Add new Nokia build target and establish an arm64 build:
Platform: arm64-nokia_ixs7215_52xb-r0
HwSKU: Nokia-7215-A1
ASIC: marvell
Port Config: 48x1G + 4x10G
How I did it
- Change make files for saiserver and syncd to use Bulleseye kernel
- Change Marvell SAI version to 1.11.0-1
- Add Prestera make files to build kernel, Flattened Device Tree blob and ramdisk for arm64 platforms
- Provide device and platform related files for new platform support (arm64-nokia_ixs7215_52xb-r0).
Some devices running SONiC have a small storage device (2G and 4G mainly)
The SONiC image growth over time has made it impossible to install
2 images on a single device.
Some mitigations have been implemented in the past for some devices but
there is a need to do more.
One such mitigation is `docker_inram` which creates a `tmpfs` and
extracts `dockerfs.tar.gz` in it.
This all happens in the SONiC initramfs and by ensuring the installation
process does not extract `dockerfs.tar.gz` on the flash but keep the file as is.
This mitigation does a tradeoff by using more RAM to reduce the disk footprint.
It however creates new issues for devices with 4G of system memory since
the extracted `dockerfs.tar.gz` nears the 1.6G.
Considering debian upgrades (with dual base images) and the continuous
stream of features this is only going to get bigger.
This change introduces an alternative to the `tmpfs` by allowing a system
to extract the `dockerfs.tar.gz` inside a `zram` device thus bringing
compression in play at the detriment of performance.
Introduce 2 new optional kernel parameters to be consumed by SONiC initramfs.
- `docker_inram_size` which represent the max physical size of the
`zram` or `tmpfs` volume (defaults to DOCKER_RAMFS_SIZE)
- `docker_inram_algo` which is the method to use to extract the
`dockerfs.tar.gz` (defaults to `tmpfs`)
other values are considered to be compression algorithm for `zram`
(e.g `zstd`, `zlo-rle`, `lz4`)
Refactored the logic to mount the docker fs in the SONiC initramfs under
the `union-mount` script.
Moved the code into a function to make it cleaner and separated the
inram volume creation and docker extraction.
On Arista platform with a flash smaller or equal to 4GB set
`docker_inram_algo` to `zstd` which produces the best compression ratio
at the detriment of a slower write performance and a similar read
performance to other `zram` compression algorithms.
Enable docker_inram for all systems with 4GB or less of flash.
This is mandatory to allow these systems to store 2 SONiC images.
This change also fixes the missing docker_inram attribute when
installing a new image from SONiC.
Because the SWI image can ship with additional kernel parameters within
such as `sonic_fips=` this lead to a conflict.
To prevent the conflict, the extra kernel parameters from the SWI are
now stored in the file `kernel-cmdline-append` which isn't used anywhere.
The S3IP (Simplified Switch System INtegration Program) sysfs specification defines a unified interface to access peripheral hardware on devices from different vendors, making it easier for SONiC to support different devices and platforms.
PDDF is a framework to simplify the driver and SONiC platform APIs development for new platforms. This effort is first step in combining the two frameworks.
This specific PR adds S3IP supported sysfs attribute in common FAN driver of PDDF.

Added Support where if asic configuration is not present in minigraph sonic-cfggen do not error out but instead process it gracefully.
Use Case: In Supervisor we have number of asic are define as max possible but in minigraph configuration of only valid/available asics only are present. Without this change load_minigraph fails.

Our k8s feature will pull new version container images for each upgrade, the container images inside sonic will be more and more, but for now we don’t have a way to clean up the old version container images, the disk may be filled up. Need to add cleaning up the old version container images logic.
