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 * drop --follow from systemctl
24 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
26 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
28 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
30 * journald: don't make SystemMinFileSize= configurable
32 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
34 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
36 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
38 * document unit_name_mangle()
40 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
42 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
44 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
46 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
48 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
50 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
52 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
53 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
54 - superset of tmpfiles model
55 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
56 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
57 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
59 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
60 waiting for the timeout
62 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
64 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
66 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
68 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
70 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
72 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
74 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
76 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
78 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
80 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
82 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
84 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
86 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
87 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
89 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
91 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
93 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
95 * instantiated [Install] for target units
96 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
98 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
99 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
100 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
101 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
103 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
105 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
106 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
108 * make nspawn work without terminal
110 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
111 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
113 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
115 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
117 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
119 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
121 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
123 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
125 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
127 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
129 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
131 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
133 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
135 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
137 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
139 * document in wiki json serialization
141 * system-wide seccomp filter
143 * ability to pass fds into systemd
145 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
147 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
149 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
151 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
153 * 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
155 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
157 * 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.
159 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
161 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
163 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
165 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
167 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
168 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
169 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
170 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
171 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
172 but much rather a disconnect on success.
174 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
176 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
178 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
180 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
182 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
184 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
186 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
188 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
190 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
192 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
194 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
196 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
198 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
200 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
202 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
204 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
206 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
208 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
210 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
212 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
214 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
215 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
217 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
222 * introduce Type=pid-file
224 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
226 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
228 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
230 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
232 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
233 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
234 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
235 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
236 '/' is the separator for the device path list
237 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
239 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
240 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
242 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
244 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
245 (only set if the menu was active)
247 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
249 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
251 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
253 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
255 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
257 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
259 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
260 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
261 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
263 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
265 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
266 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
268 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
270 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
272 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
274 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
276 * automount: implement expire
278 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
279 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
281 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
282 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
284 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
286 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
288 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
290 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
292 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
294 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
296 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
298 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
300 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
304 * udev systemd unify:
305 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
306 - utf8 validator code
307 - now() vs. now_usec()
309 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
310 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
313 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
315 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
317 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
319 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
321 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
323 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
325 * 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
327 * support container_ttys=
329 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
331 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
333 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
335 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
337 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
339 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
341 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
343 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
345 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
347 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
349 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
351 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

367 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
369 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
371 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
373 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
375 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
377 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
379 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
381 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
383 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
384 needs to be auto-respawned?
386 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
388 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
390 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
392 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
394 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
396 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
398 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
400 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
401 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
403 * move PAM code into its own binary
405 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
407 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
409 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
410 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
412 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
414 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
416 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
418 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
420 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
422 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
423 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
424 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
426 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
427 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
429 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
431 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
433 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
435 * add support for /bin/mount -s
437 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
439 * write blog stories about:
440 - enabling dbus services
442 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
444 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
445 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
446 - resource control in systemd
447 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
450 * allow port=0 in .socket units
452 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
454 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
456 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
458 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
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 * configurable jitter for timer events
472 * timer events with system resume
474 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
476 * calendar time support in timer:
477 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
479 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
481 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
482 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
486 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

505 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
506 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
507 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
508 - always pass cred data along each message
510 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
512 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
514 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
516 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
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 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
544 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
546 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
