Thanks for your clarification.
I read the acpi code again. And found the namespace tree is created in
acpi_scan_init()
{
...
result = acpi_bus_scan(ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT, &ops, &acpi_root);
...
}
And then call the acpi_walk_namespace() to go through the whole
namespace. Am I right? And form those handles
I look at the SPEC and code again and find the namespace is loaded
by acpi_ns_load_namespace() right?
It will read DSDT/SSDT/PSDT by calling acpi_ns_load_table_by_type.
While I grep the whole source code, but not find the definition of this
function.
