[Serge Petrenko]

Hi! Thanks for the patch!
Let me add my 5 cents.

Please check src/lib/core/fiber.h
It disables fiber.top for ARM architecture:

```
/*                                                                                  
 * Fiber top doesn't work on ARM processors at the moment,                          
 * because we haven't chosen an alternative to rdtsc.                               
 */                                                                                 
#ifdef __CC_ARM                                                                     
#define ENABLE_FIBER_TOP 0                                                          
#else                                                                               
#define ENABLE_FIBER_TOP 1                                                          
#endif
```

So, it looks like your patch not only adds ARM testing, but also closes a
relevant ticket re fiber.top (https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/issues/4573)
[Implement fiber.top() for ARM].

Anyway, this is worth a separate patch, and IMO in this patch you should just disable
fiber.top() test on ARM somehow. As I can see you tried to implement it on arm because
otherwise the test would fail.
