Thanks a lot for your help!
This is the old legacy code. After replaced original implementation with
buildin function __atomic_compare_exchange_n, now everything is fine!
static inline bool MyAtomic_CAS64(volatile unsigned long long* tgt, 
                                    unsigned long long* old,
                                    unsigned long long rep)
{
        return __atomic_compare_exchange_n(tgt, old, rep, 
                false, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST, __ATOMIC_SEQ_CST);
}

Thanks again!
