Fix#7968
Issue is detected on SONiC.20201231.11
In test_static_route.py::test_static_route_ecmp static routes are configured, but neighbors are not resolved after config reload even after 10 minutes.
It looks like the arp_update script is starting to ping when Vlan1000 is not fully configured.
When issue is reproduced, stuck ping6 process is observed in swss container :
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
root 180 0.1 0.0 6296 1272 pts/0 S 17:03 0:03 ping6 -I Vlan1000 -n -q -i 0 -c 1 -W 0 ff02::1
And when arp_update script successfully resolves neighbors, we observe sleep 300 instead of ping process
#### Why I did it
* `arp_update` fails to ping those neighbors over vlan sub interfaces.
#### How I did it
* modify `arp_update_vars.j2` to get vlan sub interfaces with ipv6 addresses assigned.
* modify `arp_update` to send ipv6 pings over those retrieved vlan sub interfaces.

Why I did it
In the configuration of rsyslog, duplicate messages will be suppressed and reported in the format of message repeated n times.
Due to this behavior, if a critical process in a container exited unexpectedly, the alerting message will be written into syslog once
and not be written into syslog anymore until the second critical process exited. This PR aims to differentiate these alerting messages such that they will not be suppressed by rsyslogd and can appear in the syslog periodically.
How I did it
This PR adds a counter into the alerting message and shows how many minutes a critical process was not running.
How to verify it
I verified and test this implementation on a physical DUT.
- What I did
All SWSS dependent services should stop before SWSS service to avoid future possible issues.
For example 'teamd' service will stop before to allow the driver unload netdev gracefully.
This is to stop all LAG's before restarting syncd service when running 'config reload' command.
- How I did it
Change the order of dependent services of SWSS.
- How to verify it
Run 'config reload' command.
Previously the operation failed when a large number of PortChannel configured on the system.

- 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.

Why I did it
Modular Chassis has control-cards, line-cards and fabric-cards along with other peripherals. Control-Card CHASSIS_STATE_DB will be the central DB to maintain any state information of cards that is accessible to control-card/
How I did it

**- Why I did it**
To support dynamic buffer calculation.
This PR also depends on the following PRs for sub modules
- [sonic-swss: [buffermgr/bufferorch] Support dynamic buffer calculation #1338](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss/pull/1338)
- [sonic-swss-common: Dynamic buffer calculation #361](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-swss-common/pull/361)
- [sonic-utilities: Support dynamic buffer calculation #973](https://github.com/Azure/sonic-utilities/pull/973)
**- How I did it**
1. Introduce field `buffer_model` in `DEVICE_METADATA|localhost` to represent which buffer model is running in the system currently:
- `dynamic` for the dynamic buffer calculation model
- `traditional` for the traditional model in which the `pg_profile_lookup.ini` is used
2. Add the tables required for the feature:
- ASIC_TABLE in platform/\<vendor\>/asic_table.j2
- 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:
- fetch the vendor name when creates the docker and pass it as a docker environment variable
- `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
**- Why I did it**
Align style with slightly modified PEP8 standards (extend maximum line length to 120 chars). This will also help in the transition to Python 3, where it is more strict about whitespace, plus it helps unify style among the SONiC codebase. Will tackle other directories in separate PRs.
**- How I did it**
Using `autopep8 --in-place --max-line-length 120` and some manual tweaks.
Added new flag value 'always_enabled' for the state and auto-restart field of feature table
init_cfg.json is updated to initialize state field of database/swss/syncd/teamd feature and auto-restart field of database feature
as always_enabled
Once the state/auto-restart value is initialized as "always_enabled" it is immutable and cannot be change via feature config commands. (config feature..) PR#Azure/sonic-utilities#1271
hostcfgd will not take any action if state field value is 'always_enabled'
Since we have always_enabled field for auto-restart updated supervisor-proc-exit-listener
not to have special check for database and always rely on value from Feature table.
**- Why I did it**
We were building a custom version of Supervisor because I had added patches to prevent hangs and crashes if the system clock ever rolled backward. Those changes were merged into the upstream Supervisor repo as of version 3.4.0 (http://supervisord.org/changes.html#id9), therefore, we should be able to simply install the vanilla package via pip. This will also allow us to easily move to Python 3, as Python 3 support was added in version 4.0.0.
**- How I did it**
- Remove Makefiles and patches for building supervisor package from source
- Install Python 3 supervisor package version 4.2.1 in Buster base container
- Also install Python 3 version of supervisord-dependent-startup in Buster base container
- Debian package installed binary in `/usr/bin/`, but pip package installs in `/usr/local/bin/`, so rather than update all absolute paths, I changed all references to simply call `supervisord` and let the system PATH find the executable to prevent future need for changes just in case we ever need to switch back to build a Debian package, then we won't need to modify these again.
- Install Python 2 supervisor package >= 3.4.0 in Stretch and Jessie base containers
Summary: Move teamd functions to a new service script
Motivation: To segregate teamd functions in one common place. fast-reboot script calls teamd functions that should ideally be replaced by a simple call to a service script.
Changes: New teamd service script and path modification from /usr/bin/teamd.sh to /usr/local/bin/teamd.sh
fast-reboot script (in sonic-utilities) modification (to use new teamd.sh to stop teamd) should follow soon after this change.
Verification: VS image tests.

> The LAG reference count error messages seen for a while till swss docker stops.
> Dockers back up.
2. Enable WR mode for teamd. Stop teamd docker alone
> swss, syncd dockers not removed.
> The LAG reference count error messages not seen
> Repeated stop teamd docker test - same result, no effect on swss/syncd.
3. Stop swss docker.
> swss, teamd, syncd goes off - dockers comes back correctly, interfaces up
4. Enable WR mode for swss . Stop swss docker
> swss goes off not affecting syncd/teamd dockers.
5. Config reload
> no reference counter error seen, dockers comes back correctly, with interfaces up
6. Warm reboot, observations below
> swss docker goes off first
> teamd + syncd goes off to the end of WR process.
> dockers comes back up fine.
> ping traffic between VM's was NOT HIT
7. Fast reboot, observations below
> teamd goes off first ( **confirmed swss don't exit here** )
> swss goes off next
> syncd goes away at the end of the FR process
> dockers comes back up fine.
> there is a traffic HIT as per fast-reboot

**- Why I did it**
Initially, the critical_processes file contains either the name of critical process or the name of group.
For example, the critical_processes file in the dhcp_relay container contains a single group name
`isc-dhcp-relay`. When testing the autorestart feature of each container, we need get all the critical
processes and test whether a container can be restarted correctly if one of its critical processes is
killed. However, it will be difficult to differentiate whether the names in the critical_processes file are
the critical processes or group names. At the same time, changing the syntax in this file will separate the individual process from the groups and also makes it clear to the user.
Right now the critical_processes file contains two different kind of entries. One is "program:xxx" which indicates a critical process. Another is "group:xxx" which indicates a group of critical processes
managed by supervisord using the name "xxx". At the same time, I also updated the logic to
parse the file critical_processes in supervisor-proc-event-listener script.
**- How to verify it**
We can first enable the autorestart feature of a specified container for example `dhcp_relay` by running the comman `sudo config container feature autorestart dhcp_relay enabled` on DUT. Then we can select a critical process from the command `docker top dhcp_relay` and use the command `sudo kill -SIGKILL <pid>` to kill that critical process. Final step is to check whether the container is restarted correctly or not.
**- Why I did it**
When I tested auto-restart feature of swss container by manually killing one of critical processes in it, swss will be stopped. Then syncd container as the peer container should also be
stopped as expected. However, I found sometimes syncd container can be stopped, sometimes
it can not be stopped. The reason why syncd container can not be stopped is the process
(/usr/local/bin/syncd.sh stop) to execute the stop() function will be stuck between the lines 164 –167. Systemd will wait for 90 seconds and then kill this process.
164 # wait until syncd quit gracefully
165 while docker top syncd$DEV | grep -q /usr/bin/syncd; do
166 sleep 0.1
167 done
The first thing I did is to profile how long this while loop will spin if syncd container can be
normally stopped after swss container is stopped. The result is 5 seconds or 6 seconds. If syncd
container can be normally stopped, two messages will be written into syslog:
str-a7050-acs-3 NOTICE syncd#dsserve: child /usr/bin/syncd exited status: 134
str-a7050-acs-3 INFO syncd#supervisord: syncd [5] child /usr/bin/syncd exited status: 134
The second thing I did was to add a timer in the condition of while loop to ensure this while loop will be forced to exit after 20 seconds:
After that, the testing result is that syncd container can be normally stopped if swss is stopped
first. One more thing I want to mention is that if syncd container is stopped during 5 seconds or 6 seconds, then the two log messages can be still seen in syslog. However, if the execution
time of while loop is longer than 20 seconds and is forced to exit, although syncd container can be stopped, I did not see these two messages in syslog. Further, although I observed the auto-restart feature of swss container can work correctly right now, I can not make sure the issue which syncd container can not stopped will occur in future.
**- How I did it**
I added a timer around the while loop in stop() function. This while loop will exit after spinning
20 seconds.

This command fails with error " redis.exceptions.ResponseError: value is not an integer or out of range" .
Root cause:
When sonic-netns-exec executes the above function, argument passed to sonic-db-cli is NOT executed as a single script.

['EVAL', 'local', 'tables', '=', "{'PORT_TABLE*'}", 'for', 'i', '=', '1,', 'table.getn(tables)', 'do', 'local', 'matches', '=', "redis.call('KEYS',", 'tables[i])', 'for', 'j,name', 'in', 'ipairs(matches)', 'do', "redis.call('DEL',", 'name)', 'end', 'end', '0']
- How I did it
