This service (weekly) will let SSD firmware to do the garbage collection
after file-system deleted files. It could avoid slowness or
even READ-ONLY error due to SSD not being able to free the pages
even though the file system thinks there was a lot of space left.

Overall goal: Build debug images for every stretch docker.
An earlier PR (#2789) made the first cut, by transforming broadcom/orchagent to build target/docker-orhagent-dbg.gz.
Changes in this PR:
Made docker-orchagent build to be platform independent.
1.1) Created rules/docker_orchagent.mk
1.2) Removed platform//docker-orchagent-*.mk
1.3) Removed the corresponding entry from platform//rules.mk
Extended the debug docker image build to stretch based syncd dockers.
2.1) For now, only mellanox & barefoot are stretch based.
2.2) All the common variable definitions are put in one place platform/template/docker-syncd-base.mk
2.3) platform/[mellanox, bfn]/docker-syncd-[mlnx, bfn].mk are updated as detailed below.
2.3.1) Set platform code and include template base file
2.3.2) Add the dependencies & debug dependencies and any update over what base template offers.
Extended all stretch based non-platform dockers to build debug dockers too.
3.1) Affected are:
docker-database.mk,
docker-platform-monitor.mk,
docker-router-advertiser.mk,
docker-teamd.mk,
docker-telemetry.mk
Next: Build debug flavor of final images with regular dockers replaced with debug dockers where available.
* Updated Makefile infrastructure to build debug images.
As a sample, platform/broadcom/docker-orchagent-brcm.mk is updated to add a docker-orchagent-brcm-dbg.gz target.
Now "BLDENV=stretch make target/docker-orchagent-brcm-dbg.gz" will build the debug image.
This debug image can be used in any linux box to inspect core file. If your module's external dependency can be suitably mocked, you my even manually run it inside.
"docker run -it --entrypoint=/bin/bash e47a8fb8ed38"
You may map the core file path to this docker run.
* Dropped the regular binary using DBG_PACKAGES and a small name change to help readability.
* Tweaked the changes to retain the existing behavior w.r.t INSTALL_DEBUG_TOOLS=y.
When this change ('building debug docker image transparently') is extended to all dockers, this flag would become redundant. Yet, there can be some test based use cases that rely on this flag.
Until after all the dockers gets their debug images by default and we switch all use cases of this flag to use the newly built debug images, we need to maintain the existing behavior.
[devices] add new accton platform minipack.
Add support for new platform, minipack.
It has
CPU: Broadwell DE – D1527
MAC: Tomahawk3(BCM56980).
PHY:Broadcom BCM81724, 4 pcs, Gearbox for PIM-16Q
BMC:AST2520
8 hot-swappable Port-Interface-Modules, each of them has 16*100G QSFP.
- What I did
Add device and platform files for minipack.
- How I did it
Add as SONiC Porting Guide.
- How to verify it
decode-syseeprom
sensors
psuutil
sfputil
thermal monitor
bcmsh on port status
(port LEDs may not working)
dell_ich module fails to load sometimes due to the failure of pci_get_drvdata().
This function is responsible for fetching INTEL PCI related memory handle in kernel. This is implemented in lpc_ich kernel module.
Due to race in addition/deletion of kernel modules, sometimes lpc_ich loads after dell_ich.
Because of this behaviour dell_ich module fails to load.
Fixed by addding dependency between modules.
Removed i2c_mux_gpio module from blacklist entry as it is not the original root case of this issue.
- Include helix4 fix.
- Include support for TD2 56854.
- Add dummy support for SAI_PORT_ATTR_ADVERTISED_SPEED.

* Update arista drivers submodule
* Ignore the possible timestamp warning in tar extraction
* Add verbosity toggle to boot0
Console logging is slow because of the 9600 baud rate.
Some time can be saved by decreasing the console verbosity.
* Add hook mechanism in boot0.
Support additional features in boot0 via hooks.
Hooks are unpacked and executed at post-install or pre-exec time.
* Fix 7170 sensors.conf file
Fix critical temperature settings for MAX6658 sensors
* Fix the random swap of storage devices
For arista 7050 switches running with linux 4.9, it is likely the device
name of flash drive (/dev/sda) and usb (/dev/sdb) randomly swap in kernel
booting, depending on which one is ready first. It breaks the expectation
that flash will be mounted as root by setting root=/dev/sda1. This patch
will correct ROOT to flash device refering to the path under block_flash.
* Fix 7170 fancontrol
* Do not remove aquota.user file in boot0
This file is a filesystem protected file used by EOS.
It can be simply removed and will make the SONiC installation failed if
not skipped.
