I see two fails in async.exp on arm-none-eabi target:
nexti&^M
(gdb) 0x000001ba 14 x = 5; x = 5;^M
completed.^M
FAIL: gdb.base/async.exp: nexti&
finish&^M
Run till exit from #0 0x000001ba in foo () at /scratch/yqi/arm-none-eabi-lite/src/gdb-trunk/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/async.c:14^M

Value returned is $1 = 8^M
completed.^M
FAIL: gdb.base/async.exp: finish&
The corresponding test is "test_background "nexti&" "" ".*y = 3.*"",
and it assumes that GDB "nexti" into the next source line. It is wrong
on arm. After "nexti", it still stops at the same source line, and it
fails.
When gdb does "finish", if the PC is in the middle of a source line,
the PC address is printed too. See stack.c:print_frame,
if (opts.addressprint)
if (!sal.symtab
|| frame_show_address (frame, sal)
|| print_what == LOC_AND_ADDRESS)
{
annotate_frame_address ();
if (pc_p)
ui_out_field_core_addr (uiout, "addr", gdbarch, pc);
else
ui_out_field_string (uiout, "addr", "<unavailable>");
annotate_frame_address_end ();
ui_out_text (uiout, " in ");
}
frame_show_address checks whether PC is the middle of a source line.
Since after "nexti", the inferior stops at the middle of a source line,
when we do "finish" the PC address is displayed.
In sum, GDB works well, but test case needs update. This patch is to
add a statement at the same line to make sure "nexti" doesn't go to
the new line, match the next instruction address in the output and
match the hex address the output of "finish".

* gdb.base/async.c (foo): Add one statement.
* gdb.base/async.exp: Get the next instruction address and
match the output of "nexti" by instruction address. Match
the hex address in the output of "finish".
Currently the test assumes that "stepi" over:
13 x = 5;
end up somewhere midline. But, (at least) on x86, that assignment
ends up compiled as just one movl instruction, so a stepi stops at the
next line already:
completed.

This patch fixes it, by making sure there's more than one instruction
in that line.

* gdb.base/async.c (foo): Make 'x' volatile. Write to it twice in
the same line.
gdb/testsuite/
2014-03-19 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.base/async.c (main): Add "jump here" and "until here" line
marker comments.
* gdb.base/async.exp (jump_here): New global.
(jump& test): Use it.
(until_here): New global.
(until& test): Use it.
