It's an eABI convention that spans the runtime and the compiler.
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ihi0043/e/?lang=en#standardized-compiler-helper-functions
says it returns a "pair of (unsigned) long longs is returned in {{r0,
r1}, {r2, r3}}, the quotient in {r0, r1}, and the remainder in {r2, r3}."
