no longer generate such sections, and then 2) remove all the section

When using --strict, CamelCase uses are described with CHECK: messages.
These CamelCase uses may be acceptable and should not generate these
messages when the variable is already defined in a file from the
include/... path.So, change checkpatch to read all the .h files in include/... and look
for preexisting CamelCase #defines, typedefs and function prototypes.Add these to the existing camelcase hash so that any uses in the patch or
file can be ignored.There are currently ~3500 files in include/. It takes about 10 cpu
seconds on my little netbook to grep for and preseed these existing uses.That's about 4x the time for a similar git grep.
This preseeding is only done once when using --strict and only when there
is a CamelCase use found.If a .git directory is found, it uses 'git ls-files include' If not, it
uses 'find $root/include -name "*.h"Signed-off-by: Joe Perches

When add a obj with dir to obj-y, like this
obj-y += dir/file.o
The $(obj)/dir not created, this patch fix this.
When try to add a file(which in a subdir) to my board's obj-y, the build
progress crashed.For example, I use at91rm9200ek board, and in kernel dir run:
mkdir objtree
make O=objtree at91rm9200_defconfig
mkdir arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
touch arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.cand edit arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.c to add some code.
then edit arch/arm/mach-at91/Makefile, change the following line:obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o
to:
obj-$(CONFIG_MACH_AT91RM9200EK) += board-rm9200ek.o dir/file.o
Now build it:
make O=objtree
Then the error appears:
...

CC arch/arm/mach-at91/board-rm9200ek.o
CC arch/arm/mach-at91/dir/file.o

LANG=en ls objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir
ls: cannot access objtree/arch/arm/mach-at91/dir: No such file or directoryIt's apparently that the target dir not created for file.o
Check kbuild source code. It seems that kbuild create dirs for that in
$(obj-dirs). But if the dir need not to create a built-in.o, It should
never in $(obj-dirs).So I make this patch to make sure It in $(obj-dirs)
