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 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo"
24 * drop header/footer from systemctl --failed output if there are no entries shown, print nice message instead, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
26 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
28 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
30 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
32 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
34 * journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
36 * journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
38 * 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().
40 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
41 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
44 * journalctl/gatewayd: GELF output
46 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
48 * journal: When interleaving journal files cache binary search results so that
49 we can cheaply continue where we left off.
51 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
53 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
55 * "See journal for details" messages should include "journalctl -u" command line
57 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
59 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
61 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
63 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
65 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
67 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
69 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
71 * document unit_name_mangle()
73 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
75 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
77 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
79 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
81 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
83 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
85 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
86 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
87 - superset of tmpfiles model
88 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
89 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
90 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
92 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
93 waiting for the timeout
95 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
97 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
99 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
101 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
103 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
105 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
107 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
109 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
111 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
113 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
115 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
117 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
119 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
120 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
122 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
124 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
126 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
128 * instantiated [Install] for target units
129 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
131 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
132 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
133 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
134 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
136 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
138 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
139 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
141 * make nspawn work without terminal
143 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
144 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
146 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
148 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
150 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
152 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
154 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
156 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
158 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
160 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
162 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
164 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
166 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
168 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
170 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
172 * document in wiki json serialization
174 * system-wide seccomp filter
176 * ability to pass fds into systemd
178 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
180 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
182 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
184 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
186 * 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
188 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
190 * 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.
192 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
194 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
196 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
198 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
200 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
201 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
202 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
203 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
204 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
205 but much rather a disconnect on success.
207 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
209 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
211 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
213 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
215 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
217 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
219 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
221 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
223 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
225 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
227 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
229 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
231 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
233 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
235 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
237 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
239 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
241 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
243 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
245 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
247 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
248 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
250 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
255 * introduce Type=pid-file
257 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
259 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
261 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
263 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
265 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
266 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
267 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
268 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
269 '/' is the separator for the device path list
270 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
272 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
273 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
275 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
277 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
278 (only set if the menu was active)
280 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
282 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
284 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
286 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
288 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
290 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
292 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
293 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
294 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
296 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
298 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
299 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
301 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
303 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
305 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
307 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
309 * automount: implement expire
311 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
312 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
314 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
315 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
317 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
319 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
321 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
323 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
325 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
327 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
329 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
331 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
333 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
337 * udev systemd unify:
338 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
339 - utf8 validator code
340 - now() vs. now_usec()
342 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
343 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
346 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
348 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
350 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
352 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
354 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
356 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
358 * 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
360 * support container_ttys=
362 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
364 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
366 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
368 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
370 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
372 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
374 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
376 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
378 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
380 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
382 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
384 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

388 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
390 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

400 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
402 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
404 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
406 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
408 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
410 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
412 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
414 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
415 needs to be auto-respawned?
417 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
419 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
421 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
423 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
425 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
427 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
429 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
431 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
432 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
434 * move PAM code into its own binary
436 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
438 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
440 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
441 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
443 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
445 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
447 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
449 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
451 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
453 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
454 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
455 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
457 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
458 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
460 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
462 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
464 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
466 * add support for /bin/mount -s
468 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
470 * write blog stories about:
471 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
472 - enabling dbus services
474 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
476 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
477 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
478 - resource control in systemd
479 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
481 - journalctl advanced usage
482 - how to make use of the journal submission APIs
483 - same for journal browsing
484 - the journal HTTP iface
486 * allow port=0 in .socket units
488 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
490 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
492 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
494 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
496 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
498 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
500 * Support --test based on current system state
502 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
504 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
506 * configurable jitter for timer events
508 * timer events with system resume
510 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
512 * calendar time support in timer:
513 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
515 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
517 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
518 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
522 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
523 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
526 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
528 * io priority during initialization
530 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
532 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
534 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
540 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
541 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
542 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
543 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
544 - always pass cred data along each message
546 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
548 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
550 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
552 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
554 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
555 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
556 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
557 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
560 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
564 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
566 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
568 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
570 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
574 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
576 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
578 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
580 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
582 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
