The existing comment in lib/sort refers to glibc qsort() using quicksort. However, glibc qsort() no longer uses quicksort; it now uses mergesort and falls back to heapsort if memory allocation for mergesort fails. This makes the comment outdated and incorrect. Update the comment to refer to quicksort in general rather than glibc's implementation to provide accurate information about the comparisons and trade-offs without implying an outdated implementation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
