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 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
24 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
26 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
28 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
29 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
31 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
33 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
35 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
37 * instantiated [Install] for target units
38 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
40 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
41 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
42 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
43 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
45 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
47 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
48 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
50 * make nspawn work without terminal
52 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
53 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
55 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
57 * does vasprintf advance the struct vaargs? http://pastie.org/pastes/4712773/text
59 * do shutdown audit/utmp msgs inside of PID 1, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
61 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
63 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
65 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
67 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
69 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
71 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
73 * when writing journal entries order field items by their address to improve speed on rotating media
75 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
77 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
79 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
81 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
85 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
87 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
89 * document in wiki json serialization
91 * system-wide seccomp filter
93 * ability to pass fds into systemd
95 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
97 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
99 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
101 * wall messages for shutdown should move to logind
103 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
105 * 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
107 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
109 * 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.
111 * maybe make systemd-detect-virt suid? or use fscaps?
113 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
115 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
117 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
119 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
121 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
122 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
123 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
124 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
125 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
126 but much rather a disconnect on success.
128 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
130 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
132 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
134 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
136 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
138 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
140 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
142 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
144 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
146 * 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.
148 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
150 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
152 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
154 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
156 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
158 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
160 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
162 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
164 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
166 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
168 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
170 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
171 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
173 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
178 * introduce Type=pid-file
180 * systemctl list-unit-files appears to be broken for symlinked units in /usr/lib
182 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
184 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
186 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
188 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
190 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
191 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
192 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
193 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
194 '/' is the separator for the device path list
195 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
197 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
198 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
200 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
202 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data

211 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
213 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
215 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
217 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
219 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
220 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
221 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
223 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
225 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
226 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
228 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
230 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
232 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
234 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
236 * automount: implement expire
238 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
239 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
241 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
242 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
244 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)

252 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
254 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
256 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
258 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
260 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
264 * udev systemd unify:
265 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
266 - utf8 validator code
267 - now() vs. now_usec()
269 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
270 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
273 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
275 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
277 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
279 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
281 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
283 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
285 * 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
287 * support container_ttys=
289 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
291 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
293 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
295 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
297 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
299 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
301 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
303 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
305 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
307 * Possibly, detect whether SysV init scripts can do reloading by looking for "echo Usage:" lines
309 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
311 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
313 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
315 * journald: reuse XZ context
317 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
319 * journal: API for looking for retrieving "all values of this field"
321 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
323 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
325 * journal: message catalog
327 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
329 * systemctl journal command

335 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
337 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
339 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
341 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
343 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
345 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
347 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
349 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
350 needs to be auto-respawned?
352 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
354 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
356 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
358 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
360 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
362 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
364 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
366 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
367 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
369 * move PAM code into its own binary
371 * warn if the user stops a service but not its associated socket
373 * logind: spawn user@..service on login

377 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
378 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
380 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
382 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
384 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
386 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
388 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
390 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
391 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
392 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
394 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
395 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
397 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
399 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
401 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
403 * add support for /bin/mount -s
405 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
407 * write blog stories about:
408 - enabling dbus services
410 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
412 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
413 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
414 - resource control in systemd

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