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.
17 * drop no longer needed modprobe.d udlfb file (it does not belong in /etc anyway)
19 * Retest multi-seat (new kms driver for displaylink)
21 * create /var/log/journal/
23 * logind: document new PrepareForSleep(false) semantics and UnlockSessions call in wiki
25 * external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
26 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
27 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
28 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
31 - don't unconditionally filter out duplicate settings
32 - support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
33 - support writte string mapping even for non-high-level settings
34 - add man page for systemctl commands
35 - make sure we work fine with multi-line strings
37 * kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
39 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
41 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm?
45 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
47 * unify killing logic of service, socket, mount, swap units
49 * if we have systemd-analyze in C "systemctl dot" should move there too
52 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
53 - write man page for efi boot generator
54 - add configure switch for enabling/disabling efi stuff
55 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
56 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
57 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
59 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
61 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
63 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
66 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
68 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
71 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
72 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
73 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
74 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
75 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
76 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
77 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
78 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
79 - pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
80 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
82 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
84 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
86 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
89 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
90 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
91 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
92 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
93 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
94 - journal: reuse XZ context
95 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
96 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
97 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
98 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
99 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
100 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
101 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
102 - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
103 - journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
104 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
105 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
106 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
107 - journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
108 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
109 - 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
110 - 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.
111 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
112 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
113 - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
114 - document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
115 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
116 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
117 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
118 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
119 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
120 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
121 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
122 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
123 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
124 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
127 - document unit_name_mangle()
128 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
129 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
130 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
131 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
132 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
133 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
134 - document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
135 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
138 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
139 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
140 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
141 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
142 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
143 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
144 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
145 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
146 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
147 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
148 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
149 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
150 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
152 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
154 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
156 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
159 - configurable jitter for timer events
160 - timer events with system resume
161 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
162 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
165 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
167 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
168 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
169 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
170 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
171 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
172 user did not request anything like it.
175 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
176 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
178 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
179 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
180 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
183 - localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
184 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
186 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
187 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
188 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
189 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
190 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
191 better supported alternative.
193 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
195 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
197 * 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().
199 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
200 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
204 - timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
205 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
207 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
209 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
211 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
213 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
214 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
215 - superset of tmpfiles model
216 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
217 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
218 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
220 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
221 waiting for the timeout
223 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
225 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
227 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
229 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
231 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
234 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
235 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
236 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
237 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
238 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
241 - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
242 - cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
243 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
244 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
245 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
246 - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
248 * instantiated [Install] for target units
249 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
251 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
253 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
254 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
256 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
258 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
260 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
261 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
263 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
265 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
267 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
269 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
271 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
273 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
275 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
277 * 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.
279 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
281 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
283 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
285 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
286 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
287 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
288 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
289 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
290 but much rather a disconnect on success.
292 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
294 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
296 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
298 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
300 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
302 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
304 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
307 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
308 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
309 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
310 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
311 - system-wide seccomp filter
313 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
315 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
317 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
318 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
320 * introduce Type=pid-file
322 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
324 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
326 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
328 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
330 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
332 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
334 * automount: implement expire:
335 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
336 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
337 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
338 - blocking, needs a thread
340 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
342 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
343 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
345 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
347 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
349 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
352 - remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
354 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
356 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
358 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
360 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
362 * 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
364 * support container_ttys=
366 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
368 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
370 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
372 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
374 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
376 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
378 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
380 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
382 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
384 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
386 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
388 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
390 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
392 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
393 needs to be auto-respawned?
395 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
397 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
399 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
401 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
403 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
405 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
406 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
408 * move PAM code into its own binary
410 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
411 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
413 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
415 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
417 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
419 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
420 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
421 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
423 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
424 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
426 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
429 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
430 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
431 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
432 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
433 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
435 * add support for /bin/mount -s
437 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
439 * write blog stories about:
440 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
441 - enabling dbus services
443 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
445 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
446 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
447 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
449 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
450 - the journal HTTP iface
451 - non-cgroup resource management
452 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
453 - refreshed, longer missions statement
454 - celendar time events
456 * allow port=0 in .socket units
458 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
460 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
462 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
464 * Support --test based on current system state
466 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
468 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
470 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
472 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
473 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
477 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
478 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
481 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
483 * io priority during initialization
485 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
491 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
492 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
493 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
494 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
495 - always pass cred data along each message
496 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
498 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
500 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
502 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
504 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
505 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
506 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
507 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
510 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
514 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
516 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
518 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
520 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
524 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
526 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
528 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
530 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
532 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
