* Reduce SONiC image filesystem size
Add a build option to reduce the image size.
The image reduction process is affecting the builds in 2 ways:
- change some packages that are installed in the rootfs
- apply a rootfs reduction script
The script itself will perform a few steps:
- remove file duplication by leveraging hardlinks
- under /usr/share/sonic since the symlinks under the device folder are lost during the build.
- under /var/lib/docker since the files there will only be mounted ro
- remove some extra files (man, docs, licenses, ...)
- some image specific space reduction (only for aboot images currently)
The script can later be improved but for now it's reducing the rootfs
size by ~30%.
* restore fully featured vim package

SONiC changes:
1. Support Spectrum4 ASIC FW binary building.
2. Support new SDK sx-obj-desc lib building since new SAI need it.
3. Remove SX_SCEW debian package from Mellanox SDK build since we are no longer using it (we use libxml2 instead).
4. Update SAI, SDK, FW to version 4.6.1020/2012.1020/SAIBuild2305.25.0.3
SDK/FW bug fixes
1. In SPC-1 platforms: Fastboot mode is not operational for Split port with Force mode in 50G speed
SFP modules are kept in disabled state after set LPM (low power mode) on/off for at least 3 minutes.
2. When preforming fast boot from an old SDK version (currently installed) to a newer one (target version), and the system was initially loaded with a new SDK version (past version), and the system has not been wiped, under specific conditions, the fast boot would use the past version's data and may fail.
SDK/FW Features
1. On SN2700 all ports can support y cable by credo
SAI bug Fixes
1. When creating an ACL rule with SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_SRC_IP/SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_DST_IP enabled, and then disabling the field by setting enable=false, a match on L3_type=IPv4 will remain programmed for the rule Issue resolved after the fix
2. Allow the max scale of virtual routers to be configure for SPC-1, SPC-2, SPC-3 when fastboot enable
3. Remove default hash key of SRC_MAC, DST_MAC and ETH_TYPE

Why I did it
Sharing the storage of syncd with other proprietary application extensions allows them to communicate with syncd in differnt ways.
If one container wants to pass some information to syncd then shared storage can be used. However, today the shared storage isn't cleaned on restarts making it possible for syncd to read out-of-date information generated in the past.
NOTE: No plans to use it for standard SONIC dockers and we are working on removing the SDK dependency from PMON docker

This PR addresses the issue mentioned above by loading the acl config as a service on a storage backend device
How I did it
The new acl service is a oneshot service which will start after swss and does some retries to ensure that the SWITCH_CAPABILITY info is present before attempting to load the acl rules. The service is also bound to sonic targets which ensures that it gets restarted during minigraph reload and config reload

Verified that acl is loaded successfully on a storage backend device after a switch boot up
Verified that acl is loaded successfully on a storage backend ToR after minigraph load and config reload

Add Secure Boot support to SONiC OS.
Secure Boot (SB) is a verification mechanism for ensuring that code launched by a computer's UEFI firmware is trusted. It is designed to protect a system against malicious code being loaded and executed early in the boot process before the operating system has been loaded.
- How I did it
Added a signing process to sign the following components:
shim, grub, Linux kernel, and kernel modules when doing the build, and when feature is enabled in build time according to the HLD explanations (the feature is disabled by default).
- How to verify it
There are self-verifications of each boot component when building the image, in addition, there is an existing end-to-end test in sonic-mgmt repo that checks that the boot succeeds when loading a secure system (details below).
How to build a sonic image with secure boot feature: (more description in HLD)
Required to use the following build flags from rules/config:
SECURE_UPGRADE_MODE="dev"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_KEY="/path/to/private/key.pem"
SECURE_UPGRADE_DEV_SIGNING_CERT="/path/to/cert/key.pem"
After setting those flags should build the sonic-buildimage.
Before installing the image, should prepared the setup (switch device) with the follow:
check that the device support UEFI
stored pub keys in UEFI DB
enabled Secure Boot flag in UEFI
How to run a test that verify the Secure Boot flow:
The existing test "test_upgrade_path" under "sonic-mgmt/tests/upgrade_path/test_upgrade_path", is enough to validate proper boot
You need to specify the following arguments:
Base_image_list your_secure_image
Taget_image_list your_second_secure_image
Upgrade_type cold
And run the test, basically the test will install the base image given in the parameter and then upgrade to target image by doing cold reboot and validates all the services are up and working correctly
Fixes#13568
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:

- 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.

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.

Refactors the SONiC Installer to support greater flexibility in building for a given architecture and bootloader.
#### Why I did it
Currently the SONiC installer assumes that if a platform is ARM based that it uses the `uboot` bootloader and uses the `grub` bootloader otherwise. This is not a correct assumption to make as ARM is not strictly tied to uboot and x86 is not strictly tied to grub.
#### How I did it
To implement this I introduce the following changes:
* Remove the different arch folders from the `installer/` directory
* Merge the generic components of the ARM and x86 installer into `installer/installer.sh`
* Refactor x86 + grub specific functions into `installer/default_platform.conf`
* Modify installer to call `default_platform.conf` file and also call `platform/[platform]/patform.conf` file as well to override as needed
* Update references to the installer in the `build_image.sh` script
* Add `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` variable that is by default `uboot` for ARM devices and `grub` for x86 unless overridden in `platform/[platform]/rules.mk`
* Update bootloader logic in `build_debian.sh` to be based on `TARGET_BOOTLOADER` instead of `TARGET_ARCH` and to reference the grub package in a generic manner
#### How to verify it
This has been tested on a ARM test platform as well as on Mellanox amd64 switches as well to ensure there was no impact.
#### Description for the changelog
[arm] Refactor installer and build to allow arm builds targeted at grub platforms

- How I did it
By using mainly Linux package named pam-cracklib that support the enforcement of user passwords, the daemon named hostcfgd, will support add/modify password policies that enforce and strengthen the user passwords.
- How to verify it
Manually Verification-
1. Enable the feature, using the new sonic-cli command passw-hardening or manually add the password hardening table like shown in HLD by using redis-cli command
2. Change password policies manually like in step 1.
Notes:
password hardening CLI can be found in sonic-utilities repo-
P.R: Add support for Password Hardening sonic-utilities#2121
code config path: config/plugins/sonic-passwh_yang.py
code show path: show/plugins/sonic-passwh_yang.py
3. Create a new user (using adduser command) or modify an existing password by using passwd command in the terminal. And it will now request a strong password instead of default linux policies.
Automatic Verification - Unitest:

1. test default init values of the feature in PAM files
2. test all the types of classes policies supported by the feature in PAM files
3. test aging policy configuration in PAM files
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.

This reverts commit 15cf9b0d70.
Why I did it
Revert the PR #10775, for it has impact on onie installation.
It is caused by the symbol links not supported in some of the onie unzip.
We will enable after fixing the issue, see #10914
Why I did it
At present, there is no mechanism in an event driven model to know that the system is up with all the essential sonic services and also, all the docker apps are ready along with port ready status to start the network traffic. With the asynchronous architecture of SONiC, we will not be able to verify if the config has been applied all the way down to the HW. But we can get the closest up status of each app and arrive at the system readiness.
How I did it
A new python based system monitor tool is introduced under system-health framework to monitor all the essential system host services including docker wrapper services on an event based model and declare the system is ready. This framework gives provision for docker apps to notify its closest up status. CLIs are provided to fetch the current system status and also service running status and its app ready status along with failure reason if any.
How to verify it
"show system-health sysready-status" click CLI
Syslogs for system ready
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.
- Why I did it
Profiling the system state on init after fast-reboot during create_switch function execution, it is possible to see few python scripts running at the same time.
This parallel execution consume CPU time and the duration of create_switch is longer than it should be.
Following this finding, and the motivation to ensure these services will not interfere in the future, PMON is delayed in 90 seconds until the system finish the init flow after fastboot.
- How I did it
Add a timer for PMON service.
Exclude for MLNX platform the start trigger of PMON when SYNCD starts in case of fastboot.
Copy the timer file to the host bin image.
- How to verify it
Run fast-reboot on MLNX platform and observe faster create_switch execution time.
