variable that has regiser constraint "r" is not 64-bit.
General register operands are output using 64-bit "x" register names, regardless
of the size of the variable, unless the asm operand is prefixed with the "%w"
modifier. This surprises and confuses many users who aren't familiar with
aarch64 inline assembly rules.
With this commit, a note and fixit hint are printed which tell the users that
they need modifier "%w" in order to output a "w" register instead of an "x"
register.

Specifically the part where we removed a warning to be compatible with GCC, which has been widely regarded as a bad idea.
I'm not quite happy with how obtuse this warning is, especially in the fairly common case of a 32-bit integer literal, so I've got another patch awaiting review that adds a fixit to reduce confusion.

This adds Clang support for the ARM64 backend. There are definitely
still some rough edges, so please bring up any issues you see with
this patch.
As with the LLVM commit though, we think it'll be more useful for
merging with AArch64 from within the tree.
