- 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

Support to add SONiC OS Version in device info.
It will be used to display the version info in the SONiC command "show version". The version is used to do the FIPS certification. We do not do the FIPS certification on a specific release, but on the SONiC OS Version.

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.
Testing on T0 setup route/for test_static_route.py
The test set the STATIC_ROUTE entry in conifg db without ifname:
sonic-db-cli CONFIG_DB hmset 'STATIC_ROUTE|2.2.2.0/24' nexthop 192.168.0.18,192.168.0.25,192.168.0.23
"STATIC_ROUTE": {
"2.2.2.0/24": {
"nexthop": "192.168.0.18,192.168.0.25,192.168.0.23"
}
},
Validate that the arp_update gets the proper ARP_UPDATE_VARDS using arp_update_vars.j2 template from config db and does not crash:
{ "switch_type": "", "interface": "", "pc_interface" : "PortChannel101 PortChannel102 PortChannel103 PortChannel104 ", "vlan_sub_interface": "", "vlan" : "Vlan1000", "static_route_nexthops": "192.168.0.18 192.168.0.25 192.168.0.23 ", "static_route_ifnames": "" }
validate route/test_static_route.py testcase pass.

How I did it
How to verify it
Why I did it
SONiC currently does not identify 'EdgeZoneAggregator' neighbor. As a result, the buffer profile attached to those interfaces uses the default cable length which could cause ingress packet drops due to insufficient headroom. Hence, there is a need to update the buffer templates to identify such neighbors and assign the same cable length as used by the T1.
How I did it
Modified the buffer template to identify EdgeZoneAggregator as a neighbor device type and assign it the same cable length as a T1/leaf router.
How to verify it
Unit tests pass, and manually checked on a 7260 to see the changes take effect.

Why I did it
This PR addresses the issue mentioned above by loading the acl config as a service on a storage backend device
How I did it
The new acl service is a oneshot service which will start after swss and does some retries to ensure that the SWITCH_CAPABILITY info is present before attempting to load the acl rules. The service is also bound to sonic targets which ensures that it gets restarted during minigraph reload and config reload
How to verify it
Build an image with the following changes and did the following tests
Verified that acl is loaded successfully on a storage backend device after a switch boot up
Verified that acl is loaded successfully on a storage backend ToR after minigraph load and config reload
Verified that acl is not loaded if the device is not a storage backend ToR or the device does not have a DATAACL table

Upgrade from old image always requires squashfs mount to get the next image FW binary. This can be avoided if we put FW binary under platform directory which is easily accessible after installation:
admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
/host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls -al /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 66 Feb 8 17:57 /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa -> /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa
- Why I did it
202211 and above uses different squashfs compression type that 201911 kernel can not handle. Therefore, we avoid mounting squashfs altogether with this change.
- How I did it
Place FW binary under /host/image-/platform/mlnx/, soft links in /etc/mlnx are created to avoid breaking existing scripts/automation.
/etc/mlnx/fw-SPCX.mfa is a soft link always pointing to the FW that should be used in current image
mlnx-fw-upgrade.sh is updated to prefer /host/image-/platform/mlnx location and fallback to /etc/mlnx in squashfs in case new location does not exist. This is necessary to do image downgrade.
- How to verify it
Upgrade from 201911 to master
master to 201911 downgrade
master -> master reboot
ONIE -> master boot (First FW burn)

#### Why I did it
Following the PR https://github.com/sonic-net/sonic-swss-common/pull/739 increasing netlink buffer size in linux kernel
As error is seen in fdbsyncd with netlink reports "out of memory on reading a netlink socket" It is seen when kernel is sending 10k remote mac to fdbsyncd.
#### How I did it
Increase the buffer size of the netlink buffer from 3MB to 16MB
#### How to verify it
Verified with 10k remote mac, and restarting the fdbsyncd process. So that kernel send the bridge fdb dump to the fdbsyncd.
Verified that the netlink buffer error is not reported in the sys log.
