Don't limit iptables connection tracking to TCP protocol; allow connection tracking for all protocols. This allows services like NTP, which is UDP-based, to receive replies from an NTP server even if the port is blocked, as long as it is in reply to a request sent from the device itself.
Found another syncd timing issue related to clock going backwards.
To be safe disable the ntp long jump.

I found that with IPv4Network types, calling list(ip_ntwrk.hosts()) is reliable. However, when doing the same with an IPv6Network, I found that the conversion to a list can hang indefinitely. This appears to me to be a bug in the ipaddress.IPv6Network implementation. However, I could not find any other reports on the web.
This patch changes the behavior to call next() on the ip_ntwrk.hosts() generator instead, which returns the IP address of the first host.
Since the introduction of VRF, interface-related tables in ConfigDB will have multiple entries, one of which only contains the interface name and no IP prefix. Thus, when iterating over the keys in the tables, we need to ignore the entries which do not contain IP prefixes.
Modified caclmgrd behavior to enhance control plane security as follows:
Upon starting or receiving notification of ACL table/rule changes in Config DB:
1. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming packets from established TCP sessions or new TCP sessions which are related to established TCP sessions
2. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow bidirectional ICMPv4 ping and traceroute
3. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow bidirectional ICMPv6 ping and traceroute
4. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) NS/NA/RS/RA messages
5. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming IPv4 DHCP packets
6. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming IPv6 DHCP packets
7. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming BGP traffic
8. Add iptables/ip6tables commands for all ACL rules for recognized services (currently SSH, SNMP, NTP)
9. For all services which we did not find configured ACL rules, add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming packets for those services (allows the device to accept SSH connections before the device is configured)
10. Add iptables rules to drop all packets destined for loopback interface IP addresses
11. Add iptables rules to drop all packets destined for management interface IP addresses
12. Add iptables rules to drop all packets destined for point-to-point interface IP addresses
13. Add iptables rules to drop all packets destined for our VLAN interface gateway IP addresses
14. Add iptables/ip6tables commands to allow all incoming packets with TTL of 0 or 1 (This allows the device to respond to tools like tcptraceroute)
15. If we found control plane ACLs in the configuration and applied them, we lastly add iptables/ip6tables commands to drop all other incoming packets
- What I did
Add configuration to avoid ntpd from panic and exit if the drift between new time and current system time is large.
- How I did it
Added "tinker panic 0" in ntp.conf file.
- How to verify it
[this assumes that there is a valid NTP server IP in config_db/ntp.conf]
Change the current system time to a bad time with a large drift from time in ntp server; drift should be greater than 1000s.
Reboot the device.
Before the fix:
3. upon reboot, ntp-config service comes up fine, ntp service goes to active(exited) state without any error message. This is because the offset between new time (from ntp server) and the current system time is very large, ntpd goes to panic mode and exits. The system continues to show the bad time.
After the fix:
3. Upon reboot, ntp-config comes up fine, ntp services comes up from and stays in active (running) state. The system clock gets synced with the ntp server time.

* Updates per review comments
1) core_uploader service waits for syslog.service
2) core_uploader service enabled for restart on failure
3) Use mtime instead of file size + ample time to be robust.
* Avoid reloading already uploaded file, by marking the names with a prefix.
* Updated failing path.
1) If rc file is missing or required data missing, it periodically logs error in forever loop.
2) If upload fails, retry every hour with a error log, forever.
* Fix few bugs
* The binary update_json.py will come from sonic-utilities.
* Corefile uploader service
1) A service is added to watch /var/core and upload to Azure storage
2) The service is disabled on boot. One may enable explicitly.
3) The .rc file to be updated with acct credentials and http proxy to use.
4) If service is enabled with no credentials, it would sleep, with periodic log messages
5) For any update in .rc, the service has to be restarted to take effect.
* Remove rw permission for .rc file for group & others.
* Changes per review comments.
Re-ordered .rc file per JSON.dump order.
Added a script to enable partial update of .rc, which HWProxy would use to add acct key.
* Azure storage upload requires python module futures, hence added it to install list.
* Removed trailing spaces.
* A mistake in name corrected.
Copy the .rc updater script to /usr/bin.
* [process-reboot-cause]Address the issue: Incorrect reboot cause returned when warm reboot follows a hardware caused reboot
1. check whether /proc/cmdline indicates warm/fast reboot.
if yes the software reboot cause file will be treated as the reboot cause.

2. check whether platform api returns a reboot cause.
if yes it is treated as the reboot cause.
finish.
3. check whether /hosts/reboot-cause contains a cause.
if yes it is treated as the cause otherwise return unknown.

It would be safer to sed the file contents into a new file and switch

* Add watchdog-control service to disable watchdog during bootup
Disable only if it's applicable and the watchdog is enabled.
* Address the review comment
* Correct the watchdog start script name
* Change to call common watchdog api instead of platform specific
* Start watchdog control service after swss starts
* advance sonic-utility submodule
We noticed in tests/production that there is a low probability failure
where /etc/hosts could have some garbage characters before the entry for
local host name. The consequence is that all sudo command would be very
slow. In extreme cases it would prevent some services from starting
properly.
I suspect that the /etc/hosts file might be opened by some process causing
the issue. Editing contents with new file level and replace the whole file
should be safer.

- What I did
This fix removes the possibility of 'localhost' entry getting removed from /etc/hosts file by hostname-config service.
Without this change, whenever we change the hostname from 'localhost' to any other name on the config_db.json and reload the config, /etc/hosts file will only have the new hostname on it. But there are multiple sonic utilities (eg: swssconfig) which relies on the hard coded 'localhost' name and they tend to stop working.
- How I did it
Added a new check on hostname-config.sh script to avid blindly deleting the line containing the old hostname from /etc/hosts file. Now it will delete the old hostname only if its not localhost or when the hostname is not changing.
- How to verify it
Bring up SONiC on a device with hostname as localhost
Edit /etc/sonic/config_db.json to update the 'hostname' filed under DEVICE_METADATA from "hostname" : "localhost" --> "hostname" : "sonic"
run config reload -y to reflect the hostname change done on config_db.json file.
cat /etc/hosts and check whether both 127.0.0.1 localhost and 127.0.0.1 sonic entry are present on the file.
ping localhost should work fine.
- Description for the changelog
Make hostname-config service more robust in handling SONiC hostname change from localhost to anything else.
- after reloading minigraph, write latest version string in the DB.
- if old config_db.json file exists, use it and migrate to latest version.
- only reload minigraph when config_db.json doesn't exist and minigraph
exists.

- monit config broke by one monit upgrade
- abandon sed approach since it is suspestible to monit config changes
- use unixsocket instead of httpd due to a bug in 5.20.0
Present: Servers are listed in the same order as in redis-db
Fix: Save the sort o/p, hence use sorted list to write into pam.d's conf.
As well convert priority to integer for use by sort.
* [warm reboot] save configuration after warm reboot
After warm reboot, save a copy of in memory database to config_db.json,
upgrade procedure might have removed config_db.json to force new image
to reload minigraph. However, reload minigraph is skipped during warm
reboot. Missing config_db.json would cause device to fault in next
non-upgrading cold/fast reboot.
