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 * 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().
24 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
25 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
28 * journalctl/gatewayd: GELF output
30 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
32 * journal: When interleaving journal files cache binary search results so that
33 we can cheaply continue where we left off.
35 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
37 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
39 * "See journal for details" messages should include "journalctl -u" command line
41 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
43 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
45 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
47 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
49 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
51 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
53 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
55 * document unit_name_mangle()
57 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
59 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
61 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
63 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
65 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
67 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
69 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
70 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
71 - superset of tmpfiles model
72 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
73 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
74 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
76 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
77 waiting for the timeout
79 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
81 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
83 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
85 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
87 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
89 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
91 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
93 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
95 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
97 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
99 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
101 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
103 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
104 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
106 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
108 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
110 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
112 * instantiated [Install] for target units
113 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
115 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
116 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
117 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
118 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
120 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
122 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
123 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
125 * make nspawn work without terminal
127 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
128 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
130 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
132 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
134 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
136 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
138 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
140 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
142 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
144 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
146 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
148 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
150 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
152 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
154 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
156 * document in wiki json serialization
158 * system-wide seccomp filter
160 * ability to pass fds into systemd
162 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups

170 * 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
172 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
174 * 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.
176 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
178 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
180 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
182 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
184 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
185 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
186 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
187 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
188 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
189 but much rather a disconnect on success.
191 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
193 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
195 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
197 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
199 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
201 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
203 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
205 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
207 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
209 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
211 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
213 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
215 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
217 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
219 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
221 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
223 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
225 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
227 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
229 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
231 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
232 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
234 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
239 * introduce Type=pid-file
241 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
243 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
245 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
247 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
249 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
250 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
251 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
252 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
253 '/' is the separator for the device path list
254 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
256 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
257 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
259 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
261 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
262 (only set if the menu was active)
264 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
266 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
268 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
270 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
272 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
274 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
276 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
277 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
278 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
280 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
282 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
283 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
285 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
287 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
289 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
291 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
293 * automount: implement expire
295 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
296 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
298 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
299 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
301 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
303 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
305 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
307 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
309 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
311 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
313 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
315 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
317 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
321 * udev systemd unify:
322 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
323 - utf8 validator code
324 - now() vs. now_usec()
326 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
327 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
330 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
332 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
334 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
336 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
338 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
340 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
342 * 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
344 * support container_ttys=
346 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
348 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
350 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
352 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
354 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
356 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
358 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
360 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
362 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
364 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
366 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
368 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

384 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
386 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
388 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
390 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
392 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
394 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
396 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
398 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
399 needs to be auto-respawned?
401 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
403 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
405 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
407 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
409 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
411 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
413 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
415 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
416 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
418 * move PAM code into its own binary
420 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
422 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
424 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
425 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
427 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
429 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
431 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
433 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
435 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
437 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
438 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
439 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
441 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
442 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
444 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
446 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
448 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
450 * add support for /bin/mount -s
452 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
454 * write blog stories about:
455 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
456 - enabling dbus services
458 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
460 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
461 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
462 - resource control in systemd
463 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
466 * allow port=0 in .socket units
468 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
470 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
472 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
474 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
476 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
478 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
480 * Support --test based on current system state
482 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
484 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
486 * configurable jitter for timer events
488 * timer events with system resume
490 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
492 * calendar time support in timer:
493 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
495 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
497 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
498 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
502 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

520 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
521 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
522 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
523 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
524 - always pass cred data along each message
526 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
528 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
530 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
532 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
534 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
535 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
536 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
537 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
540 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
544 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
546 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
548 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
550 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
554 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
556 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
558 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
560 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
562 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
