Mark Dykes f5402ef7a8 Revert "libc/memset: Implement function in assembler"
This reverts commit e7d344de01.
 This reverts the patch https://review.trustedfirmware.org/c/TF-A/trusted-firmware-a/+/5313 due to a timing issue with the merge.  The merge occurred at the same time as the additional comments and thusly were were not seen until the merge was done.  This reverts the change and additional patches from Alexei will follow to address the concerns expressed in the orignal patch.

Alexei Fedorov e7d344de01 libc/memset: Implement function in assembler
Trace analysis of FVP_Base_AEMv8A model running in
Aarch32 mode with the build options listed below:
TRUSTED_BOARD_BOOT=1 GENERATE_COT=1
ARM_ROTPK_LOCATION=devel_ecdsa KEY_ALG=ecdsa
ROT_KEY=plat/arm/board/common/rotpk/arm_rotprivk_ecdsa.pem
shows that when auth_signature() gets called
71.84% of CPU execution time is spent in memset() function
written in C using single byte write operations,
see lib\libc\memset.c.
This patch replaces C memset() implementation with assembler
version giving the following results:
- for Aarch32 in auth_signature() call memset() CPU time
reduced to 24.84%.
- Number of CPU instructions executed during TF-A
boot stage before start of BL33 in RELEASE builds:
----------------------------------------------
|  Arch   |     C      |  assembler |    %   |
----------------------------------------------
| Aarch32 | 2073275460 | 1487400003 | -28.25 |
| Aarch64 | 2056807158 | 1244898303 | -39.47 |
----------------------------------------------
The patch also replaces memset.c with aarch64/memset.S
in plat\nvidia\tegra\platform.mk.

Antonio Nino Diaz 70b0f2789e libc: Move setjmp to libc folder
Now that setjmp() and longjmp() are compliant with the standard they can
be moved with the other libc files.
