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 * journal: When interleaving journal files cache binary search results so that
23 we can cheaply continue where we left off.
25 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
27 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
29 * "See journal for details" messages should include "journalctl -u" command line
31 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
33 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
35 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
37 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
39 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
41 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
43 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
45 * document unit_name_mangle()
47 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
49 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
51 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
53 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
55 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
57 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
59 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
60 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
61 - superset of tmpfiles model
62 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
63 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
64 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
66 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
67 waiting for the timeout
69 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
71 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
73 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
75 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
77 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
79 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
81 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
83 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
85 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
87 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
89 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
91 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
93 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
94 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
96 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
98 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
100 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
102 * instantiated [Install] for target units
103 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
105 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
106 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
107 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
108 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
110 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
112 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
113 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
115 * make nspawn work without terminal
117 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
118 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
120 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
122 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
124 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
126 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
128 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
130 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
132 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
134 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
136 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
138 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
140 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
142 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
144 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
146 * document in wiki json serialization
148 * system-wide seccomp filter
150 * ability to pass fds into systemd
152 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
154 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
156 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
158 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
160 * 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
162 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
164 * 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.
166 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
168 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
170 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
172 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
174 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
175 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
176 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
177 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
178 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
179 but much rather a disconnect on success.
181 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
183 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
185 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
187 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
189 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
191 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
193 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
195 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
197 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
199 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
201 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
203 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
205 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
207 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
209 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
211 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
213 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
215 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
217 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
219 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
221 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
222 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
224 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
229 * introduce Type=pid-file
231 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
233 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
235 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
237 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
239 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
240 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
241 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
242 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
243 '/' is the separator for the device path list
244 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
246 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
247 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
249 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
251 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
252 (only set if the menu was active)
254 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
256 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
258 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
260 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
262 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
264 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
266 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
267 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
268 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
270 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
272 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
273 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
275 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
277 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
279 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
281 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
283 * automount: implement expire
285 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
286 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
288 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
289 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
291 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
293 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
295 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
297 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
299 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
301 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
303 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
305 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
307 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
311 * udev systemd unify:
312 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
313 - utf8 validator code
314 - now() vs. now_usec()
316 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
317 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
320 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
322 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
324 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
326 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
328 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
330 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
332 * 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
334 * support container_ttys=
336 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
338 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
340 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
342 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
344 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
346 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
348 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
350 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
352 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
354 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
356 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id

374 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
376 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
378 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
380 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
382 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
384 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
386 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
388 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
389 needs to be auto-respawned?
391 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
393 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
395 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
397 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
399 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
401 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
403 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
405 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
406 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
408 * move PAM code into its own binary
410 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
412 * logind: non-local X11 server handling

415 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
417 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
419 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
421 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
423 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
425 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
427 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
428 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
429 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
431 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
432 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
434 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
436 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
438 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
440 * add support for /bin/mount -s
442 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
444 * write blog stories about:
445 - enabling dbus services
447 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
449 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
450 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
451 - resource control in systemd
452 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
455 * allow port=0 in .socket units
457 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
459 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
461 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
463 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
465 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
467 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
469 * Support --test based on current system state
471 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
473 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
475 * configurable jitter for timer events
477 * timer events with system resume
479 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
481 * calendar time support in timer:
482 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
484 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
486 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
487 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
491 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

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