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 * check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
24 * Addd a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
26 * "systemctl is-failed" to join "systemctl is-active" and "systemctl is-enabled".
28 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
30 * All log messages generated from socket.c, service.c, ... should
31 include _SYSTEMD_UNIT= fields so that "systemctl status" can show
32 them along with the unit
34 * define a message ID for "overmounting non-empty directory".
36 * use polkit "imply" for binding hostname actions together
38 * journal: when waiting for journal additions always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
40 * man page for catalog APIs
42 * add catalog api for querying the raw template rather then replaced text
44 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
46 * Add ConditionBatteryPower= or ConditionACPower=? (but definitely not both)
48 * add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
50 * maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
52 * fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
54 * declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
56 * sd-journal: don't return fields > a threshold by default
57 * journal: reuse XZ context
58 * sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
60 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
62 * timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
63 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
66 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
68 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
69 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
70 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
71 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
72 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
73 user did not request anything like it.
75 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
77 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
80 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
81 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
82 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
83 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
85 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
87 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
89 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
90 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
91 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
92 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
94 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
96 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
98 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
100 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
102 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
104 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
105 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
107 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
109 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
111 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
113 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
115 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
117 * 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
119 * 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.
121 * 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().
123 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
124 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
127 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
129 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
131 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
133 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
135 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existent, especially for foreign .mount units
137 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
139 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
141 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
143 * document unit_name_mangle()
145 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
147 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
149 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
151 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
153 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
155 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
157 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
158 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
159 - superset of tmpfiles model
160 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
161 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
162 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
164 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
165 waiting for the timeout
167 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
169 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
171 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
173 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
175 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
177 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
179 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
181 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
183 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
185 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
187 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
189 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
191 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
192 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
194 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
196 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
198 * instantiated [Install] for target units
199 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
201 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
203 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
204 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
206 * make nspawn work without terminal
208 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
209 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
211 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
213 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
215 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
217 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
219 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
221 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
223 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
225 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
227 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
229 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
231 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
233 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
235 * system-wide seccomp filter
237 * ability to pass fds into systemd
239 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
241 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
243 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
245 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
247 * 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.
249 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
251 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
253 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
255 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
257 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
258 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
259 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
260 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
261 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
262 but much rather a disconnect on success.
264 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
266 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
268 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
270 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
272 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
274 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
276 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
278 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
280 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
282 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
284 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
286 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
288 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
290 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
292 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
294 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
296 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
298 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
300 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
302 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
304 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
305 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
307 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
312 * introduce Type=pid-file
314 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
316 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
318 * efi: honor language efi variables for default language selection
320 * efi: honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
322 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
323 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
324 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
325 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
326 '/' is the separator for the device path list
327 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
329 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
330 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
332 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
334 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
335 (only set if the menu was active)
337 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
339 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
341 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
343 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
345 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
347 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
349 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
350 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
351 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
353 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
355 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
356 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
358 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
360 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
362 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
364 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
366 * automount: implement expire
368 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
369 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
371 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
372 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
374 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
376 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
378 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
380 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
382 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
384 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
386 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
388 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
390 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
394 * udev systemd unify:

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

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

487 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
489 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
491 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
493 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
495 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
497 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
499 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
500 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
501 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
503 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
504 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
506 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
508 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
510 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
512 * add support for /bin/mount -s
514 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
516 * write blog stories about:
517 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
518 - enabling dbus services
520 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
522 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
523 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
524 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
526 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
527 - the journal HTTP iface
528 - non-cgroup resource management
529 - refreshed, longer missions statement
531 * allow port=0 in .socket units
533 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
535 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
537 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
539 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
541 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
543 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
545 * Support --test based on current system state
547 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
549 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
551 * configurable jitter for timer events
553 * timer events with system resume
555 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
557 * calendar time support in timer:
558 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
560 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
562 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
563 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
567 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
568 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
571 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
573 * io priority during initialization
575 * systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
577 * add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
579 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
585 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
586 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
587 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
588 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
589 - always pass cred data along each message
591 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
593 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
595 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
597 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
599 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
600 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
601 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
602 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
605 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
609 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
611 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
613 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
615 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
619 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
621 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
623 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
625 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
627 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
629 * insserv support (definitely: remove)
