Linkmgrd monitors link status, mux status, and link state. Has
the link becomes unhealthy, linkmgrd will trigger mux switchover
on a standby ToR ensuring uninterrupted service to servers/blades.
This PR is initial implementation of linkmgrd.
Also, docker-mux container hold packages related to maintaining and managing
mux cable. It currently runs linkmgrd binary that monitor and switches
the mux if needed.
This PR also introduces mux-container and starts linkmgrd as startup when

Fix the check used to wait for interfaces to come up. The group name in
the supervisor config files has changed from isc-dhcp-relay to
dhcp-relay.
Also, in the wait script, wait 10 additional seconds after the vlans,
port channels, and any interfaces are up. This is because dhcrelay
listens on all interfaces (in addition to port channels and vlans), and
to ensure that it stays in a clean state during runtime, wait some extra
time to make sure that those interfaces are created as well.

Support to build armhf/arm64 platforms on arm based system without qemu simulator.
When building the armhf/arm64 on arm based system, it is not necessary to use qemu simulator.
How I did it
Build armhf on armhf system, or build arm64 on arm64 system, by default, qemu simulator will not be used.
When building armhf on arm64, and you have enabled armhf docker, then it will build images without simulator automatically. It is based how the docker service is run.
Docker base image change:
For amd64, change from debian:to amd64/debian:
For arm64, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:arm64- to arm64v8/debian:
For armhf, change from multiarch/debian-debootstrap:armhf- to arm32v7/debian:
See https://github.com/docker-library/official-images#architectures-other-than-amd64
The mapping relations:
arm32v6 --- armel
arm32v7 --- armhf
arm64v8 --- arm64
Docker image armhf deprecated info: https://hub.docker.com/r/armhf/debian, using arm32v7 instead.
Enable Autorestart of the daemons in PMON for unexpected exit
Remove the daemon list from the critical_process which prevent the PMON
from restarting when the individual daemon crashes.
#### Why I did it
The process of config generation (sonic-cfggen) fails, but the services continue to run with invalid config
#### How I did it
* add exit with error on errors in start.sh script (because supervisord relies on start.sh return code).
* fix jinja template. Jinja use common python expressions under the hood and `has_key` method was removed from dict in py3, so use check by `in` operator as it is supported by both py2 and py3.
#### How to verify it
* compile sonic with enabled iccp.
* add mclag config to CONFIG_DB.
```
'MC_LAG|1' => {
"local_ip": "10.0.0.2",
"peer_ip": "10.0.0.3",
"peer_link": "Ethernet8",
"mclag_interface": "Ethernet12"
}
* unmaks, enable and start swss and iccpd services in sonic.
* log in into the iccpd container and check the config file `/etc/iccpd/iccpd.conf`
* expected config:
```
mclag_id:1
local_ip:10.0.0.2
peer_ip:10.0.0.3
peer_link:Ethernet8
mclag_interface:Ethernet12
system_mac:YOUR_SYSTEM_MAC
#### Description for the changelog

Why I did it
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 removed the script process_checker and corresponding Monit configuration entries of critical processes.
How to verify it
I verified this on the device str-7260cx3-acs-1.
#### Why I did it
To avoid the following error
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/flush_unused_database", line 10, in <module>

```
`communicate` method returns the strings if streams were opened in text mode; otherwise, bytes.
In our case text arg in Popen is not true and that means that `communicate` return the bytes
#### How I did it
Set `text=True` to get strings instead of bytes
#### How to verify it

Why I did it
ndppd by default reads /proc/net/ipv6_route ever 30 seconds. Since T1s advertise so many routes to ToRs, this file is extremely large, and reading it causes ndppd's CPU usage to spike every 30 seconds
How I did it
Increase the delay for reading this file to the maximum possible value (max integer value), which will result in CPU spikes every ~24 days instead of every 30 seconds
How to verify it
Start ndppd with the new config file, confirm that no CPU spikes are seen except at startup

This PR aims to monitor the memory usage of streaming telemetry container and restart streaming telemetry container if memory usage is larger than the pre-defined threshold.
How I did it
I borrowed the system tool Monit to run a script memory_checker which will periodically check the memory usage of streaming telemetry container. If the memory usage of telemetry container is larger than the pre-defined threshold for 10 times during 20 cycles, then an alerting message will be written into syslog and at the same time Monit will run the script restart_service to restart the streaming telemetry container.
How to verify it

1. Made the command next-hop-self force only applicable on back-end asic bgp. This is done so that BGPL iBGP session running on backend can send e-BGP learn nexthop. Back end asic FRR is able to recursively resolve the eBGP nexthop in its routing table since it knows about all the connected routes advertise from front end asic.
2. Made all front-end asic bgp use global loopback ip (Loopback0) as router id and back end asic bgp use Loopbacl4096 as ruter-id and originator id for Route-Reflector. This is done so that routes learnt by external peer do not see Loopback4096 as router id in show ip bgp <route-prerfix> output.
3. To handle above change need to pass Loopback4096 from BGP manager for jinja2 template generation. This was missing and this change/fix is needed for this also https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/blob/master/dockers/docker-fpm-frr/frr/bgpd/templates/dynamic/instance.conf.j2#L27

The default bgp connect retry timer is 120 seconds. A reconnection will happen 120 seconds if the initial connection fails. This PR aims to allow a more frequent retry.
Why I did it
It was observed that on a multi-asic DUT bootup, the BGP internal sessions between ASIC's was taking more time to get ESTABLISHED than external BGP sessions. The internal sessions was coming up almost exactly 120 secs later.
In multi-asic platform the bgp dockers ( which is per ASIC ) on switch start are bring brought up around the same time and they try to make the bgp sessions with neighbors (in peer ASIC's) which may be not be completely up. This results in BGP connect fail and the retry happens after 120sec which is the default Connect Retry Timer
How I did it
Add the command to set the bgp neighboring session retry timer to 10sec for internal bgp neighbors.

adding noTLS mode for debugging purpose
Removing config-set for port 8080. It fails to start telemetry if docker restarts in case on noTLS mode because it expects log_level config to be present as well.
- Why I did it
Initially, we used Monit to monitor critical processes in each container. If one of critical processes was not running
or crashed due to some reasons, then Monit will write an alerting message into syslog periodically. If we add a new process
in a container, the corresponding Monti configuration file will also need to update. It is a little hard for maintenance.
Currently we employed event listener of Supervisod to do this monitoring. Since processes in each container are managed by
Supervisord, we can only focus on the logic of monitoring.
- How I did it
We borrowed the event listener of Supervisord to monitor critical processes in containers. The event listener will take
following steps if it was notified one of critical processes exited unexpectedly:
The event listener will first check whether the auto-restart mechanism was enabled for this container or not. If auto-restart mechanism was enabled, event listener will kill the Supervisord process, which should cause the container to exit and subsequently get restarted.
If auto-restart mechanism was not enabled for this contianer, the event listener will enter a loop which will first sleep 1 minute and then check whether the process is running. If yes, the event listener exits. If no, an alerting message will be written into syslog.
- How to verify it
First, we need checked whether the auto-restart mechanism of a container was enabled or not by running the command show feature status. If enabled, one critical process should be selected and killed manually, then we need check whether the container will be restarted or not.
Second, we can disable the auto-restart mechanism if it was enabled at step 1 by running the commnad sudo config feature autorestart <container_name> disabled. Then one critical process should be selected and killed. After that, we will see the alerting message which will appear in the syslog every 1 minute.

- when frr_mgmg_framework_config is set, frrcfgd starts in bgp container
- when user changed the BGP or other related table entries in config DB, frrcfgd will run corresponding VTYSH commands to program on FRR.
- add jinja template to generate FRR config file to be used by FRR daemons while bgp container restarted

There is a race condition between zebra server accepts connections and bgpd tries to connect. Bgpd has a chance to try to connect before zebra is ready. In this scenario, bgpd will try again after 10 seconds and operate as normal within these 10 seconds. As a consequence, whatever bgpd tries to sent to zebra will be missing in the 10 seconds. To avoid such a scenario, bgpd should start after zebra is ready to accept connections.

Earlier today we found a bug in the SONiC TSA implementation.
TSC shows incorrect output (see below) in case we have a route-map which contains TSA route-map as a prefix.
```
admin@str-s6100-acs-1:~$ TSC
Traffic Shift Check:
System Mode: Not consistent
```
The reason is that TSC implementation has too loose regexps in TSA utilities, which match wrong route-map entries:
For example, current TSC matches following
```
route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V4 permit 200
route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V6 permit 200
```
But it should match only
```
route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V4 permit 20
route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V4 deny 30
route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V6 permit 20
route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V6 deny 30
```
**- How I did it**
I fixed it by using egrep with `^` and `$` regexp markers which match begin and end of the line.
**- How to verify it**
1. Add follwing entry to FRR config:
```
str-s6100-acs-1#
str-s6100-acs-1# conf t
str-s6100-acs-1(config)# route-map TO_BGP_PEER_V4 permit 200
str-s6100-acs-1(config-route-map)# end

- docker-platform-monitor
- docker-sonic-mgmt-framework
- docker-sonic-vs
- Pin pip2 version <21 where it is still temporarily needed, as pip version 21 will drop support for Python 2
- Also preform some other cleanup, ensuring that pip3, setuptools and wheel packages are installed in docker-base-buster, and then removing any attempts to re-install them in derived containers
* First cut image update for kubernetes support.
With this,
1) dockers dhcp_relay, lldp, pmon, radv, snmp, telemetry are enabled
for kube management
init_cfg.json configure set_owner as kube for these
2) Each docker's start.sh updated to call container_startup.py to register going up
As part of this call, it registers the current owner as local/kube and its version
The images are built with its version ingrained into image during build
3) Update all docker's bash script to call 'container start/stop/wait' instead of 'docker start/stop/wait'.
For all locally managed containers, it calls docker commands, hence no change for locally managed.
4) Introduced a new ctrmgrd service, that helps with transition between owners as kube & local and carry over any labels update from STATE-DB to API server
5) hostcfgd updated to handle owner change
6) Reboot scripts are updatd to tag kube running images as local, so upon reboot they run the same image.
7) Added kube_commands.py to handle all updates with Kubernetes API serrver -- dedicated for k8s interaction only.

- PERIPHERAL_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/peripheral_table.j2
- PORT_PERIPHERAL_TABLE on a per-platform basis in device/\<vendor\>/\<platform\>/port_peripheral_config.j2 for each platform with gearbox installed.
- DEFAULT_LOSSLESS_BUFFER_PARAMETER and LOSSLESS_TRAFFIC_PATTERN in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
- Add lossless PGs (3-4) for each port in files/build_templates/buffers_config.j2
3. Copy the newly introduced j2 files into the image and rendering them when the system starts
4. Update the CLI options for buffermgrd so that it can start with dynamic mode
5. Fetches the ASIC vendor name in orchagent:

- `buffermgrd` can use this passed-in variable
6. Clear buffer related tables from STATE_DB when swss docker starts
7. Update the src/sonic-config-engine/tests/sample_output/buffers-dell6100.json according to the buffer_config.j2
8. Remove buffer pool sizes for ingress pools and egress_lossy_pool
Update the buffer settings for dynamic buffer calculation
* restoring each database with all data before warmboot and then flush unused data in each instance, following the multiDB warmboot design at https://github.com/Azure/SONiC/blob/master/doc/database/multi_database_instances.md
* restore needs to be done in database docker since we need to know the database_config.json in new version
* copy all data rdb file into each instance restoration location andthen flush unused database
* other logic is the same as before
* backing up database part is in another PR at sonic-utilities https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/pull/1205, they depend on each other
