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.
21 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
22 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
23 - superset of tmpfiles model
24 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
25 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
26 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
28 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
29 waiting for the timeout
31 * make sure that the journal output from the initrd is always merged into the journalctl output even if -m is not passed.
33 * add time seeks to journalctl
35 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
37 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
39 * systemctl should be able to show log messages from certain privileged 3rd party daemons such as setroubleshoot
41 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
43 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
45 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
47 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
49 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
51 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
53 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
55 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
57 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
59 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
61 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
62 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
64 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
66 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
68 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
70 * instantiated [Install] for target units
71 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
73 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
74 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
75 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
76 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
78 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
80 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
81 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
83 * make nspawn work without terminal
85 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
86 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
88 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
90 * does vasprintf advance the struct vaargs? http://pastie.org/pastes/4712773/text
92 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
94 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
96 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
98 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
100 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
102 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
104 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
106 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
108 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
110 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
112 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
114 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
118 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
120 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
122 * document in wiki json serialization
124 * system-wide seccomp filter
126 * ability to pass fds into systemd
128 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
130 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
132 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
134 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
136 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
138 * cleanup ellipsation for log output in journalctl and systemctl status: have a sane way to disable ellipsation, and disable it by default when invoked in less/more
140 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
142 * 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.
144 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
146 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
148 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
150 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
152 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
154 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
155 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
156 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
157 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
158 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
159 but much rather a disconnect on success.
161 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
163 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
165 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
167 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
169 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
171 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
173 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
175 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
177 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
179 * install README to /etc/rc.d/init.d (if support for that is enabled) helping people who use "ls" there to figure out which services exist.
181 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
183 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
185 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
187 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
189 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
191 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
193 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
195 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
197 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
199 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
201 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
203 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
204 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
206 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
211 * introduce Type=pid-file
213 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
215 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
217 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
219 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
221 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
223 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
224 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
225 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
226 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
227 '/' is the separator for the device path list
228 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
230 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
231 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
233 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
235 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
236 (only set if the menu was active)
238 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
240 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
242 * systemctl: when stopping a service which has triggres and warning about it actually check the TriggeredBy= deps fields
244 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
246 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
248 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
250 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
252 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
253 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
254 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
256 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
258 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
259 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
261 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
263 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
265 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
267 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
269 * automount: implement expire
271 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
272 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
274 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
275 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
277 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
279 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
281 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz

285 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
287 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
289 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
291 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
293 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
297 * udev systemd unify:
298 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
299 - utf8 validator code
300 - now() vs. now_usec()
302 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
303 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
306 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
308 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
310 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
312 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
314 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
316 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
318 * 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
320 * support container_ttys=
322 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
324 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
326 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
328 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
330 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
332 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
334 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
336 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
338 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
340 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
342 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
344 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
346 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
348 * journald: reuse XZ context
350 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
352 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
354 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

368 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
370 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
372 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
374 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
376 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
378 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
380 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
382 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
383 needs to be auto-respawned?
385 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
387 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
389 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
391 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
393 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
395 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
397 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
399 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
400 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
402 * move PAM code into its own binary
404 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
406 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
408 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
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 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
417 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
419 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
421 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
423 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
424 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
425 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
427 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
428 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
430 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
432 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
434 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
436 * add support for /bin/mount -s
438 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
440 * write blog stories about:
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 - resource control in systemd
449 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
452 * allow port=0 in .socket units
454 * move readahead files into /var, look for them with .path units
456 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
458 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
460 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
462 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
464 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
466 * Support --test based on current system state
468 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
470 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
472 * configurable jitter for timer events
474 * timer events with system resume
476 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
478 * calendar time support in timer:
479 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
481 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
483 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
485 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
487 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
488 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
492 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
493 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)

510 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
511 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
512 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
513 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
514 - always pass cred data along each message
516 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
518 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
520 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
522 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
524 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
525 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
526 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
527 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
530 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
534 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
536 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
538 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
540 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
544 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
546 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
548 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
550 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
552 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
