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 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
24 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
26 * instantiated [Install] for target units
27 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
29 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
30 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
31 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
32 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
34 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
36 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
37 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
39 * make nspawn work without terminal
41 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
42 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
44 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
46 * does vasprintf advance the struct vaargs? http://pastie.org/pastes/4712773/text
48 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
50 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
52 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
54 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
56 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
58 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
60 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
62 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
64 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
66 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
68 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
70 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
74 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
76 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
78 * document in wiki json serialization
80 * system-wide seccomp filter
82 * ability to pass fds into systemd
84 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
86 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
88 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
90 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
92 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
94 * 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
96 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
98 * 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.
100 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
102 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
104 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
106 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
108 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
110 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
111 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
112 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
113 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
114 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
115 but much rather a disconnect on success.
117 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
119 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
121 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
123 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
125 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
127 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
129 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
131 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
133 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
135 * 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.
137 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
139 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
141 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
143 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
145 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
147 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
149 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
151 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
153 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
155 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
157 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
159 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
160 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
162 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
167 * introduce Type=pid-file
169 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
171 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
173 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
175 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
177 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
179 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
180 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
181 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
182 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
183 '/' is the separator for the device path list
184 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
186 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
187 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
189 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
191 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data

200 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
202 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
204 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
206 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
208 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
209 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
210 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
212 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
214 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
215 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
217 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
219 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
221 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
223 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
225 * automount: implement expire
227 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
228 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
230 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
231 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
233 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
235 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
237 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
239 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
241 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
243 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
245 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
247 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
249 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
253 * udev systemd unify:
254 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
255 - utf8 validator code
256 - now() vs. now_usec()
258 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
259 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
262 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
264 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
266 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
268 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
270 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
272 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
274 * 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
276 * support container_ttys=
278 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
280 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
282 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
284 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
286 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
288 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
290 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
292 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
294 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
296 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
298 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
300 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
302 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
304 * journald: reuse XZ context
306 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
308 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
310 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
312 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
314 * journal: message catalog
316 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
318 * systemctl journal command
320 * journalctl: --cursor support
322 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
324 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
326 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
328 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
330 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
332 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
334 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
336 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
338 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
339 needs to be auto-respawned?
341 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
343 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
345 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
347 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
349 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
351 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
353 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
355 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
356 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
358 * move PAM code into its own binary
360 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
362 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
364 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
366 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
367 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
369 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
371 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
373 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
375 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
377 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
379 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
380 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
381 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
383 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
384 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
386 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
388 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
390 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
392 * add support for /bin/mount -s
394 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
396 * write blog stories about:
397 - enabling dbus services
399 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
401 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
402 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
403 - resource control in systemd
405 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
408 * allow port=0 in .socket units

412 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
414 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
416 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
418 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
420 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
422 * Support --test based on current system state
424 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
426 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
428 * configurable jitter for timer events
430 * timer events with system resume
432 * timer events on calendar time:
433 maybe use this time syntax? http://ohse.de/uwe/uschedule/uschedule.html
435 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
437 * calendar time support in timer, iCalendar semantics for the timer stuff (RFC2445)
438 http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=99ee5315dac6211e972fa3f23bcc9a0343ff58c4
440 * implicitly import "defaults" settings file into all types
442 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
444 * read config fragments for all units from /lib/systemd/system/foobar.service.d/ to override/extend specific settings
446 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
447 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
451 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
452 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
455 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
457 * io priority during initialization
459 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
461 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
463 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
469 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
470 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
471 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
472 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
473 - always pass cred data along each message
475 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
477 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
479 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
481 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
483 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
484 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
485 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
486 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
489 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
493 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
495 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
497 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
499 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
503 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
505 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
507 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
509 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
511 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
