The copy_file_range syscall can improve copy performance by cloning extents between cpio archive source and destination files. Existing read / write based copy logic is retained for fallback in case the copy_file_range syscall is unsupported or unavailable due to cross-filesystem EXDEV, etc. Clone or reflink, as opposed to copy, of source file extents into the output cpio archive may (e.g. on Btrfs and XFS) require alignment of the output to the filesystem block size. This could be achieved by inserting padding entries into the cpio archive manifest.
