bb.utils.copyfile is called in a few places with identical src and dst
in order to create an st_nlinks==1 version of the file. That that even
works relies on an implementation detail of copyfile (namely, that it
creates a temporary file and then does a rename). Moreover, it's a waste
of time if the file already has st_nlinks==1.
So create a helper that optimizes away the copy in the st_nlinks==1
case. Of course, this helper relies on the same implementation detail,
but that's now contained within bb.utils itself.
To test that we do at least sometimes hit the no-copy path, I tested
locally with
if sstat[stat.ST_NLINK] == 1:
+ bb.note("Woohoo, 2*%d bytes I/O avoided" % sstat[stat.ST_SIZE])
return True
(and the obvious places in oe-core patched), and the do_package log files
are indeed filled with woohoo notes.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
Contributing
Please refer to http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
