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 202012
202012 to 201911 downgrade
202012 -> 202012 reboot

Why I did it
The current lazy installer relies on a filename sort for both unpack and configuration steps. When systemd services are configured [started] by multiple packages the order is by filename not by the declared package dependencies. This can cause the start order of services to differ between first-boot and subsequent boots. Declared systemd service dependencies further exacerbate the issue (e.g. blocking the first-boot script).
The current installer leaves packages un-configured if the package dependency order does not match the filename order.
This also fixes a trivial bug in [Build]: Support to use symbol links for lazy installation targets to reduce the image size #10923 where externally downloaded dependencies are duplicated across lazy package device directories.
How I did it
Changed the staging and first-boot scripts to use apt-get:
dpkg -i /host/image-$SONIC_VERSION/platform/$platform/*.deb
becomes
apt-get -y install /host/image-$SONIC_VERSION/platform/$platform/*.deb
when dependencies are detected during image staging.
How to verify it
Apt-get critical rules
Add a Depends= to the control information of a package. Grep the syslog for rc.local between images and observe the configuration order of packages change.

Why I did it
This PR is to backport #11569 into 202012 branch.
This PR is to apply different DSCP_TO_TC_MAP to downlink and uplink ports on T1 in dualtor deployment.
For T1 downlink ports (To T0)
The DSCP_TO_TC_MAP is not changed. DSCP2 and DSCP6 are mapped to TC2 and TC6 respectively.
For T1 uplink ports (To T1)
A new DSCP_TO_TC_MAP|AZURE_UPLINK is defined and applied. DSCP2 and DSCP6 are mapped to TC1 to avoid mixing up lossy and lossless traffic from T2.
The extra lossy PG2 and PG6 added in PR #11157 is reverted as well because no traffic from T2 is mapped to PG2 or PG6 now.
How I did it
Define a new map DSCP_TO_TC_MAP|AZURE_UPLINK for 7260 T1.
How to verify it
Verified by test case in test_j2files.py.

Why I did it
Support to use symbol links in platform folder to reduce the image size.
The current solution is to copy each lazy installation targets (xxx.deb files) to each of the folders in the platform folder. The size will keep growing when more and more packages added in the platform folder. For cisco-8000 as an example, the size will be up to 2G, while most of them are duplicate packages in the platform folder.
How I did it
Create a new folder in platform/common, all the deb packages are copied to the folder, any other folders where use the packages are the symbol links to the common folder.
Why platform.tar?
We have implemented a patch for it, see #10775, but the problem is the the onie use really old unzip version, cannot support the symbol links.
The current solution is similar to the PR 10775, but make the platform folder into a tar package, which can be supported by onie. During the installation, the package.tar will be extracted to the original folder and removed.
- Why I did it
Configure different DSCP_TO_TC_MAP between uplink and downlink on T1 switch in dual ToR scenario
On T1 uplink, both DSCP 2/6 will be mapped to TC 1 for the purpose of avoiding such traffic occupying lossless buffers.
On T1 downlink, they will be mapped to TC 2/6 respectively. (unchanged)
- How I did it
For vendors who want to configure different DSCP_TO_TC_MAP between uplinks and downlinks on T1, they should
Define generate_dscp_to_tc_map macro in SKU's qos.json.j2 file
Define map AZURE for downlink and AZURE_UPLINK for uplink

Why I did it
Support Mellanox-SN4600C-C64 as T1 switch in dual-ToR scenario
1. Support additional queue and PG in buffer templates, including both traditional and dynamic model
2. Support mapping DSCP 2/6 to lossless traffic in the QoS template.
3. Add macros to generate additional lossless PG in the dynamic model
4. Adjust the order in which the generic/dedicated (with additional lossless queues) macros are checked and called to generate buffer tables in common template buffers_config.j2
- Buffer tables are rendered via using macros.
- Both generic and dedicated macros are defined on our platform. Currently, the generic one is called as long as it is defined, which causes the generic one always being called on our platform. To avoid it, the dedicated macrio is checked and called first and then the generic ones.
5. Support MAP_PFC_PRIORITY_TO_PRIORITY_GROUP on ports with additional lossless queues.
On Mellanox-SN4600C-C64, buffer configuration for t1 is calculated as:
40 * 100G downlink ports with 4 lossless PGs/queues, 1 lossy PG, and 3 lossy queues
16 * 100G uplink ports with 2 lossless PGs/queues, 1 lossy PG, and 5 lossy queues

This parallel execution consume CPU time and the duration of create_switch is longer than it should be.

Copy the timer file to the host bin image.

Why I did it
The image size is too large, when there are multiple lazy packages and multiple platforms. It is not necessary to keep the lazy installation packages in multiple copies.
For cisco image, the image size will reduce from 3.5G to 1.7G.
How I did it
Use symbol links to only keep one package for each of the lazy package.
Make a new folder fsroot/platform/common
Copy the lazy packages into the folder.
When using a package in each of the platform, such as x86_64-grub, x86_64-8800_rp-r0, x86_64-8201_on-r0, etc, only make a symbol link to the package in the common folder.
To optimize stop on warm boot, added kill for containers
Use service "kill" in the shutdown path for fast and warm reboot. For all other reload methods, service "stop" is used.
This is done to save time in shutdown path, and to overall improve the time spent in warm and fast reload.
How - Use service_mgmt.sh to trigger common logic to initiate kill (fast/warm) or stop (cold) for database.sh, radv.sh, snmp.sh, telemetry.sh, mgmt-framework.sh

The haveged service file in Debian Buster specifies that haveged should
start after systemd-random-seed starts (this was removed in Bullseye
after systemd changes caused a bootloop). This is a bit
counterproductive, since haveged is meant to be used in environments
with minimal sources of entropy, but one of the checks that
systemd-random-seed does is to verify that entropy is present.
Therefore, override the default .service file for haveged that moves
systemd-random-seed to the Before list, allowing it to start before
systemd-random-seed checks the system entropy level. (systemd doesn't
allow removing items from dependency/ordering entries such as After= and
Before=, so the entire .service file has to be overwritten.)
Note that despite this, haveged takes up to two seconds to actually
start working, so systemd-random-seed may still block for about two
seconds. However, this still allows other work (such as running
rc.local) to proceed a bit sooner.
