When a symbol needs to be placed to a different target than the one
designated for the object file, the object file is expanded, which
includes the following steps:
1. Creating a new placement for the symbol's input section with the
specified target.
2. Excluding the object placement from the orignal target.
3. Creating a new intermediate placement for the object for the original
target, where its input sections are expanded, excluding the input
section for the symbol.
Let's illustrate the object expansion process with the following example:
[sections:rodata]
entries:
.rodata+
.sdata2+
.srodata+
[scheme:default]
entries:
text -> flash_text
rodata -> flash_rodata
[scheme:noflash]
entries:
text -> iram0_text
rodata -> dram0_data
[mapping:soc_pm]
archive: libsoc.a
entries:
gpio_periph: GPIO_HOLD_MASK (noflash)
gpio_periph section headers:

1. Creating a new placement
.dram0.data :
{
*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*(.rodata.GPIO_HOLD_MASK .sdata2.GPIO_HOLD_MASK .srodata.GPIO_HOLD_MASK)
}
2. Excluding the object placement
.flash.rodata :
{
*(EXCLUDE_FILE(*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*) .rodata.* ...)
}
3. Creating a new intermediate placement
.flash.rodata :
{
*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*(.rodata.GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG)
}
Now, let's do the same, but also move GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG to noflash with an updated mapping.
[mapping:soc_pm]
archive: libsoc.a
entries:
gpio_periph: GPIO_HOLD_MASK (noflash)
gpio_periph: GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG (noflash)
1. Creating a new placement
.dram0.data :
{
*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*(.rodata.GPIO_HOLD_MASK .sdata2.GPIO_HOLD_MASK .srodata.GPIO_HOLD_MASK)
*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*(.rodata.GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG .sdata2.GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG
.srodata.GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG)
}
2. Excluding the object placement
.flash.rodata :
{
*(EXCLUDE_FILE(*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*) .rodata.* ...)
}
3. Creating a new intermediate placement
.flash.rodata :
{
*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*
}
The *libsoc.a:gpio_periph.* entity in step 3 no longer has input
sections, as there are no remaining .rodata input sections in the object
file. The linker behavior for this mapping is to include all object
input sections that have not yet been placed as described in
https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld.html#Input-Section-Basics
"If you use a file name without a list of sections, then all sections in
the input file will be included in the output section. This is not
commonly done, but it may by useful on occasion."
The map file for such mapping now contains following input sections
.flash.rodata 0x3c0a0120 0x19b34
*libsoc.a:gpio_periph.*()
.debug_info 0x3c0b95bf 0xd8 esp-idf/soc/libsoc.a(gpio_periph.c.obj)

This is incorrect, and such intermediate placement should not be
generated. This type of placement can be recognized because it is not
explicitly defined in the mapping and lacks input sections. We can
identify this in the significant function and prevent issuing commands
for such placement.

Currently, we are only suggesting that the header file is likely not
part of the component's INCLUDE_DIRS. However, the header file may be
missing also because of the configuration settings. For instance, the
component might be disabled in sdkconfig, or the feature that supplies
the header might not be enabled. Enhance the hint message to address
this scenario as well.

1. Fix wrong reason code in 'WIFI_EVENT_AP_STADISCONNECTED' event
2. cleanup in softAP for disconnecting connected station
3. Update examples to display reason while processing WIFI_EVENT_AP_STADISCONNECTED event
This feature is useful for 3rd-party software to run GDB with predefined
options that described in project_description.json file
allow to pass custom options to "idf.py gdb":
--gdb-commands: command line arguments for gdb. (without changes)
-ex: pass command to gdb.
-x: pass gdbinit file to gdb. Alias for old --gdbinit command
The ImportError or ModuleNotFoundError might be raised without
specifying a module name. In this not so common situation, re-raise the
exception to print all the information that could assist in identifying
the problem.

Tested under ESP32S3, running 50 tasks, each with a client, and a server
listening to one client, totalizing 150 sockets/files open, forwarding
data from PPP to Ethernet and vice versa.
Reasoning for 255 total sockets/files is VFS local_fd_t being a uint8_t.
Since FD_SETSIZE is defined at tool level, a CMakeLists user definition
is needed in cases above 64 (the default value).

Probably GCC-13.x and on-wards uses "-fmerge-constants" to merge
the const section (string/floating-point) across compilation units.
This makes it difficult to properly analyze the size output of rodata
section across libraries, the merged section (big in size) is showed
across a single library.
The config option added here can help to disable this compiler behavior
and help to provide better size analysis. It can be used during
development phase only as it increases rodata section size.
Currently, the `SORT` flag mandates the inclusion of at least the
`sort_by_first` argument in the grammar, despite the documentation[1]
indicating that `SORT` can be utilized without any arguments, defaulting
to sorting input sections by name. Fix this by modifying the grammar
to allow a default `SORT` and update a test accordingly.
