In case of warm/fast reboot, the hardware reboot cause will NOT be cleared because CPLD will not be touched in this flow. To not confuse the reboot cause determine logic, the leftover hardware reboot cause shall be skipped by the platform API, platform API will return the 'REBOOT_CAUSE_NON_HARDWARE' instead of the "hardware" reboot cause.
#### How I did it
Check the proc cmdline to see whether the last reboot is a warm or fast reboot, if yes skip checking the leftover hardware reboot cause.
#### How to verify it
a. Manual test:
> 1. Perform a power loss
> 2. Perform a warm/fast reboot
> 3. check the reboot cause should be "warm-reboot" or "fast-reboot" instead of "power loss"
b. Run reboot cause related regression test.

Update SDK/FW version - 4.5.3186/2010_3186 in order to have the following changes:
New functionality:
1. Added support for 6.5W (Class 8) in ports 49-50, 53-54, 57-58, and 61-62 on SN4600 system
Fix the following issues:
1. On very rare occasion (~1/100K), during I2C transaction with MMS1V50-WM and MMS1V90-WR modules on SN4700 system, the module may send unexpected stop which violate the I2C specification, possibly affecting the link up flow
2. When running 1GbE speeds on SN4600 system, the port remained active while peer side was closed
3. While toggling the cable with ‘sfputil lpmode on/off’, error msg like “ERR pmon#xcvrd: Receive PMPE error event on module 1: status {X} error type {y}” could be received
4. When toggling many ports of the Spectrum devices while raising 10GbE link up and link maintenance is enabled, the switch may get stuck and may need to be rebooted
5. When trying to reconfigure the Flex Parser header and Flex transition parameters after ISSU, the switch will returned an error even if the configuration was identical to that done before performing the ISSU
6. While moving from lossless to lossy mode while shared headroom was used, reduction of the shared headroom can only be done prior to pool type change and when shared headroom is not utilized
7. SLL configuration is missing in SDK dump
8. If TTL_CMD_COPY is used in Encap direction for a packet with no TTL, then the value passed in the ttl data structure will be used if non-zero (default 255 if zero)
9. PCI calibration changes from a static to a dynamic mechanism
10. Layer 4 port information is not initialized for BFD packet event. To address the issue, remote peer UDP port information was added in BFD packet event
11. SDK returned error when FEC mode is set on twisted pair, when FEC was set to None

- How I did it

Support zero buffer profiles
1. Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
2. Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
3. Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
- 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.

- Why I did it
To include latest fixes.
1. On CMIS modules, after low power configuration, the firmware waited for the module state to be ModuleReady instead of ModuleLowPower causing delays.
2. 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.
3. On rare occasions, when working with port rates of 1GbE or 10GbE and congestion occurs, packets may get stuck in the chip and may cause switch to hang.
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. Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times ( up to 70 seconds).
6. When connecting SN4600C to SN4600C after Fastboot in 50GbE No_FEC mode with a copper cable, the link up time may take ~20 seconds.

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

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.

Currently we leveraged the Supervisor to monitor the running status of critical processes in each container and it is more reliable and flexible than doing the monitoring by Monit. So we removed the functionality of monitoring the critical processes by Monit.
How I did it

I verified this on the device str-7260cx3-acs-1.
This is due to the fact that we use SONIC_OVERRIDE_BUILD_VARS internally
