In Xenomai’s native/task.h define as：
#define T_CPU(cpu) (1 << (24 + (cpu & 7))) /* Up to 8 cpus [0-7] */
#define T_CPUMASK 0xff000000
Which means Xenomai only can support 8 cores at most?

The Xenomai core has no internal limit on the number of cores beyond the
one Linux defines by CONFIG_NR_CPUS. However, the locking model we use
has a low overhead (code and complexity) with few CPUs used in real-time
mode, at the expense of being sub-optimal with a large number of CPUs.
The API you mention simply reflects that fact.
Again: this design affects the number of CPUs used in real-time mode
(i.e. primary Xenomai mode), not necessarily the overall number of CPUs
present in the system and only available to regular Linux processing.
