General support for unwind info code generation was added back then, and 
was mostly complete around LLVM 8.

But support for generating unwind info in assembly (both inline and 
external) wasn't added back then; that was added recently in the master 
branch though. See e.g. 
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/5b86d130e2baed7221b09087c506f5974fe65f22#diff-2aa6bd21d4d021458b63376b56c919f9638fc172e1dfe2170d5d4653cde431a5 
and

for examples on the syntax. As the instruction set and unwind opcodes 
differ between x86_64 and arm64, the assembly directives also differ 
accordingly.
