setup time is time taken by circuit to start the operation.

hold time is time taken by circuit to provide output after operation get finished.

Negative setup/hold time means these time does not fit in the design criteria which you selected and these times exceeds than provided. If you reduce design frequency, setup time may be solved.

Read following post, which gives good idea how to solve this problem.

You can refer xilinx documentation on synthesis also, which may give me some information. visit documentation section on ww.xilinx.com
