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.
16 * add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
17 * make test in test/ work with separate output dir
21 * drop no longer needed modprobe.d udlfb file (it does not belong in /etc anyway)
23 * Retest multi-seat (new kms driver for displaylink)
25 * make sure pkexec works fine with pam_systemd works fine with audit=0
27 * create /var/log/journal/
29 * logind: document new PrepareForSleep(false) semantics and UnlockSessions call in wiki
31 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
32 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
33 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
34 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
37 - don't unconditionally filter out duplicate settings
38 - support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
39 - support writte string mapping even for non-high-level settings
40 - add man page for systemctl commands
41 - make sure we work fine with multi-line strings
43 * kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
45 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
47 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
50 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
51 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
55 * nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
56 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
57 interfaces to the container
59 * merge service_kill() logic into unit_kill_context() and unify the code paths
61 * when auto-detecting the main pid of a service, only look for those processes with ppid == 1
63 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
65 * if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
68 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
69 - write man page for efi boot generator
70 - add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
71 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
72 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
73 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
75 * polkit: add configure switch to enable/disable polkit client side code
77 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
79 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
81 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
82 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
84 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
86 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
89 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
90 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
91 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
92 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
93 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
94 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
95 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
96 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
97 - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
98 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
100 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
102 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
104 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
107 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
108 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
109 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
110 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
111 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
112 - journal: reuse XZ context
113 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
114 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
115 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
116 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
117 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
118 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
119 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
120 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
121 - journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
122 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
123 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
124 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
125 - journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
126 - 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
128 - 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.
129 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
130 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
131 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
132 - document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
133 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
134 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
135 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
136 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
137 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
138 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
139 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
140 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
141 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
142 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
145 - document unit_name_mangle()
146 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
147 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
148 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
149 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
150 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
151 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
152 - document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
153 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
156 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
157 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
158 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
159 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
160 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
161 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
162 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
163 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
164 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
165 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
166 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
167 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
168 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
170 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
172 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
174 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
177 - configurable jitter for timer events
178 - timer events with system resume
179 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
180 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
183 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
185 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
186 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
187 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
188 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
189 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
190 user did not request anything like it.
193 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
194 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
196 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
197 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
198 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
200 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
201 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
202 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
203 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
204 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
205 better supported alternative.
207 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
209 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
211 * 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().
213 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
214 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
218 - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
219 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
221 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
223 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
225 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
227 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
228 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
229 - superset of tmpfiles model
230 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
231 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
232 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
234 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
235 waiting for the timeout
237 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
239 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
241 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
243 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
245 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
248 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
249 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
250 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
251 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
252 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
255 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
256 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
257 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
258 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
259 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
260 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
262 * instantiated [Install] for target units
263 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
265 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
267 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
268 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
270 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
272 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
274 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
275 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
277 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
279 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
281 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
283 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
285 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
287 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
289 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
291 * 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.
293 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
295 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
297 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
299 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
300 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
301 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
302 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
303 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
304 but much rather a disconnect on success.
306 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
308 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
310 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
312 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
314 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
316 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
318 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
321 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
322 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
323 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
324 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
325 - system-wide seccomp filter
327 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
329 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
331 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
332 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
334 * introduce Type=pid-file
336 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
338 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
340 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
342 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
344 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
346 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
348 * automount: implement expire:
349 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
350 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
351 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
352 - blocking, needs a thread
354 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
356 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
357 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
359 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
361 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
363 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
366 - remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
368 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
370 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
372 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
374 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
376 * 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
378 * support container_ttys=
380 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
382 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
384 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
386 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
388 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
390 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
392 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
394 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
396 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
398 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
400 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
402 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
404 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
406 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
407 needs to be auto-respawned?
409 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
411 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
413 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
415 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
417 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
419 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
420 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
422 * move PAM code into its own binary
424 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
425 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
427 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
429 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
431 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
433 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
434 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
435 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
437 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
438 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
440 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
443 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
444 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
445 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
446 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
447 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
449 * add support for /bin/mount -s
451 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
453 * write blog stories about:
454 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
455 - enabling dbus services
457 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
459 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
460 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
461 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
463 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
464 - the journal HTTP iface
465 - non-cgroup resource management
466 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
467 - refreshed, longer missions statement
468 - celendar time events
470 * allow port=0 in .socket units
472 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
474 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
476 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
478 * Support --test based on current system state
480 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
482 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
484 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
486 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
487 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
491 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
492 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
495 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
497 * io priority during initialization
499 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
505 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
506 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
507 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
508 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
509 - always pass cred data along each message
510 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
512 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
514 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
516 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
518 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
519 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
520 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
521 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
524 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
528 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
530 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
532 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
534 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
538 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
540 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
542 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
544 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
546 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
