External:
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* Fedora: move kernel image to /usr/lib/modules/, kernel-install will take care of populating /boot
+* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
-* Fedora: remove /etc/resolv.conf tmpfiles hack
+Janitorial Clean-ups:
-* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
+* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
-* When lz4 gets an API for lz4 command output, make use of it to
- compress coredumps in a way compatible with /usr/bin/lz4.
+Features:
-Release 219 preparations:
+* sort generated hwdb files alphabetically when we import them, so that git
+ diffs remain minimal (in particular: the OUI databases we import are not
+ sorted, and not stable)
-* rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+* set SystemCallArchitectures=native on all our services
-* create importd daemon, move "systemd-import" tool into machinectl
+* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
+ the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
+ O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
+ logging.
-Features:
+* tighten sd_notify() MAINPID= checks a bit: don't accept foreign PIDs (i.e.
+ PIDs not managed by the service manager)
+
+* journald: when we recv a log datagram via the native or syslog transports,
+ search for the PID in the active stream connections, and let's make sure to
+ always process the datagrams before the streams. Then, cache client metadata
+ per stream in the stream object. This way we can somewhat fix the race with
+ quickly exiting processes which log as long as they had their own stream
+ connection...
+
+* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
+ yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
+ "convertible" form factor
+
+* Maybe add a small tool invoked early at boot, that adds in or resizes
+ partitions automatically, to be used when the media used is actually larger
+ than the image written onto it is.
+
+* Maybe add PrivatePIDs= as new unit setting, and do minimal PID namespacing
+ after all. Be strict however, only support the equivalent of nspawn's
+ --as-pid2 switch, and sanely proxy sd_notify() messages dropping stuff such
+ as MAINPID.
+
+* change the dependency Set* objects in Unit structures to become Hashmap*, and
+ then store a bit mask who created a specific dependency: the source unit via
+ fragment configuration, the destination unit via fragment configuration, or
+ the source unit via udev rules (in case of .device units), or any combination
+ thereof. This information can then be used to flush out old udev-created
+ dependencies when the udev properties change, and eventually to implement a
+ "systemctl refresh" operation for reloading the configuration of individual
+ units without reloading the whole set.
+
+* Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
+ the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
+ exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
+
+* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
+ process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
+
+* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
+ services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
+ execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
+ "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
+ natural habitat.
+
+* replace all canonicalize_file_name() invocations by chase_symlinks(), in
+ particulr those where a rootdir is relevant.
+
+* maybe introduce gpt auto discovery for /var/tmp?
+
+* set ProtectSystem=strict for all our usual services.
+
+* fix PrivateNetwork= so that we fall back gracefully on kernels lacking
+ namespacing support (similar for the other namespacing options)
+
+* maybe add gpt-partition-based user management: each user gets his own
+ LUKS-encrypted GPT partition with a new GPT type. A small nss module
+ enumerates users via udev partition enumeration. UIDs are assigned in a fixed
+ way: the partition index is added as offset to some fixed base uid. User name
+ is stored in GPT partition name. A PAM module authenticates the user via the
+ LUKS partition password. Benefits: strong per-user security, compatibility
+ with stateless/read-only/verity-enabled root. (other idea: do this based on
+ loopback files in /home, without GPT involvement)
+
+* gpt-auto logic: introduce support for discovering /var matching an image. For
+ that, use a partition type UUID that is hashed from the OS name (as encoded
+ in /etc/os-release), the architecture, and 4 new bits from the gpt flags
+ field of the root partition. This way can easily support multiple OS
+ installations on the same GPT partition table, without problems with
+ unmatched /var partitions.
+
+* gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
+ partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
+ /usr is mounted into.
+
+* machined: add apis to query /etc/machine-info data of a container
+
+* .mount and .swap units: add Format=yes|no option that formats the partition before mounting/enabling it, implicitly
+
+* gpt-auto logic: support encrypted swap, add kernel cmdline option to force it, and honour a gpt bit about it, plus maybe a configuration file
+
+* drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
+
+* drop internal dlopen() based nss-dns fallback in nss-resolve, and rely on the
+ external nsswitch.conf based one
+
+* add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
+ then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
+ relative to the configured default value.
+
+* on cgroupsv2 add DelegateControllers=, to pick the precise cgroup controllers to delegate
+
+* in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
+
+* enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
+
+* switch to ProtectSystem=strict for all our long-running services where that's possible
+
+* Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
+
+* nspawn: start UID allocation loop from hash of container name
+
+* nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
-* import-dkr: support tarsum checksum verification, if it becomes reality one day...
+* define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
-* import-dkr: convert json bits to nspawn configuration
+* ProtectKernelLogs= (drops CAP_SYSLOG, add seccomp for syslog() syscall, and DeviceAllow to /dev/kmsg) in service files
-* import: support import from local files, and export to local files
+* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
-* core/cgroup: support net_cls modules, and support automatically allocating class ids, then add support for making firewall changes depending on it, to implement a per-service firewall
+* ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
-* bus-proxy: reload policy when PID 1 reports a reload
+* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
-* the dbus1 connection user id is actually the euid, not the uid, and creds should return that
+* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
-* introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
+* RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
-* logind,machined: add generic catch-all polkit verbs for most priviliged operations, similar to systemd itself
+* ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
+ on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
+ /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
-* "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in question
+* DeviceAllow= should also generate seccomp filters for mknod()
-* nspawn: don't change superblock mount options from nspawn for cgroup hierarchies
+* Add DataDirectory=, CacheDirectory= and LogDirectory= to match
+ RuntimeDirectory=, and create it as necessary when starting a service, owned by the right user.
-* "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as machine-info data (including deployment level)
+* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
-* nspawn: when start a container "foobar" look for its configuration in a file "foobar.nspawn" in /etc/systemd/nspawn/ as well as next to the actualy directory or image to boot
+* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
-* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
+* mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
+ partitions
-* Check all invocations of access() and consider turning them into laccess()
+* expose the "privileged" flag of ExecCommand on the bus, and open it up to
+ transient units
-* "machinectl history"
+* in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
+ find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
+ a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
+ mapping to work.
-* "machinectl diff"
+* allow attaching additional journald log fields to cgroups
-* "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
+* add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
-* "machinectl status" should show 10 most recent log lines of both the host logs of the unit of the machine, plus the logs generated in the machine
+* add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
-* add transparent btrfs pool in a loopback file in /var if btrfs operations (such as systemd-import pull-dkr) are used and /var is not a btrfs file system
+* add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
-* systemd-nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
+* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
+ kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
-* move machinectl's mount and copy commands into machined
+* check if DeviceAllow= should split first, resolve specifiers later
+
+* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
+ reload the unit file anyway
+
+* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
+ from the SIGBUS handler
+
+* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
+
+* resolved: when routing queries, make sure only look for the *longest* suffix...
+
+* delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
+ in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
+
+* cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
+
+* add systemctl stop --job-mode=triggering that follows TRIGGERED_BY deps and adds them to the same transaction
+
+* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
+ specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
+
+* add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
+ the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
+ specifications.
+
+* do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
+
+* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
+
+* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
+
+* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
+
+* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
+ as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
+ prefixed with /sys generally special.
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
+
+* man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
+
+* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
+
+* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
+
+* mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
+ devices will result in collected on all devices used.
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
+
+* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
+ running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
+ state.
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
+
+* Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
+
+* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
+ whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
+ be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
+ picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
+ the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
+
+* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
+ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
+
+* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
+
+* implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
+
+* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable: busctl,
+ coredumpctl, hostnamectl, localectl, systemd-analyze, timedatectl
* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
-* port libmount hookup to use API's own inotify interface, as soon as that is table in libmount
-
* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
do, for example)
-* resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
- names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
- (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
-
-* systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
- journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
- continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
- useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
-
* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
-* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
+* as soon as we have sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
-* set $REMOTE_IP (or $REMOTE_ADDR/$REMOTE_PORT) environment variable when doing per-connection socket activation. use format introduced by xinetd or CGI for this
-
-* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
-
* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
-* we should try harder to collapse start jobs for swaps that end up being the same:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-November/025359.html
-
-* timedated should compensate on SetTime for the time spent in polkit
-
* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
-* sd-resolve: drop res_query wrapping, people should call via the bus to resolved instead
-
* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
-* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
-
-* networkd-wait-online really should have a timeout by default
-
-* add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
-
-* machined: add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being removed or added to an existing machine
-
* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
-* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to unquote_first_word() loops instead
-
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
-* dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
-
* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
-* maybe support a new very "soft" reboot mode, that simply kills all processes, disassembles everything, flushes /run and sysvipc, and then reexecs systemd again
-
-* man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
-
* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
-* "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP addresses
-
* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
-* systemctl edit:
-- allow creation of units from scratch
-- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
+* systemctl edit: use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
-* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
-
-* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
-
-* tmpfiles: port to unquote_many_words(), similar to sysusers
+* exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
-* unquote_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
- currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
- parsing callbacks should use it.
+* timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
units are shown.
-* networkd:
- - add LLDP client side support
- - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
- a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
- - .network setting that allows overriding of the hostname to send to the dhcp server
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-July/021550.html
- - expose in the API the following bits:
- - option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
- - option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
- - option 100, 101, timezone
- - option 123, 144, geolocation
- - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
- - networkd's dhcp server should transparently pass on the DNS and
- NTP server list it got from user configuration and its dhcp client
- to clients. It should also pass on its own timezone information.
- - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
- for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
- - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
- support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
+* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
+ (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
* resolved:
- - put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
- we always process them before we process client requests
- - DNSSEC
- - use base64 for key presentation?
- - add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
- - add nice formatting of DNS timestamps
- - DNS
- - search paths
- mDNS/DNS-SD
+ - service registration
+ - service/domain/types browsing
- avahi compat
- DNS-SD service registration from socket units
- - edns0
- - dname
- - cname on PTR (?)
- - maybe randomize DNS UDP source ports
- - maybe compare query section of DNS replies
+ - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
+ names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
+ (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
+ - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
+ - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
-* Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
+* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
* support empty /etc boots nicely:
- nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
- - fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
-* timer units: actually add extra delays to timer units with high AccuracySec values, don't start them already when we are awake...
-
* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
-* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
-
-* sd-event: generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
-
* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
-* consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
-
-* sd-event: define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
-
* gpt-auto-generator:
- - Support LUKS for root devices
- Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
- Make /home automount rather than mount?
CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
when it is otherwise off
-* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
-
-* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
- /proc/$PID/exe
+* MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
-* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
-
* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
$UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
the hierarchies of child processes
* transient units:
- - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
- ensure scope units may be started only a single time
* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
-* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
-
* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
-* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
-
* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
path anyway.
-* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
-
-* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
-
-* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
+* refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* sd-bus:
+ - EBADSLT handling
- GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
- kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
- - make dsrt happy, and change userspace header for kdbus to yyyyuta{tv}v
- port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
- kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
- see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
- path escaping
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
- test bloom filter generation indexes
- - bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
- handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
- cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
- 253 messages)
- kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
- kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
* sd-event
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
- document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
-
-* 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
+ - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
+ - generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
+ - maybe add support for inotify events
* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
-* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
-
-* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
+* remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* 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
* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
-* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
-
-* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
-
* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
- logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
- - logind: allow users to kill or lock their own sessions
- expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
- given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
(we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
- expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
+ - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
+ - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
+ the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
+ make assumptions about their slice anymore.
+ - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
+ relogins
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
- fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
- - journal: reuse XZ context
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
- journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
"dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
- 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
- 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.
lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
the most common operations.
+ - journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
+ commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
+ - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
+ - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
+ - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
+ services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
+ in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
+ invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
+ if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
+ operation.
+ - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
+ written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
+ - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
+ binary logs data
+ - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
+ - log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
+ - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
+ them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
+ Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
+ - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
* document:
- document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
- - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
- 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
* systemctl:
- - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
- add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
- Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
- "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
- systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
- 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"
- better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
- - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+ - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
* unit install:
- "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
(i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
- - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
* timer units:
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
o DST changes
- - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
- - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
- - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we will not support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
-* 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().
-
-* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
-* fedup: do not delete initrd on switch-root
-* fedup: generator
-
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
-* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
- waiting for the timeout
+* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
* nspawn:
- - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
+ - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
+ with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
+ systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
+ from the kernel's logs.
+ - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
+ --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
+ interface be missing
+ - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
+ automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
+ together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
+ - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
+ https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
+ - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
+ PID 1...
+ - should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
+ - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
+ running, remove them when shut down.
+ - Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
+ directory
+ - maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
+ is used
+
+* dissect
+ - refuse mounting over a mount point
+ - automatically discover .roothash files in dissect, similarly to nspawn
+
+* machined:
+ - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
+ removed or added to an existing machine
+ - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
+ difference host, via ssh
+ - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
+ "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
+ - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
+ question
+ - "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
+ machine-info data (including deployment level)
+ - "machinectl history"
+ - "machinectl diff"
+ - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
+ shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
+
+* importd:
+ - generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it

-* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
- currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
- cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
- being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it

-* automount: implement expire:
- - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
- - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
- - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
- - blocking, needs a thread
- - run until -EAGAIN
- - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
- - call umount

-* introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
-
* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
-* default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
-
-* save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
+* coredump:
+ - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format

- in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
+ - replace F with f+.
+ - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
+ - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
+ should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
+ calls follow symlinks.
* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
-* add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
-
* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user

-* bootchart:
- - plot per-process IO utilization
- - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
- - document initcall_debug
- - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
+* pid1:
+ - .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
+ - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
