…1.11 by using efivar tool instead
#### Why I did it
solution to BUG below/
https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-buildimage/issues/14316
bug report also in this issue:
backport: secureboot support #14246
#### How I did it
When installing an image secure boot is checking if the UEFI have the secure boot flag enabled or disabled using a tool name `mokutil` this tool its not exist in ONIE version older than 2021.11 so its crasshing the install.
To fix that we add a coded that checking secure boot enabled/disabled by using efivar tool that should exist in any UEFI system
#### How to verify it
Install the image in a device with ONIE version older than 2021.11 and check that the installation and boot succeed (all docker up).
Why I did it
The demo_part_size should be initialized before creating partition.
How I did it
Move the initializing setting to the line before using it.
How to verify it
- Why I did it
Add Secure Boot support to SONiC OS.
Secure Boot (SB) is a verification mechanism for ensuring that code launched by a computer's UEFI firmware is trusted. It is designed to protect a system against malicious code being loaded and executed early in the boot process before the operating system has been loaded.
- How I did it
Added a signing process to sign the following components:
shim, grub, Linux kernel, and kernel modules when doing the build, and when feature is enabled in build time according to the HLD explanations (the feature is disabled by default).
- How to verify it
There are self-verifications of each boot component when building the image, in addition, there is an existing end-to-end test in sonic-mgmt repo that checks that the boot succeeds when loading a secure system (details below).
How to build a sonic image with secure boot feature: (more description in HLD)
Required to use the following build flags from rules/config:
SECURE_UPGRADE_MODE="dev"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_KEY="/path/to/private/key.pem"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_CERT="/path/to/cert/key.pem"
After setting those flags should build the sonic-buildimage.
Before installing the image, should prepared the setup (switch device) with the follow:
check that the device support UEFI
stored pub keys in UEFI DB
enabled Secure Boot flag in UEFI
How to run a test that verify the Secure Boot flow:
The existing test "test_upgrade_path" under "sonic-mgmt/tests/upgrade_path/test_upgrade_path", is enough to validate proper boot
You need to specify the following arguments:
Base_image_list your_secure_image
Taget_image_list your_second_secure_image
Upgrade_type cold
And run the test, basically the test will install the base image given in the parameter and then upgrade to target image by doing cold reboot and validates all the services are up and working correctly
#### Why I did it
The %%EXTRA_CMDLINE_LINUX%% is not replaced to the real value, it has impact on the kernel parameter settings.
See the log sonic-vs.img.gz.log in the latest master build. In the grub.cfg, the %%EXTRA_CMDLINE_LINUX%% is set in the linux command line.
```
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
Switch CPU vendor is: GenuineIntel
Switch CPU cstates are: disabled
EXTRA_CMDLINE_LINUX=%%EXTRA_CMDLINE_LINUX%%
Installed SONiC base image SONiC-OS successfully
ONIE: NOS install successful: file://dev/vdb/onie-installer.bin
```
Refactors the SONiC Installer to support greater flexibility in building for a given architecture and bootloader.
#### Why I did it
Currently the SONiC installer assumes that if a platform is ARM based that it uses the `uboot` bootloader and uses the `grub` bootloader otherwise. This is not a correct assumption to make as ARM is not strictly tied to uboot and x86 is not strictly tied to grub.
#### How I did it
To implement this I introduce the following changes:
* Remove the different arch folders from the `installer/` directory
* Merge the generic components of the ARM and x86 installer into `installer/installer.sh`
* Refactor x86 + grub specific functions into `installer/default_platform.conf`
* Modify installer to call `default_platform.conf` file and also call `platform/[platform]/patform.conf` file as well to override as needed
* Update references to the installer in the `build_image.sh` script
* Add `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` variable that is by default `uboot` for ARM devices and `grub` for x86 unless overridden in `platform/[platform]/rules.mk`
* Update bootloader logic in `build_debian.sh` to be based on `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` instead of `TARGET_ARCH` and to reference the grub package in a generic manner
#### How to verify it
This has been tested on a ARM test platform as well as on Mellanox amd64 switches as well to ensure there was no impact.

Why I did it
Support to use symbol links in platform folder to reduce the image size.
The current solution is to copy each lazy installation targets (xxx.deb files) to each of the folders in the platform folder. The size will keep growing when more and more packages added in the platform folder. For cisco-8000 as an example, the size will be up to 2G, while most of them are duplicate packages in the platform folder.
How I did it
Create a new folder in platform/common, all the deb packages are copied to the folder, any other folders where use the packages are the symbol links to the common folder.
Why platform.tar?
We have implemented a patch for it, see #10775, but the problem is the the onie use really old unzip version, cannot support the symbol links.
The current solution is similar to the PR 10775, but make the platform folder into a tar package, which can be supported by onie. During the installation, the package.tar will be extracted to the original folder and removed.
If it is run during image install, it's not guaranteed that the
installation environment will have tune2fs available. Therefore, run it
during initramfs instead.

# Why I did it
Reduce the disk space taken up during bootup and runtime.
# How I did it
1. Remove python package cache from the base image and from the containers.
2. During bootup, if logs are to be stored in memory, then don't create the `var-log.ext4` file just to delete it later during bootup.
3. For the partition containing `/host`, don't reserve any blocks for just the root user. This just makes sure all disk space is available for all users, if needed during upgrades (for example).
* Remove pip2 and pip3 caches from some containers
Only containers which appeared to have a significant pip cache size are
included here.

#### Why I did it
The test plan described in the `How to verify it` section caused an issue when 3 images (instead of 2) were present when executing `show boot` or `sonic-installer list` commands:
```
root@sonic:/home/admin# show boot
Current: SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
Next: SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
Available:
SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
SONiC-OS-202012.201-a0376a6e5_Internal
SONiC-OS-202012.201-a0376a6e5_Internal_RPC
```
#### How I did it
Fixed the `sed` pattern to match the current image revision in the `install.sh` script.
#### How to verify it
Test plan:
1. Install the `imageA` by using ONIE
2. Install the `imageA-rpc` by using `sonic-installer`
3. Reboot the switch
4. Swap to the `imageA` - `sonic-installer set-default imageA`
5. Reboot the switch
6. Install the `imageB` by using `sonic-installer`
7. Check an installed images - `show boot`
8. Reboot the switch
9. Check an installed images - `show boot`
Why I did it
Provide onie image install verification
How I did it
Add devices folder based on platform_asic and check if current platform inside the list
How to verify it
In onie env, install a bin image which differs the running platform's ASIC. For example;
install sonic-broadcom.bin to mellanox ASIC platform
install sonic-vs.bin to broadcom ASIC platform
#### Why I did it
while sonic upgrade, Image will be extracted to tmpfs for installation so tmpfs size should be larger than image size. Image installation will fail if image size is larger than tmpfs size.
we are facing below error while installing debug image with size greater than tmpfs which is 1.5g in marvell armhf platform.

#### How I did it
compare downloaded image size with tmpfs size, if size less than image size update the tmpfs size according to image size.
#### How to verify it
Install an Image with size larger than tmpfs. we verified by installing debug image with size 1.9gb which is larger than tmpfs size 1.5gb.
This improvement reads current SONiC version directly from `/proc/cmdline`.
it supports `grub/aboot/uboot` bootloaders.
**Code snippet**:
```bash
cat /proc/cmdline | sed -n 's/^.*loop=\/*image-\(\S\+\)\/.*$/\1/p'
```
**Description**:
```
-n don't print lines
s substitute
^.* matches anything before the <image_version>
loop= matches <loop> kernel parameter
\/*image- matches <image_version> prefix
\(\S\+\) matches <image_version> group and assigns it to \1
\/.*$ matches anything after the <image_version>
\1 replace everything with <image_version>
p print it
```

Usually for a use case like networking - should not be configured to reach c6, the maximum used is c1e – due to the added latency getting in & out of states (bad for networking).
Following a recommendation by Intel, networking system should avoid getting in & out of states which introduce latency. The recommended state is c1e and no state change enabling.
In addition, c-state sole purpose is to save power and when inside a networking switch its really negligent being such a tiny consumer vs. the whole cluster.
