I suspect the constant in question is just one that says how much memory
is available
regardless of the type.  But I don't know precisely what you are
referring to.

Such as item work_space_size in this structure . Can you tell me where is the value set ? And where should the items in the structure be initialized in common ?

This is all part of the RTEMS Configuration Table.  All of the supplied
tests
and (I think) most user applications use confdefs.h to do this.  See
documentation
on Automatic Generation of System Configuration at:

http://www.oarcorp.com/rtems/doc-current/share/rtems/html/c_user/c_user00375.html

Basically this places applications specific limits on the maximum
resources
available to the application from RTEMS.  The defaults are very small in
the
interest of minimizing resource utilization and often 0.
