- 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**
On the Mellanox platform, reboot cause is fetched from some certain sysfs which is created by the hw-management service. So determine-reboot-cause service shall start after hw-management, otherwise it could fail due to the related sysfs is not available yet.
**- How I did it**
Add a patch to the hw-management service to make sure determine-reboot-cause service should start after 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**
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

Why/How I did:
Make sure first error syslog is triggered based on FAULT TOLERANCE condition.
Added support of repeat clause with alert action. This is used as trigger
for generation of periodic syslog error messages if error is persistent
Updated the monit conf files with repeat every x cycles for the alert action
When detecting a new SFP insertion, read its SFP type and DOM capability from EEPROM again.
SFP object will be initialized to a certain type even if no SFP present. A case could be:
1. A SFP object is initialized to QSFP type by default when there is no SFP present
2. User insert a SFP with an adapter to this QSFP port
3. The SFP object fail to read EEPROM because it still treats itself as QSFP.
This PR fixes this issue.
Now we are reading base mac, product name from eeprom data, and the data read from eeprom contains multiple "\0" characters at the end, need trim them to make the string clean and display correct.
The `get_serial_number()` method in the ChassisBase and ModuleBase classes was redundant, as the `get_serial()` method is inherited from the DeviceBase class. This method was removed from the base classes in sonic-platform-common and the submodule was updated in https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5625.
This PR aligns the existing vendor platform API implementations to remove the `get_serial_number()` methods and ensure the `get_serial()` methods are implemented, if they weren't previously.
Note that this PR does not modify the Dell platform API implementations, as this will be handled as part of https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/pull/5609
Example of syslog message from Mellanox SAI:
"Oct 7 15:39:11.482315 arc-switch1025 INFO syncd#supervisord: syncd Oct 07 15:39:11 NOTICE SAI_BUFFER: mlnx_sai_buffer.c[3893]- mlnx_clear_buffer_pool_stats: Clear pool stats pool id:1"
There is a log INFO from supervisord which actually printed NOTICE and
date again. This confusion happens becuase if SAI is not built to log
to syslog it will log everything to stdout with format "[date] [level]
[message]" so supervisord sends it to syslog with level INFO.
New logs look like:
"Oct 7 15:40:21.488055 arc-switch1025 NOTICE syncd#SDK [SAI_BUFFER]: mlnx_sai_buffer.c[3893]- mlnx_clear_buffer_pool_stats: Clear pool stats pool id:17"

**- Why I did it**
- Platform API implementation using sonic-cfggen to get platform name and SKU name, which will fail when the database is not available.
- Chassis name is not correctly assigned, it shall be assigned with EEPROM TLV "Product Name", instead of SKU name
- Chassis model is not implemented, it shall be assigned with EEPROM TLV "Part Number"
**- How I did it**
1. Chassis
> - Get platform name from /host/machine.conf
> - Remove get SKU name with sonic-cfggen
> - Get Chassis name and model from EEPROM TLV "Product Name" and "Part Number"
> - Add function to return model
2. EEPROM
> - Add function to return product name and part number
3. Platform
> - Init EEPROM on the host side, so also can get the Chassis name model from EEPROM on the host side.

We are moving toward building all Python packages for SONiC as wheel packages rather than Debian packages. This will also allow us to more easily transition to Python 3.
Python files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities" Pyhton wheel. Data files are now packaged in "sonic-utilities-data" Debian package.
**- How I did it**
- Build and install sonic-utilities as a Python package
- Remove explicit installation of wheel dependencies, as these will now get installed implicitly by pip when installing sonic-utilities as a wheel
- Build and install new sonic-utilities-data package to install data files required by sonic-utilities applications
- Update all references to sonic-utilities scripts/entrypoints to either reference the new /usr/local/bin/ location or remove absolute path entirely where applicable

Refactor SFP reset, low power get/set API, and plugins with new SDK SX APIs. Previously they were calling SDK SXD APIs which have glibc dependency because of shared memory usage.
Remove implementation "set_power_override", "tx_disable_channel", "tx_disable" which using SXD APIs, once related SDK SX API available, will add them back based on new SDK SX APIs.
When stopping the swss, pmon or bgp containers, log messages like the following can be seen:
```

```
This is due to the number of programs in the container managed by supervisor, all generating events at the same time. The default event queue buffer size in supervisor is 10. This patch increases that value in all containers in order to eliminate these errors. As more programs are added to the containers, we may need to further adjust these values. I increased all buffer sizes to 25 except for containers with more programs or templated supervisor.conf files which allow for a variable number of programs. In these cases I increased the buffer size to 50. One final exception is the swss container, where the buffer fills up to ~50, so I increased this buffer to 100.
Resolves https://github.com/Azure/sonic-buildimage/issues/5241
As part of migrating all Python-based package installers to wheel format rather than Debian packages. Also to allow for easily building a Python 3 version of the package in the near future.
