Syncd dockers now are built from docker-config-engine instead of docker-base
- Supervisord in all syncd dockers now call syncd_start.s which is installed by sonic-sairedis repo
- Consolidate config.sh and start.sh scripts into one script (start.sh)
- Solve issue #435 - All dockers now run supervisord as their ENTRYPOINT
- All stdout/stderr output from processes managed by supervisord is now sent to syslog instead of their own files
- Supervisord log messages are now also sent to syslog
- Removed unused smartmontools package from docker-platform-monitor
