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 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existant, especially for foreign .mount units
24 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
26 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
28 * journald: don't make SystemMinFileSize= configurable
30 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
32 * introduce hybrid-sleep.target
34 * _SOURCE_MONOTONIC_TIMESTAMP entries from the kernel seem to be off by 1000000
36 * document unit_name_mangle()
38 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
40 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
42 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
44 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
46 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
48 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
50 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
51 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
52 - superset of tmpfiles model
53 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
54 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
55 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
57 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
58 waiting for the timeout
60 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
62 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
64 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
66 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
68 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
70 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
72 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
74 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
76 * nspawn: reset all aux groups
78 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
80 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
82 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
84 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
85 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
87 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
89 * allow users from "wheel" to start/stop services
91 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
93 * instantiated [Install] for target units
94 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
96 * support *static* (/run) hibernate inhibitors. All rpm -i actions should completely prevent any
97 sort of hibernate action until the next reboot. If the kernel or any other base tool is replaced
98 by rpm, the resume path might fail, the for resume needed kernel might even be uninstalled, and
99 the whole situation leads directly to data loss.
101 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
103 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
104 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
106 * make nspawn work without terminal
108 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
109 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
111 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
113 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
115 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
117 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
119 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
121 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
123 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
125 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
127 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
129 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
131 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
133 * json: properly serialize multiple fields with the same name per entry
135 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
137 * document in wiki json serialization
139 * system-wide seccomp filter
141 * ability to pass fds into systemd
143 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
145 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than than nspawn
147 * currently system services appear not to generate core dumps...
149 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
151 * 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
153 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
155 * 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.
157 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
159 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
161 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
163 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
165 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
166 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
167 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
168 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
169 when done. That means clients don't get a succesful method reply,
170 but much rather a disconnect on success.
172 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
174 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
176 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
178 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
180 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
182 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
184 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
186 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
188 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
190 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
192 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
194 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
196 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
198 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
200 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
202 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
204 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
206 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
208 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
210 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
212 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
213 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
215 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
220 * introduce Type=pid-file
222 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
224 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
226 * efi: honour language efi variables for default language selection
228 * efi: honour timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
230 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
231 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
232 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
233 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
234 '/' is the separator for the device path list
235 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
237 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
238 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
240 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
242 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
243 (only set if the menu was active)
245 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
247 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
249 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
251 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
253 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
255 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
257 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
258 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
259 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
261 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
263 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
264 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
266 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
268 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
270 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
272 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
274 * automount: implement expire
276 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
277 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
279 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
280 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
282 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
284 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
286 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
288 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
290 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
292 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
294 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
296 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA
298 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
302 * udev systemd unify:
303 - strpcpy(), strpcpyl(), strscpy(), strscpyl()
304 - utf8 validator code
305 - now() vs. now_usec()
307 * udev: remove network interface renaming, sleep and retry logic, we do
308 no support renaming of interfaces in the conflicting kernel
311 * udev: find a way to tell udev to not cancel firmware requests when running in initramfs
313 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
315 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
317 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
319 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
321 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
323 * 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
325 * support container_ttys=
327 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
329 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
331 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
333 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
335 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
337 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the componets would fit
339 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
341 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
343 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
345 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
347 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
349 * dbus: move dbus to early boot

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

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

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