You can use totalram_pages(), like e.g.
drivers/media/platform/mtk-vpu/mtk_vpu.c:

$ git grep -np totalram_pages drivers/media/
drivers/media/platform/mtk-vpu/mtk_vpu.c=779=static int mtk_vpu_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
drivers/media/platform/mtk-vpu/mtk_vpu.c:861:   vpu->enable_4GB = !!(totalram_pages() > (SZ_2G >> PAGE_SHIFT));
