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.
