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 * All log messages generated from socket.c, service.c, ... should
23 include _SYSTEMD_UNIT= fields so that "systemctl status" can show
24 them along with the unit
26 * define a message ID for "overmounting non-empty directory".
28 * use polkit "imply" for binding hostname actions together
30 * journal: when waiting for journal additions always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
32 * man page for catalog APIs
34 * add catalog api for querying the raw template rather then replaced text
36 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
38 * Add ConditionBatteryPower= or ConditionACPower=? (but definitely not both)
40 * add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
42 * maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
44 * fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
46 * declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
48 * sd-journal: don't return fields > a threshold by default
49 * journal: reuse XZ context
50 * sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
52 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
54 * timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
55 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
58 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
60 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
61 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
62 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
63 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
64 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
65 user did not request anything like it.
67 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
69 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
72 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
73 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
74 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
75 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
77 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
79 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
81 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
82 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
83 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
84 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
86 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
88 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
90 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
92 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
94 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
96 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
97 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
99 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
101 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
103 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
105 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
107 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
109 * 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
111 * 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.
113 * 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().
115 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
116 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
119 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
121 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
123 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
125 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
127 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existent, especially for foreign .mount units
129 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
131 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
133 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
135 * document unit_name_mangle()
137 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
139 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
141 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
143 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
145 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
147 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
149 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
150 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
151 - superset of tmpfiles model
152 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
153 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
154 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
156 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
157 waiting for the timeout
159 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
161 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
163 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
165 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
167 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
169 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
171 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
173 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
175 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
177 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
179 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
181 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
183 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
184 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
186 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
188 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
190 * instantiated [Install] for target units
191 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
193 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
195 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
196 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
198 * make nspawn work without terminal
200 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
201 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
203 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
205 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
207 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
209 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
211 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
213 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
215 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
217 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
219 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
221 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
223 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
225 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
227 * system-wide seccomp filter
229 * ability to pass fds into systemd
231 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
233 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
235 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
237 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
239 * 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.
241 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
243 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
245 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
247 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
249 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
250 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
251 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
252 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
253 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
254 but much rather a disconnect on success.
256 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
258 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
260 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
262 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
264 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
266 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
268 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
270 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
272 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
274 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
276 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
278 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
280 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
282 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
284 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
286 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
288 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
290 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
292 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
294 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
296 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
297 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
299 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
304 * introduce Type=pid-file
306 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
308 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
310 * efi: honor language efi variables for default language selection
312 * efi: honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
314 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
315 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
316 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
317 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
318 '/' is the separator for the device path list
319 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
321 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
322 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
324 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
326 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
327 (only set if the menu was active)
329 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
331 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
333 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
335 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
337 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
339 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
341 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
342 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
343 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
345 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
347 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
348 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
350 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
352 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
354 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
356 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
358 * automount: implement expire
360 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
361 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
363 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
364 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
366 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
368 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
370 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
372 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
374 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
376 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
378 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
380 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
382 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
386 * udev systemd unify:

388 - utf8 validator code
390 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
392 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
394 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
396 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
398 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
400 * 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
402 * support container_ttys=
404 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
406 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
408 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
410 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
412 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
414 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
416 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
418 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
420 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
422 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
424 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
426 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
428 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
430 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
432 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server

442 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
444 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
446 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
448 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
450 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
452 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
453 needs to be auto-respawned?
455 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
457 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
459 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
461 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
463 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
465 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
467 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
469 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
470 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
472 * move PAM code into its own binary
474 * logind: spawn user@..service on login

479 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
481 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
483 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
485 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
487 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
489 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
491 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
492 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
493 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
495 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
496 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
498 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
500 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
502 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
504 * add support for /bin/mount -s
506 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
508 * write blog stories about:

510 - enabling dbus services
512 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
514 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
515 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
516 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
518 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
519 - the journal HTTP iface
520 - non-cgroup resource management
522 * allow port=0 in .socket units
524 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
526 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
528 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
530 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
532 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
534 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
536 * Support --test based on current system state
538 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
540 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
542 * configurable jitter for timer events
544 * timer events with system resume
546 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
548 * calendar time support in timer:
549 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
551 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
553 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
554 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
558 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
559 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)

564 * io priority during initialization
566 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
568 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
570 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
576 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
577 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
578 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
579 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
580 - always pass cred data along each message
582 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
584 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
586 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
588 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
590 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
591 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
592 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
593 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
596 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
600 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
602 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
604 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
606 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
610 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
612 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
614 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
616 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
618 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
620 * insserv support (definitely: remove)
