This PR adds an implementation of quicksort to the MiBench patches, as calling the libc implementation of quicksort isn't super interesting. I've inlined a version of qsort that DSWP is used, but gets no speedup (the non-expanded input_large.dat takes 3 seconds baseline while the noelle version takes 48 seconds). I am working on an enabler to allow llvm's tailcallelim pass to perform it's work w/o giving up.
The main reason llvm is giving up seems to be that they expect tailcalls to look like this:
where the return is immediately after a recursive call to the function. However, the frontend spits out this code:
and as such, the tailcallelim pass gives up.
