Why I did it
During the system boot up when 'show platform status' or 'show version' command is executed before STATE_DB CHASSIS_INFO table is populated, the show will try to fallback to use the platform API. The DMI file in mellanox platforms require root permission for access. So if the show commands are executed as admin or any other user, the following error log will appear in the syslog
Jun 28 17:21:25.612123 sonic ERR show: Fail to decode DMI /sys/firmware/dmi/entries/2-0/raw due to PermissionError(13, 'Permission denied')
How I did it
Check the file permission before accessing it.
How to verify it
Added UT to verify. Manually verified if the error log is not thrown.
- Why I did it
This is for the eventual support of multiple architectures for the mellanox platform.
- How I did it
Change the location of the binaries in Switch-SDK-drivers so that the path specifies the target architecture in addition to the target distribution that the debians are built for.
This is the most straightforward way to separate binaries built against different architectures and selectively target them for installation in the mellanox SONiC image.
- How to verify it
Build SONiC for mellanox and verify it compiles successfully.
- Why I did it
To provide an ability to suppress ASAN false positives and have a clean ASAN report for docker-sonic-vs/mlnx-syncd/orchagent docker
- How I did it
Added the "print_suppressions=0" to ASAN configs.
- How to verify it
add a suppression to some ASAN-enabled component (the suppression should catch some leak)
build with ENABLE_ASAN=y
run a test and see that the ASAN report is empty instead of having the suppression summary

This is to improve the readability of ASAN reports. The debug package adds function names and source code references to the backtrace (currently, there are only binary addresses of functions)
Another way to address this issue is to build the image with "INSTALL_DEBUG_TOOLS=y". The downside of this approach is that the image size and compilation time are unnecessarily big. Also, the idea is to make the "ENABLE_ASAN" self-sufficient, which would not be the case for this approach.

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.

InvalidPsuVolWA.run might raise exception if user power off PSU when it is running. This exception is not caught and will be raised to psud which causes psud failed to update PSU data to DB.
- How I did it
1. Change the log level when WA does not work. This could happen when user power off PSU, hence changing the log level from error to warning is better
2. Change the wait time from 5 to 1 to avoid introduce too much delay in psud. 1 second is usually enough per my test
3. Give a default return value for function get_voltage_low_threshold and get_voltage_high_threshold to avoid exception reach to psud

New features:
1. hw-mgmt: add to PSU FW upgrade tool command to show current FW version
2. hw-mgmt: add to PSU FW upgrade tool support for single-PSU-in-the-system FW upgrade
3. hw-mgmt: add attribute “/firmware” to show FW version of restricted upgradable PSUs only
4. hw-mgmt: Add NVME temperature reports attributes (_alarm/_crit/_min/_max)
Bug fix:
1. psu: redundant i2c_addr attributes being created for psu 3 & 4 in system having only 2 psus.
2. hw-mgmt: in SPC1/2 i2c driver removal is too slow vs. ASIC reset causing non-functional log errors
3. PSU thresholds sysfs changed in 5.10 to “read only” preventing modification (modification required due PSU HW bug)
4. CPLD3 sysfs attribute missing after chip down/up flow
5. sysfs attributes missing when hw-mgmt is restarted (stop/start) within systemd

The latest upgrade of Mellanox hw-mgmt V7.0020.1300 introduced a couple new kernel modules for new Mellanox platforms that have yet to be upstreamed to the linux kernel.
As these new platforms do not have SONiC support we elected not to upstream these new drivers to sonic-linux-kernel but hw-mgmt expects them to exist which is causing a non-functional error on switch boot.
Feb 15 00:09:55.374130 r-leopard-simx-74 ERR systemd-modules-load[269]: Failed to find module 'emc2305'
Feb 15 00:09:55.374141 r-leopard-simx-74 ERR systemd-modules-load[269]: Failed to find module 'ads1015'
To resolve this we can patch hw-mgmt to no longer attempt to load these modules by default.
- How I did it
Added a SONiC patch to Mellanox hw-mgmt in order to remove the unused kernel modules which were not upstreamed to sonic-linux-kernel
- How to verify it
Boot switch and verify there are no error logs regarding kernel modules failing to load.

In SONiC thermal control algorithm, it compares thermal zone temperature with thermal zone threshold. Previously, a thermal zone with no thermal sensor can still get its threshold. However, a recently driver patch changes this behavior: a thermal zone with no thermal sensor will return 0 for threshold. We need to ignore such thermal zone.

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

SDK
1. Under various circumstances, Ethernet ports falsely showed that InfiniBand cables were connected.
2. In SN4600C, at times, the link up time in both DAC and optics cables may, in the worst case, take up to 15 seconds.
3. Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times
4. When ECMP has high amount of next-hops based on VLAN interfaces, in some rare cases, packets will get a wrong VLAN tag and will be dropped.
5. When connecting Spectrum devices with optical transceivers that support RXLOS, remote side port down might cause the switch firmware to get stuck and cause unexpected switch behavior.
6. Aggregation event is missing for WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty'.
7. Tying the SCL and SDA of the optical modules to 3.3V causes errors.
8. On SN4600, there was a delay of more than 10 seconds from the time a data packet is sent from CPU until it is transmitted through one of the switch ports.
9. While using SN4600C system with Finisar FTLC1157RGPL 100GbE CWDM4 modules, intermittent link flaps across multiple ports may be observed.
10. In Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 systems, link did not work in auto-negotiation when connected to Marvell PHY. KR mechanism has been enhanced to integrate with Marvell PHY.
11. The tunnel counter counts the drop packets now for Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 and consistent with Spectrum behavior and count the ECN dropped packets as well.
12. When connecting SN3800 to Cisco-9000, fast-linkup flow will fail and will rise in the normal flow.
13. Race condition in WJH library: when multiple threads load the LAG shared memory concurrently, the program may crash.
14. Add WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty' as a new drop reason.
15. Fixed a memory leak in sx_api_port_sflow_statistics_get API.
16. During initialization flow, the command interface that is used by the minimal driver and SDK caused the collision in the firmware since the same buffer is used in the firmware for the two interfaces.
17. Fix route issue on Kernel 5.10

Why I did it
Support zero buffer profiles
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
Dependency: It depends on Azure/sonic-swss#1910 and submodule advancing PR once the former merged.
How I did it
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
If the buffer model is static:
Apply normal buffer profiles to admin-up ports
Apply zero buffer profiles to admin-down ports
If the buffer model is dynamic:
Apply normal buffer profiles to all ports
buffer manager will take care when a port is shut down
Update buffers_config.j2 to support INACTIVE PORTS by extending the existing macros to generate the various buffer objects, including PGs, queues, ingress/egress profile lists
Originally, all the macros to generate the above buffer objects took active ports only as an argument
Now that buffer items need to be generated on inactive ports as well, an extra argument representing the inactive ports need to be added
To be backward compatible, a new series of macros are introduced to take both active and inactive ports as arguments
The original version (with active ports only) will be checked first. If it is not defined, then the extended version will be called
Only vendors who support zero profiles need to change their buffer templates
Enable buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file:
The JSON file is provided on a per-platform basis
It is copied from platform/<vendor> folder to /usr/share/sonic/temlates folder in compiling time and rendered when the swss container is being created.
To make code clean and reduce redundant code, extract common macros from buffer_defaults_t{0,1}.j2 of all SKUs to two common files:
One in Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8 for single ingress pool mode
The other in ACS-MSN2700 for double ingress pool mode
Those files of all other SKUs will be symbol link to the above files
Update sonic-cfggen test accordingly:
Adjust example output file of JSON template for unit test
Add unit test in for Mellanox's new buffer templates.
How to verify it
Regression test.
Unit test in sonic-cfggen
Run regression test and manually test.

When PSU is powered off, the PSU is still on the switch and the air flow is still the same. In this case, it is not necessary to set FAN speed to 100%.
- How I did it
When PSU is powered of, don't treat it as absent.
- How to verify it
Adjust existing unit test case
Add new case in sonic-mgmt
- Why I did it
Support PSU voltage high/low thresholds and power max threshold
1. Add thresholds support for voltage and power.
2. As thresholds are not supported on all platforms, we need to check the capability first and fetch thresholds only if it is supported.

- How to verify it
Run regression test and manual test.

#### Why I did it
Mellanox builds were failing intermittently due to the `issue_version` file and MFT package not building correctly in the Azure pipeline environment (both of these packages were patched to build correctly with bullseye running on the host and buster running on the dockers)
#### How I did it
Fixed two problems:
1. BLDENV is not passed to the Makefiles so the references to this were replaced with correct logic
2. `issue_version` was not defined as a target for bullseye and as such was not cached. Altered the build such that it is defined as a target for bullseye (in the case of buster it builds the file, in the case of bullseye it copies from buster)
The previous PR fixing this was reverted as it is no longer necessary for a passing build and was not a long-term fix. https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/9235
#### How to verify it
Build on AZP and verify success.
The issu-version file for Mellanox is generated from the Mellanox SDK
libraries. The SDK is installed into a Buster docker container, but the
issu-version file goes onto the base OS, which is Bullseye. To work
around this, the issu-version build rules explicitly copies the
issu-version file to target/files/bullseye/ during the Buster build.
Because of our build infra, if caching is enabled and a cache is being
used, then for issu-version, since it is technically built as part of
Buster, then only target/files/buster/issu-version is saved into the
cache, and target/files/bullseye/issu-version isn't cached. If this
cache gets used, then target/files/bullseye/issu-version is missing, and
the final image build fails.
This is to work around the current build issue where Mellanox builds are
failing. This is so that issu-version is always "built", so that copy is
made into the bullseye directory.

- 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.

Install app.ext with syncd^1.0.0 dependency on a switch with RPC syncd docker.

Sanity tests and PR checkers.
Why I did it
Currently the mellanox platform API is validating the file extensions of firmware packages to be installed for basic sanity checking. However, ONIE packages do not have an extension and as such if there is a "." in the name it is taken to be an extension and then fails the sanity check.
How I did it
I removed the check which ensures that ONIE images don't have a file extension.
How to verify it
Name the ONIE updater file 2021.onie and attempt to install it via fwutil install fw 2021.onie --yes
Why I did it
The fwutil update all utility expects the auto_update_firmware method in the Platform API to execute the update_firmware() call and not the install_firmware() call.
How I did it
Changed the method in the mellanox platform API component implementation.
How to verify it
Run fwutil update all with a CPLD update on a Mellanox platform and verify that it properly updates the firmware using the MPFA file.

Update SDK\FW version to 4.4.3326\2008.3326. This version contains:
New Features:
1. Add support for Fast Boot for SN3800
Bug Fixing:
1. In some cases, when the total number of allocations exceeds the resource limit, an error can occur due to incorrect resource release procedure. This issue is most likely to affect the following resources: flow counters, ACL actions, PBS, WJH filter, Tunnels, ECMP containers, MC (L2 &L3)
2. On Spectrum systems, when using Async Router API with IPV6, an error message in the log regarding failing to remove ECMP container may show up. This error is not functional and can be safely ignored.
3. On Spectrum-2 systems and above, when using warm boot, setting max_bridge_num to a value greater than 1968 will cause an error and potential crash.
4. Some Molex cables do not support speed after reboot

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.

Why I did it
BIOS upgrade on rare cases cannot guarantee bus value remain the same on every BIOS release. Ignoring this field in order for pcied not to fail but still verify device id in a different way. The solution is future proof and will not require changes in code when new BIOS version is available
How I did it
Since bus is not a fixed value (it is determined by the bios version) we are ignoring this field, and instead checking if there is a device that match on all other fields that and in addition has a matching device id.
How to verify it
Verify no errors or failures in pcied on different BIOS version with the same code base.
