2 * mount efivars only if /sys/firmware/efi/ exists
3 (add *condition callback to API mounts array and check for directory)
5 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
7 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
9 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
11 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
12 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
13 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
15 * make polkit checks async
17 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
25 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various
28 * timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
29 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
32 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
34 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
35 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
36 - DST changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
37 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
38 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliale time source is active or the
39 user did not request anything like it.
41 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
43 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
46 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
47 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
48 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
49 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
51 * sd_journal_enumerate_data() implies XZ-decoding compressed field, this sucks hard
53 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
55 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
57 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
58 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
59 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
60 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
62 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
64 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
66 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
68 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
70 * link up selected blog stories from man pages?
72 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
73 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
75 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
77 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
79 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
81 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
83 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
85 * 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
87 * 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.
89 * 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().
91 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
92 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
95 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
97 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
99 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
101 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
103 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
105 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
107 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
109 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
111 * document unit_name_mangle()
113 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
115 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
117 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
119 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
121 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
123 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
125 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
126 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
127 - superset of tmpfiles model
128 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
129 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
130 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
132 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
133 waiting for the timeout
135 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
137 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
139 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
141 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
143 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
145 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
147 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
149 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
151 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
153 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
155 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
157 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
159 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
160 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
162 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
164 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
166 * instantiated [Install] for target units
167 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
169 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
171 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
172 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
174 * make nspawn work without terminal
176 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
177 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
179 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
181 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
183 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
185 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
187 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
189 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
191 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
193 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
195 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
197 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
199 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
201 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
203 * system-wide seccomp filter
205 * ability to pass fds into systemd
207 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
209 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
211 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
213 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
215 * 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.
217 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
219 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
221 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
223 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
225 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
226 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
227 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
228 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
229 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
230 but much rather a disconnect on success.
232 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
234 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
236 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
238 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
240 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
242 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
244 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
246 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
248 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
250 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
252 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
254 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
256 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
258 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
260 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
262 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
264 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
266 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
268 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
270 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
272 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
273 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
275 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
280 * introduce Type=pid-file
282 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
284 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
286 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
288 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
290 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
291 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
292 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
293 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
294 '/' is the separator for the device path list
295 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
297 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
298 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
300 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
302 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
303 (only set if the menu was active)
305 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
307 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
309 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
311 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
313 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
315 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
317 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
318 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
319 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
321 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
323 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
324 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
326 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
328 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
330 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
332 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
334 * automount: implement expire
336 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
337 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
339 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
340 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
342 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
344 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
346 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
348 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
350 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
352 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
354 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
356 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
358 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
362 * udev systemd unify:
363 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
364 - utf8 validator code
365 - now() vs. now_usec()
367 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
369 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
371 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
373 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
375 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
377 * 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
379 * support container_ttys=
381 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
383 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
385 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
387 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
389 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
391 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
393 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
395 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
397 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
399 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
401 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
403 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
405 * journald: reuse XZ context
407 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
409 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header

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