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 * "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
23 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
24 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
26 * man: link up systemd.directives better, so that people actually know about it
28 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
29 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
31 * add "loginctl unlock-sessions" as counterpart for "loginctl lock-sessions"
33 * extend cgroup attr dbus calls to optionally make changes persistent, and retrieve current kernel values
35 * support high-level cgroup setting syntax in systemctl. Example: "systemctl set-cgroup-attr MemoryLimit 5K"
37 * add a man page "systemdall" that lists all of systemd's man pages, inspired by zsh's "zshall" page
39 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
41 * kernel cmdline switch to turn off predictable network interface names
43 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
45 * udev: remove all (misguided from day 1) userspace firmware_class handling
47 * logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
49 * service: when killing a service with SIGKILL always kill all processes, even if for SIGTERM we only killed the main process
51 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
53 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
55 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
57 * journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
58 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
59 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
61 * journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
63 * check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
65 * Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
67 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
69 * journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
71 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
73 * add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
75 * maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
77 * fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
79 * declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
81 * journal: reuse XZ context
83 * sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
85 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
87 * timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
88 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
91 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
93 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
94 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
95 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
96 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
97 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
98 user did not request anything like it.
100 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
102 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
105 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
106 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
107 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
108 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
110 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
112 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
114 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
115 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
116 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
117 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
119 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
121 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
123 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
125 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
127 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
128 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
130 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
132 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
134 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
136 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
138 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
140 * 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
142 * 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.
144 * 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().
146 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
147 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
150 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
152 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
154 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
156 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
158 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
160 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
162 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
164 * document unit_name_mangle()
166 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
168 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
170 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
172 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
174 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
176 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
178 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
179 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
180 - superset of tmpfiles model
181 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
182 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
183 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
185 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
186 waiting for the timeout
188 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
190 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
192 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
194 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
196 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
198 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
200 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
202 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
204 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
206 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
208 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
210 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
211 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
213 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
215 * instantiated [Install] for target units
216 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
218 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
220 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
221 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
223 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
224 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
226 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
228 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
230 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
231 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
233 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
235 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
237 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
239 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
241 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
243 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
245 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
247 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
249 * system-wide seccomp filter
251 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
253 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
255 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
257 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
259 * 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.
261 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
263 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
265 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
267 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
269 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
270 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
271 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
272 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
273 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
274 but much rather a disconnect on success.
276 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
278 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
280 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
282 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
284 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
286 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
288 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
290 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
292 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
294 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
296 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
298 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
300 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
302 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
304 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
306 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
308 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
310 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
312 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
314 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
316 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
318 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
319 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
321 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
326 * introduce Type=pid-file
328 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
330 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
332 * efi: honor language efi variables for default language selection
334 * efi: honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
336 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
337 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
338 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
339 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
340 '/' is the separator for the device path list
341 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
343 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
344 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
346 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
348 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
349 (only set if the menu was active)
351 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
353 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
355 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
357 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
359 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
361 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
363 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
364 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
366 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
368 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
369 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
371 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
373 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
375 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
377 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
379 * automount: implement expire
381 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
383 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
385 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz

389 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
391 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
393 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
395 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
399 * udev systemd unify:
400 - utf8 validator code
402 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
404 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
406 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
408 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
410 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
412 * 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
414 * support container_ttys=
416 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
418 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
420 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
422 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
424 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
426 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
428 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
430 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
432 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
434 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
436 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
438 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
440 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
442 * journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
444 * journal: local deserializer of export mode, http server
446 * document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
448 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
450 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
452 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
454 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
456 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
458 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
460 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
462 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
464 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
465 needs to be auto-respawned?
467 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
469 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
471 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
473 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
475 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
477 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
479 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
481 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
482 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
484 * move PAM code into its own binary
486 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
488 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
490 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
491 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
493 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
495 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
497 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
499 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
501 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
502 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
503 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
505 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
506 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
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 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
559 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
560 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
564 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)

583 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
584 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
585 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
586 - always pass cred data along each message
588 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
590 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
592 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
594 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
596 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
597 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
598 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
599 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
602 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
606 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
608 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
610 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
612 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
616 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
618 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
620 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
622 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
624 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
