This PR is to handle the issue 3527.
When device boots up, NTP throws a traceback as explained in the issue 3527.
- Traceback will be seen when MGMT_VRF_CONFIG does not exist in the database. Traceback is coming from the script “/etc/init.d/ntp”.
- Traceback does not affect the NTP functionality with/without management VRF. When MGMT_VRF_CONFIG does not exist or when MGMT_VRF_CONFIG’s mgmtVrfEnabled is configured to “false”, “NTP” will be started in the “default VRF” context, which is working fine even with this traceback.
- This traceback error will be hidden by redirecting the error to /dev/null without affecting functionality.
Add the same mechanism I developed for the SwSS service in #2845 to the syncd service. However, in order to cause the SwSS service to also exit and restart in this situation, I developed a docker-wait-any program which the SwSS service uses to wait for either the swss or syncd containers to exit.
* In the event of a kernel crash, we need to gather as much information
as possible to understand and identify the root cause of the crash.
Currently, the kernel does not provide much information, which make
kernel crash investigation difficult and time consuming.
Fortunately, there is a way in the kernel to provide more information
in the case of a kernel crash. kdump is a feature of the Linux kernel
that creates crash dumps in the event of a kernel crash. This PR
will add kermel kdump support.
An extension to the CLI utilities config and show is provided to
configure and manage kdump:
- enable / disable kdump functionality
- configure kdump (how many kernel crash logs can be saved, memory
allocated for capture kernel)
- view kernel crash logs
* Rename asn/deployment_id_asn_map.yaml to constants/constants.yaml
* Fix bgp templates
* Add community for loopback when bgpd is isolated
* Use correct community value
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.

While doing CLI changes for SNMP configuration, few changes are made in backend to handle the modified CLI.
** Changes**
- "community" for "snmp trap" is also made as "configurable". snmpd_conf.j2 is modified to handle the same.
- Changed the snmp.yml file generation from postStartAction to preStartAction in docker_image_ctl.j2 specific to SNMP docker, to ensure that the snmp.yml is generated before sonic-cfggen generates the snmpd.conf.
- Changed to make the code common for management vrf and default vrf. Users can configure snmp trap and snmp listening IP for both management vrf and default vrf.
- 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.

Issue Overview
shutdown flow
For any shutdown flow, which means all dockers are stopped in order, pmon docker stops after syncd docker has stopped, causing pmon docker fail to release sx_core resources and leaving sx_core in a bad state. The related logs are like the following:
INFO syncd.sh[23597]: modprobe: FATAL: Module sx_core is in use.
INFO syncd.sh[23597]: Unloading sx_core[FAILED]
INFO syncd.sh[23597]: rmmod: ERROR: Module sx_core is in use
config reload & service swss.restart
In the flows like "config reload" and "service swss restart", the failure cause further consequences:
sx_core initialization error with error message like "sx_core: create EMAD sdq 0 failed. err: -16"
syncd fails to execute the create switch api with error message "syncd_main: Runtime error: :- processEvent: failed to execute api: create, key: SAI_OBJECT_TYPE_SWITCH:oid:0x21000000000000, status: SAI_STATUS_FAILURE"
swss fails to call SAI API "SAI_SWITCH_ATTR_INIT_SWITCH", which causes orchagent to restart. This will introduce an extra 1 or 2 minutes for the system to be available, failing related test cases.
reboot, warm-reboot & fast-reboot
In the reboot flows including "reboot", "fast-reboot" and "warm-reboot" this failure doesn't have further negative effects since the system has already rebooted. In addition, "warm-reboot" requires the system to be shutdown as soon as possible to meet the GR time restriction of both BGP and LACP. "fast-reboot" also requires to meet the GR time restriction of BGP which is longer than LACP. In this sense, any unnecessary steps should be avoided. It's better to keep those flows untouched.
summary
To summarize, we have to come up with a way to ensure:
shutdown pmon docker ahead of syncd for "config reload" or "service swss restart" flow;
don't shutdown pmon docker ahead of syncd for "fast-reboot" or "warm-reboot" flow in order to save time.
for "reboot" flow, either order is acceptable.
Solution
To solve the issue, pmon shoud be stopped ahead of syncd stopped for all flows except for the warm-reboot.
- How I did it
To stop pmon ahead of syncd stopped. This is done in /usr/local/bin/syncd.sh::stop() and for all shutdown sequence.
Now pmon stops ahead of syncd so there must be a way in which pmon can start after syncd started. Another point that should be taken consideration is that pmon starting should be deferred so that services which have the logic of graceful restart in fast-reboot and warm-reboot have sufficient CPU cycles to meet their deadline.
This is done by add "syncd.service" as "After" to pmon.service and startin /usr/local/bin/syncd.sh::wait()
To start pmon automatically after syncd started.

* [SNMP] management VRF SNMP support
This commit adds SNMP support for Management VRF using l3mdev.
The patch included provides VRF support, there is no single
"listendevice" configuration, rather multiple agentaddress
config options can each have their own "interface" to bind to
using "ip%interface". The snmpd.conf file is accordingly
generated using the snmp.yml file and redis database info.
Adding below the comments of SNMP patch 1376
--------------------------------------------
Since the Linux kernel added support for Virtual Routing
and Forwarding (VRF) in version 4.3
(Note: these won't compile on non-linux platforms)
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt
Linux users could not use snmpd in its current form to
bind specific listening IP addresses to specific VRF
devices. A simplified description of a VRF inteface
is an interface that is a master (a container of sorts)
that collects a set of physicalinterfaces to form a
routing table.
This set of two patches (one for V5-7-patches and one
for V5-8-patches branches) is almost identical to patch
single "listendevice" configuration. Rather, multiple
agentAddress config options can each have their own
"interface" to bind to using the <ip>%<interface>
syntax.</interface></ip>

This commit adds NTP support for management VRF using L3mdev. Config vrf add
mgmt will enable management VRF, enslave the eth0 device to the master device
mgmt, stop ntp service in default, restart interfaces-configs and restart ntp
service in mgmt-vrf context. Requirement and design are covered in mgmt vrf
design document.

Introduce a new "sflow" container (if ENABLE_SFLOW is set). The new docker will include:
hsflowd : host-sflow based daemon is the sFlow agent
psample : Built from libpsample repository. Useful in debugging sampled packets/groups.
sflowtool : Locally dump sflow samples (e.g. with a in-unit collector)
In case of SONiC-VS, enable psample & act_sample kernel modules.
VS' syncd needs iproute2=4.20.0-2~bpo9+1 & libcap2-bin=1:2.25-1 to support tc-sample
tc-syncd is provided as a convenience tool for debugging (e.g. tc-syncd filter show ...)

this is the first step to moving different databases tables into different database instances
in this PR, only handle multiple database instances creation based on user configuration at /etc/sonic/database_config.json
we keep current method to create single database instance if no extra/new DATABASE configuration exist in database_config.json file.
if user try to configure more db instances at database_config.json , we create those new db instances along with the original db instance existing today.
The configuration is as below, later we can add more db related information if needed:
{
...
"DATABASE": {
"redis-db-01" : {
"port" : "6380",
"database": ["APPL_DB", "STATE_DB"]
},
"redis-db-02" : {
"port" : "6381",
"database":["ASIC_DB"]
},
}
...
}
The detail description is at design doc at Azure/SONiC#271
The main idea is : when database.sh started, we check the configuration and generate corresponding scripts.
rc.local service handle old_config copy when loading new images, there is no dependency between rc.local and database service today, for safety and make sure the copy operation are done before database try to read it, we make database service run after rc.local
Then database docker started, we check the configuration and generate corresponding scripts/.conf in database docker as well.
based on those conf, we create databases instances as required.
at last, we ping_pong check database are up and continue

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.
* [service dependent] describe non-warm-reboot dependency outside systemctl
When dependency was described with systemctl, it will kick in all the time,
including under warm reboot/restart scenarios. This is not what we always
want. For components that are capable of warm reboot/start, they need to
describe dependency in service files.
