The implementation does not aim to be the state-of-the-art sort algorithm, instead it uses used a well-understood introsort (used on libstdc++, for instance) and leveraged the current quicksort implementation along with a heapsort one from Linux kernel. Performance-wise, the introsort does fall short compared to the mergesort [1]. I have not added a benchmark because I think this should not be the focus of this patch. Changes from v7: - Move __memswap to a static inline on its own header. - Improve some comments. Changes from v6: - Added internal __memswap symbol. - Improved tst-qsort3 with a reference implementation and a new duplicated input. Changes from v5: - Rewrite heapsort to a custom implementation. - Use may_alias attribute on swap optimization. Changes from v4 - Use enum for swap function selection. - Simplify is_aligned. - Renamed insertsort.
