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 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
24 * timer units should get the ability to trigger:
25 a) when CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
26 b) when DST jumps takes place (glibc's zoneinfo "mess")
27 We want to be able to schedule an event when the system time changes by user
28 request, or DST change takes effect, to update the rtc-in-localtime and sys_tz
29 of the kernel when needed.
31 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
33 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
36 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
37 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
38 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
39 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
41 * sd_journal_enumerate_data() implies XZ-decoding compressed field, this sucks hard
43 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
45 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
47 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
48 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
49 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
50 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
52 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
54 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
56 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
58 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
60 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
62 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
63 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
65 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
67 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
69 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
71 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
73 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
75 * 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
77 * 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.
79 * 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().
81 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
82 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
85 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
87 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
89 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
91 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
93 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
95 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
97 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
99 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
101 * document unit_name_mangle()
103 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
105 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
107 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
109 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
111 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
113 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
115 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
116 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
117 - superset of tmpfiles model
118 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
119 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
120 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
122 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
123 waiting for the timeout
125 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
127 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
129 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
131 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
133 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
135 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
137 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
139 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
141 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
143 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
145 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
147 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
149 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
150 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
152 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
154 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
156 * instantiated [Install] for target units
157 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
159 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
161 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
162 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
164 * make nspawn work without terminal
166 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
167 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
169 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
171 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
173 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
175 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
177 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
179 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
181 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
183 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
185 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
187 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
189 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
191 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
193 * system-wide seccomp filter
195 * ability to pass fds into systemd
197 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
199 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
201 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
203 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
205 * 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.
207 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
209 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
211 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
213 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
215 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
216 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
217 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
218 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
219 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
220 but much rather a disconnect on success.
222 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
224 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
226 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
228 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
230 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
232 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
234 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
236 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
238 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
240 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
242 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
244 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
246 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
248 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
250 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
252 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
254 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
256 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
258 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
260 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
262 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
263 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
265 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
270 * introduce Type=pid-file
272 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
274 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
276 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
278 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
280 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
281 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
282 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
283 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
284 '/' is the separator for the device path list
285 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
287 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
288 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
290 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
292 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
293 (only set if the menu was active)
295 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
297 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
299 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
301 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
303 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
305 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
307 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
308 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
309 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
311 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
313 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
314 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
316 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
318 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
320 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
322 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
324 * automount: implement expire
326 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
327 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
329 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
330 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
332 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
334 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
336 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
338 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
340 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
342 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
344 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
346 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
348 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
352 * udev systemd unify:
353 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
354 - utf8 validator code
355 - now() vs. now_usec()
357 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
359 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
361 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
363 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
365 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
367 * 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
369 * support container_ttys=
371 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
373 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
375 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
377 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
379 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
381 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
383 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
385 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
387 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
389 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
391 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
393 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
395 * journald: reuse XZ context
397 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
399 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

407 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
409 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
411 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
413 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
415 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
417 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
419 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
421 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
423 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
424 needs to be auto-respawned?
426 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
428 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
430 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
432 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
434 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
436 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
438 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
440 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
441 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
443 * move PAM code into its own binary
445 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
447 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
449 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
450 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
452 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
454 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
456 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
458 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
460 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
462 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
463 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
464 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
466 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
467 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
469 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
471 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
473 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
475 * add support for /bin/mount -s
477 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
479 * write blog stories about:
480 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
481 - enabling dbus services
483 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
485 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
486 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
487 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
489 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
490 - the journal HTTP iface
491 - non-cgroup resource management
493 * allow port=0 in .socket units
495 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
497 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
499 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
501 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
503 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
505 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
507 * Support --test based on current system state
509 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
511 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
513 * configurable jitter for timer events
515 * timer events with system resume
517 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
519 * calendar time support in timer:
520 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
522 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
524 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
525 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
529 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
530 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
533 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
535 * io priority during initialization
537 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
539 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
541 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
547 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
548 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
549 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
550 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
551 - always pass cred data along each message
553 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
555 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
557 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
559 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
561 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
562 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
563 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
564 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
567 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
571 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
573 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
575 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
577 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
581 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
583 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
585 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
587 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
589 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
591 * insserv support (definitely: remove)
