Why I did it
In the bringup of tomahawk4/trident4, we realized that such chips need a larger size of /dev/shm in syncd container, so we added the option --shm-size to the docker create for syncd. The default value for shm-size is 64m; after this change, people can add SYNCD_SHM_SIZE=128m to platform_env.conf to change it to 128m.
How I did it
How to verify it
We verified that after this change, 1) on existing platforms without platform_env.conf, the size of /dev/shm in syncd container (df -h | grep shm) is still the default 64M; 2) after we add SYNCD_SHM_SIZE=128m to platform_env.conf, /dev/shm in syncd becomes 128M.
