"local label 1, backwards" ie the first label "1" you'll
meet when going back up. Opposite is "1f" (Forward) which
means "the first label you'll meet going forward in the
source).

So :
        
1:     cmp     r0,#0
        beq     1f
        bne     1b
1:


If r0==0, you leave the loop, otherwise you stay in it
(obviously that's not what you'd do in real life, you'd call
your labels "1", "2", ...)
