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 * add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
24 * journalctl/gatewayd: GELF output
26 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
28 * journal: When interleaving journal files cache binary search results so that
29 we can cheaply continue where we left off.
31 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
33 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
35 * "See journal for details" messages should include "journalctl -u" command line
37 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
39 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
41 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
43 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
45 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
47 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
49 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
51 * document unit_name_mangle()
53 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
55 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
57 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
59 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
61 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
63 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
65 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
66 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
67 - superset of tmpfiles model
68 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
69 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
70 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
72 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
73 waiting for the timeout
75 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
77 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
79 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
81 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
83 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
85 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
87 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
89 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
91 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
93 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
95 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
97 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
99 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
100 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
102 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
104 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
106 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
108 * instantiated [Install] for target units
109 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
111 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
112 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
113 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
114 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
116 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
118 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
119 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
121 * make nspawn work without terminal
123 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
124 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
126 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
128 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
130 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
132 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
134 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
136 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
138 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
140 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
142 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
144 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
146 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
148 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
150 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
152 * document in wiki json serialization
154 * system-wide seccomp filter
156 * ability to pass fds into systemd
158 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups

166 * 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
168 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
170 * 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.
172 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
174 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
176 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
178 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
180 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
181 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
182 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
183 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
184 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
185 but much rather a disconnect on success.
187 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
189 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
191 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
193 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
195 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
197 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
199 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
201 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
203 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
205 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
207 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
209 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
211 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
213 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
215 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
217 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
219 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
221 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
223 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
225 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
227 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
228 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
230 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
235 * introduce Type=pid-file
237 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
239 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
241 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
243 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
245 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
246 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
247 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
248 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
249 '/' is the separator for the device path list
250 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
252 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
253 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
255 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
257 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
258 (only set if the menu was active)
260 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
262 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
264 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
266 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
268 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
270 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
272 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
273 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
274 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
276 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
278 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
279 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
281 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
283 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
285 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
287 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
289 * automount: implement expire
291 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
292 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
294 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
295 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
297 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
299 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
301 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
303 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
305 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
307 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
309 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
311 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
313 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
317 * udev systemd unify:
318 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
319 - utf8 validator code
320 - now() vs. now_usec()
322 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
323 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
326 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
328 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
330 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
332 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
334 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
336 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
338 * 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
340 * support container_ttys=
342 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
344 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
346 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
348 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
350 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
352 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
354 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
356 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
358 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
360 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
362 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
364 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

380 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
382 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
384 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
386 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
388 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
390 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
392 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
394 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
395 needs to be auto-respawned?
397 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
399 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
401 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
403 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
405 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
407 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
409 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
411 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
412 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
414 * move PAM code into its own binary
416 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
418 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
420 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
421 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
423 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
425 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
427 * readahead: check whether a btrfs volume includes ssd by checking mount flag "ssd"
429 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
431 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
433 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
434 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
435 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
437 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
438 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
440 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
442 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
444 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
446 * add support for /bin/mount -s
448 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
450 * write blog stories about:
451 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
452 - enabling dbus services
454 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
456 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
457 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
458 - resource control in systemd
459 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
462 * allow port=0 in .socket units
464 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
466 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
468 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
470 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
472 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
474 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
476 * Support --test based on current system state
478 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
480 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
482 * configurable jitter for timer events
484 * timer events with system resume
486 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
488 * calendar time support in timer:
489 https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1bAMyFAjWLpzR3GTDYdgj5FWRMxoZiWw5zmUHEtvdHKA
491 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
493 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
494 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
498 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

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