2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
8 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
9 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
10 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12 * make polkit checks async
14 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
22 * add "loginctl unlock-sessions" as counterpart for "loginctl lock-sessions"
24 * add a man page "systemdall" that lists all of systemd's man pages, inspired by zsh's "zshall" page
26 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
28 * kernel cmdline switch to turn of predictable network interface names
30 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
32 * udev: remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
34 * logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
36 * service: when killing a service with SIGKILL always kill all processes, even if for SIGTERM we only killed the main process
38 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
40 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
42 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
44 * journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
45 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
46 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
48 * journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
50 * check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
52 * Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
54 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
56 * journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
58 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
60 * add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
62 * maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
64 * fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
66 * declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
68 * journal: reuse XZ context
70 * sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
72 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
74 * timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
75 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
78 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
80 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
81 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
82 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
83 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
84 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
85 user did not request anything like it.
87 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
89 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
92 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
93 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
94 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
95 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
97 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
99 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
101 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
102 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
103 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
104 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
106 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
108 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
110 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
112 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
114 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
115 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
117 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
119 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
121 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
123 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
125 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
127 * journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
129 * journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
131 * If we show an error about a unit (such as not showing up) and it has no Description string, then show a description string generated form the reverse of unit_name_mangle().
133 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
134 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
137 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
139 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
141 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
143 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
145 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
147 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
149 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
151 * document unit_name_mangle()
153 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
155 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
157 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
159 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
161 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
163 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
165 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
166 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
167 - superset of tmpfiles model
168 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
169 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
170 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
172 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
173 waiting for the timeout
175 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
177 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
179 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
181 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
183 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
185 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
187 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
189 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
191 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
193 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
195 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
197 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
198 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
200 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
202 * instantiated [Install] for target units
203 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
205 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
207 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
208 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
210 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
211 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
213 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
215 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
217 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
218 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
220 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
222 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
224 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
226 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
228 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
230 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
232 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
234 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
236 * system-wide seccomp filter
238 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
240 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
242 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
244 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
246 * testing tool for socket activation: some binary that listens on a socket and passes it on using the usual socket activation protocol to some server.
248 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
250 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
252 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
254 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
256 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
257 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
258 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
259 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
260 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
261 but much rather a disconnect on success.
263 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
265 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
267 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools

275 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
277 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
279 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
281 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
283 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
285 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
287 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
289 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
291 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
293 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
295 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
297 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
299 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
301 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
303 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
305 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
306 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
308 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
313 * introduce Type=pid-file
315 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
317 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
319 * efi: honor language efi variables for default language selection
321 * efi: honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
323 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
324 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
325 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
326 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
327 '/' is the separator for the device path list
328 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
330 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
331 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
333 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
335 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
336 (only set if the menu was active)
338 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
340 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
342 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
344 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
346 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
348 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
350 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
351 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
353 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
355 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
356 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
358 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
360 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
362 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
364 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
366 * automount: implement expire
368 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
370 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
372 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz

376 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
378 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
380 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
382 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
386 * udev systemd unify:
387 - utf8 validator code
389 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
391 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
393 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
395 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
397 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
399 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
401 * support container_ttys=
403 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
405 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
407 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
409 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
411 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
413 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
415 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
417 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
419 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
421 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
423 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
425 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
427 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API

433 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
435 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
437 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
439 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
441 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
443 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
445 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
447 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
449 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
451 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
452 needs to be auto-respawned?
454 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
456 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
458 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
460 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
462 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
464 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
466 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.

478 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
480 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
482 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
484 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
486 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
488 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
489 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
490 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
492 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
493 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
495 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
497 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
499 * add support for /bin/mount -s
501 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
503 * write blog stories about:

505 - enabling dbus services
507 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
509 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
510 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
511 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
513 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
514 - the journal HTTP iface
515 - non-cgroup resource management
516 - refreshed, longer missions statement
518 * allow port=0 in .socket units
520 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
522 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
524 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
526 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
528 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
530 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
532 * Support --test based on current system state
534 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
536 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
538 * configurable jitter for timer events
540 * timer events with system resume
542 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
544 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
546 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
547 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
551 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

570 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
571 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
572 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
573 - always pass cred data along each message
575 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
577 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
579 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
581 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
583 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
584 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
585 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
586 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
589 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
593 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
595 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
597 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
599 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
603 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
605 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
607 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
609 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
611 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
