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 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10 * make polkit checks async
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
14 * add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
15 * make test in test/ work with separate output dir
17 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
20 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
22 * drop no longer needed modprobe.d udlfb file (it does not belong in /etc anyway)
24 * Retest multi-seat (new kms driver for displaylink)
26 * make sure pkexec works fine with pam_systemd works fine with audit=0
28 * create /var/log/journal/
30 * logind: document new PrepareForSleep(false) semantics and UnlockSessions call in wiki
32 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
33 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
34 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
35 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
38 - don't unconditionally filter out duplicate settings
39 - support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
40 - support writte string mapping even for non-high-level settings
41 - add man page for systemctl commands
42 - make sure we work fine with multi-line strings
44 * kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
46 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
48 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
51 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
52 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
54 * The tag "seat-master" in udev is badly named, as it might conflict with
59 * We should not set KDSKBMODE to K_UNICODE in vconsole-setup if the
60 kbd is currently in raw/off state.
62 * Honour "-" for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
63 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
65 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
66 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
67 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
70 * nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
71 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
72 interfaces to the container
74 * merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
76 * when auto-detecting the main pid of a service, only look for those processes with ppid == 1
78 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
80 * if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
83 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
84 - write man page for efi boot generator
85 - add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
86 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
87 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
88 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
90 * polkit: add configure switch to enable/disable polkit client side code
92 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
94 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
96 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
97 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
99 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
101 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
104 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
105 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
106 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
107 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
108 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
109 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
110 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
111 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
112 - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
113 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
115 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
117 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
119 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
122 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
123 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
124 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
125 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
126 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
127 - journal: reuse XZ context
128 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
129 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
130 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
131 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
132 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
133 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
134 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
135 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
136 - journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
137 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
138 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
139 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
140 - journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
141 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
142 - 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
143 - 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.
144 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
145 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
146 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
147 - document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
148 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
149 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
150 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
151 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
152 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
153 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
154 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
155 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
156 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
157 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
160 - document unit_name_mangle()
161 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
162 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
163 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
164 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
165 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
166 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
167 - document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
168 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
171 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
172 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
173 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
174 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
175 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
176 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
177 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
178 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
179 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
180 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
181 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
182 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
183 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
185 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
187 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
189 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
192 - configurable jitter for timer events
193 - timer events with system resume
194 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
195 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
198 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
200 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
201 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
202 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
203 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
204 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
205 user did not request anything like it.
208 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
209 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
211 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
212 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
213 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
215 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
216 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
217 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
218 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
219 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
220 better supported alternative.
222 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
224 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
226 * 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().
228 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
229 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
233 - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
234 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
236 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
238 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
240 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
242 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
243 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
244 - superset of tmpfiles model
245 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
246 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
247 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
249 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
250 waiting for the timeout
252 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
254 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
256 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
258 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
260 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
263 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
264 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
265 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
266 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
267 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
270 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
271 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
272 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
273 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
274 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
275 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
277 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
279 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
280 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
282 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
284 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
286 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
287 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
289 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
291 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
293 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
295 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
297 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
299 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
301 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
303 * 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.
305 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
307 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
309 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
311 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
312 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
313 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
314 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
315 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
316 but much rather a disconnect on success.
318 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
320 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
322 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
324 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
326 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
328 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
330 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
333 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
334 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
335 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
336 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
337 - system-wide seccomp filter
339 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
341 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
343 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
344 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
346 * introduce Type=pid-file
348 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
350 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
352 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
354 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
356 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
358 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
360 * automount: implement expire:
361 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
362 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
363 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
364 - blocking, needs a thread
366 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
368 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
369 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
371 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
373 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
375 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
378 - remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
380 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
382 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
384 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
386 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
388 * 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
390 * support container_ttys=
392 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
394 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
396 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
398 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
400 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
402 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
404 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
406 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
408 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
410 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
412 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
414 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
416 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
418 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
419 needs to be auto-respawned?
421 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
423 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
425 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
427 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
429 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
431 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
432 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
434 * move PAM code into its own binary
436 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
437 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
439 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
441 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
443 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
445 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
446 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
447 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
449 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
450 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
452 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
455 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
456 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
457 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
458 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
459 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
461 * add support for /bin/mount -s
463 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
465 * write blog stories about:
466 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
467 - enabling dbus services
469 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
471 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
472 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
473 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
475 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
476 - the journal HTTP iface
477 - non-cgroup resource management
478 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
479 - refreshed, longer missions statement
480 - celendar time events
482 * allow port=0 in .socket units
484 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
486 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
488 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
490 * Support --test based on current system state
492 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
494 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
496 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
498 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
499 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
503 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
504 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
507 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
509 * io priority during initialization
511 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
517 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
518 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
519 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
520 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
521 - always pass cred data along each message
522 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
524 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
526 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
528 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
530 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
531 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
532 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
533 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
536 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
540 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
542 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
544 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
546 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
550 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
552 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
554 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
556 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
558 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
