- What I did
Configure sshd to close all SSH connetions after 15 minutes of inactivity.
- How I did it
Set ClientAliveInterval to 900 (900 seconds = 15 minutes) and ClientAliveCountMax to 0
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config using augtool in build_debian.sh. In the process, I refactored the existing augtool command for sshd_config so as to add comments and empty lines to file for readability.
- How to verify it
Log into device via management port. Wait 15 minutes without sending a keystroke -- you should be automatically logged out.
* Added debug symbols to many debug dockers.
* For debug images *only*:
1) Archive source files into debug image
2) Archived source is copied into /src
3) Created an empty dir /debug
4) Mount both /src as ro & /debug as rw into every docker
5) Login banner will give some details on /src & /debug
6) Devs can copy core file into /debug and view it from inside a container.
7) Dev may create all gdb logs and other data directly into /debug.
* Dropped redundant REDIS_TOOLS per review comments.
* Added debug symbols to frr package and hence FRR based BGP docker.
* 1) Moved dbg_files.sh to scripts/
2) Src directories to archive are now collected from individual Makefiles.
3) Added few more debug symbols
4) Added few more debug dockers.
Here after no more changes except per review comments.
To debug:
Install required version of debug image in Switch or VM.
Copy core file into /debug of host
Get into Docker
gdb /usr/bin/<daemon> -c /debug/<your core file>
set directory /src/... <-- inside gdb to get the source
For non-in-depth debugging:
Download corresponding debug Docker image (docker-...-dbg.gz) to your VM
Load the image
Run image with entrypoint as 'bash' with dir containing core mapped in.
Run gdb on the core.
* [submodule] update sonic-linux-kernel
* update linux kernel version
* Fix many version strings
* update mellanox components (built with new kernel)
* [mlnx] add make files for SDK WJH libs
* Update arista driver submodule (#8)
Make the debian packaging point to a newer kernel version.
- What I did
Currently when the system is under memory pressure, the OOM killer kicks in and kills a rogue process. Killing a rogue process can cause the device to be un-healthy leading to blackholing of the traffic.
To avoid this, configure the OOM to do a kernel panic which will cause the device to reboot and come back up healthy.
- How I did it
Added the sysctl variable panic_on_oom and set the value to 2.
Setting it to 2 will ensure OOM killer to always do a kernel panic.
- Add ebtables package, and install some filter rules:
1. ebtables -A FORWARD -d BGA -j DROP
2. ebtables -A FORWARD -p ARP -j DROP
Basically, we let the ARP packets in the VLAN being forwarded by the ASIC,
kernel gets a copy of these ARP packets and the forwarding from Kenerl gets
dropped. So there is always only one copy of ARP/response in the VLAN.

We are going to use initramfs hook for firmware upgrades
To install Arista hook:
- create folder /mnt/flash/<image dir>/platform/hooks/boot1/ from Aboot or
/host/<image dir>/platform/hooks/boot1/ from Sonic
- add executable script to created folder
* [build]: put stretch debian packages under target/debs/stretch/
* in stretch build phase, all debian packages built in that stage are placed under target/debs/stretch directory.
* for python-based debian packages, since they are really the same for jessie and stretch, they are placed under target/python-debs directory.

When rebooting without the platform_reboot plugin, systemd takes a few
minutes to properly shutdown. It's blocking on some docker cleanup
operation.
As described by https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/421 there
is a race between docker.service and containerd.service.
docker needs containerd to properly stop the containers.

* Fix potential blackholing/looping traffic and refresh ipv6 neighbor to avoid CPU hit
In case ipv6 global addresses were configured on L3 interfaces and used for peering,
and routing protocol was using link-local addresses on the same interfaces as prefered nexthops,
the link-local addresses could be aged out after a while due to no activities towards the link-local
addresses themselves. And when we receive new routes with the link-local nexthops, SONiC won't insert
them to the HW, and thus cause looping or blackholing traffic.
Global ipv6 addresses on L3 interfaces between switches are refreshed by BGP keeplive and other messages.
On server facing side, traffic may hit fowarding plane only, and no refresh for the ipv6 neighbor entries regularly.
This could age-out the linux kernel ipv6 neighbor entries, and HW neighbor table entries could be removed,
and thus traffic going to those neighbors would hit CPU, and cause traffic drop and temperary CPU high load.
Also, if link-local addresses were not learned, we may not get them at all later.
It is intended to fix all above issues.
Changes:
Add ndisc6 package in swss docker and use it for ipv6 ndp ping to update the neighbors' state on Vlan interfaces
Change the default ipv6 neighbor reachable timer to 30mins
Add periodical ipv6 multicast ping to ff02::11 to get/refresh link-local neighbor info.
* Fix review comments:
Add PORTCHANNEL_INTERFACE interface for ipv6 multicast ping
format issue
* Combine regular L3 interface and portchannel interface for looping
* Add ndisc6 package to vs docker
some platform drivers install blacklist.conf in /etc/modprobe.d.
Those configuration should be proprogated into initramfs to avoid
loading those blacklisted driver.
