* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
-Fedora 19:
+* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
+ the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
+ as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
+ that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
+ env variable:
+ $ cat /proc/252/environ
+ initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd
-* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
- libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
- name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
- that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
+Fedora 20:
-* cgroup attrs:
- - update dbus interface docs in wiki
+* external: ps should gain colums for slice and machine
* localed:
- localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
+* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
+
+CGroup Rework Completion:
+
+* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
+
+* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
+
+* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
+
+* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+
+* logind: implement session kill exceptions
+
+* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
+
+* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
+
+* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1 (transient units, Reloading signal)
+
+* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
+
Features:
-* nss-myhostname: investigate whether there's any point in also
- resolving localhost6, localhost.localdomain, ip6-localhost or any of
- the other names often seen in /etc/hosts
+* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
+ probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
+
+* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
+
+* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
+
+* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
+
+* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+
+* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
+
+* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
+
+* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
+ only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
+ unit however should remove them all).
+
+* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
+
+* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log priority are logged, sync() immediately.
+
+* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
+
+* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
+
+* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
+ full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
+ to syslog when it works again.
+
+* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
+
+* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
+
+* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
+
+* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
+
+* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
+
+* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
-* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
- without dropping the location cache entirely.
+* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
+
+* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
+
+* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
+
+* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
+
+* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
+
+* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
+ validity of session name before appending it to a path
+
+* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
+ maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
+ entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
+ Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
+ check for that and suppress event handling.
+
+* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
+ RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
+
+* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
+ the hierarchies of child processes
+
+* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
+
+* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
+
+* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
+
+* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
+
+* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
+
+* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
+ boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
+ so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
+ hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
+
+* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
+ ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
+
+* libsystemd-bus:
+ - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
+ - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
+ - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
+ - implement translator service
+ - port systemd to new library
+ - implement busname unit type in systemd
+ - move to gvariant
+ - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
+ - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
+ - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
+ - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
+ - implement monitor logic
+ - object vtable logic
+ - longer term:
+ * priority queues
+ * priority inheritance
+
+* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
+ complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
+
+* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
+ SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
+ makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
+ kernel.
+
+* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
+
+* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
+
+* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
-* for instanced unit drop-ins we should look in foo@bar.service.d/ as well as foo@.service.d/
-
* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
* we need dynamic units
-* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
-
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
-* make sure cg_pid_get_path() works properly for co-mounted controllers
-
-* nspawn: ensure syntax of --uuid= argument is correct
-
-* explicitly disallow changing the cgroup path of units in the
- name=systemd hierarchy, unless it is outside of /system
-
* test/:
- add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
- make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
- remove all the duplicated code in test/
-* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
-
* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
file.
-* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
- kmod static-nodes
- call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
-
-* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
- units.
-
* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
all units we stop before the isolating unit...
-* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
- /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
- and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
-
-* matching against units is currently broken in journalctl. We really
- need another AND level in the expressions,
- i.e. sd_journal_add_conjunction().
-
* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
-* we should log capabilities too
-
* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
- Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
- Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
-* disallow .include from included files
-
-* safe_atod() is too naive, as it is vulnerable to locale parameters, should be locale independent.
-
* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
that automatically.
-* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
-
-* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
+* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
-* fedora: connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-
-* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
+* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
+* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
+* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-* man: add a link to socket activation blog from systemd.socket(5)
-
* man: add more examples to man pages
* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
-* add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
-
-* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
-
-* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on sucess and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
-
* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
-* ensure sd_journal_seek_monotonic actually works properly.
-
* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
- write man page for efi boot generator
- honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
- honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
- - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
+ - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
- check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
- maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
- journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
- - gatewayd: should run under its own UID
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
- journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
- - journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
- - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
- journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
- journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
- journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
- journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
- journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
- - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
+ - journalctl: expand tabs
- journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- - journalctl: make journalctl smarter, and actually check groups that have access to /var/log/journal before printing message about recomming group membership for journal access
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
- Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
- support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
- Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
- - add configuration/switches to use
- freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
- standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
user did not request anything like it.
-* hwdb:
- - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
- - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
-
* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
-* WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
-
* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
* nspawn:
- nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
* cryptsetup:
- - cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
- move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
- - when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
+ - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
-
* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* introduce Type=pid-file
-* maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
-
* change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
-* support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
-
-* drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
-
* when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
* move passno parsing to fstab generator
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
-* ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
-
* udev:
- remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
- move to LGPL
* cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
-* dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
-
* 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
* support container_ttys=
* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
-* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
-
* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
* support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
-* reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
-
* recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
* Support --test based on current system state
works with ^C
