-CGroup Rework Completion:
-
-* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
-
-* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
-
-* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
+* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
Features:
-* general: get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
+* cgroups:
+ - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
+ - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
+ - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
+ - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
+ - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
+ - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
+ - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
+ the hierarchies of child processes
-* add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
+* transient units:
+ - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
+ - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
+ - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
-* sd-bus: synthesized messages should get serial number (uint32_t) -1
+* switch to SipHash for hashmaps/sets?
-* sd-event: allow multiple signal handlers per signal
+* general: get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
-* calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
-
-* sd-bus: when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
-
-* sd-bus: enforce signatures on response messages

-
-* sd-bus: introduce sd_bus_creds object and attach it to messages as well as allow querying it for names
-
-* sd-bus: support "const" properties as flag
-
-* sd-event: when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event
- source, but do not return anything up to the event loop
- caller. Instead add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take
- retval. This way errors rippling upwards are the option, not the
- default
-
-* sd-event: child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
-
-* sd-event: native support for watchdog stuff
-
-* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH call over the bus
-
-* sd-bus: SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
+* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
-* add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
-
-* systemctl: rework wait filter to not require match callback
-
* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
-* bus: access policy as vtable flag
-
-* journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
-
-* tmpfiles: to make sure we don't delete unpacked tarballs with old timestamps right-away never delete stuff that is inside a directory with a new mtime
-
-* "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
- (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
-
* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
-* socket-proxyd:
- - Support multiple inherited sockets mapped to different remote hosts
- - Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
-
-* "systemctl cat" or "systemctl view" command or or so, that cats the backing unit file of a service, plus its drop-ins and shows them in a pager
+* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
-* tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
-
* we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
-* ensure scope units may be started only a single time
-
-* better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
-
-* systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
-
-* for transient units, instead of writing out drop-ins for all properties consider serializing them in the normal serialization stream
-
-* logind: when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
-
-* session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
-
-* add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
-
-* journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
-
* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
-* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
-
-* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
-
* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
-* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
-
-* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
-
-* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
- only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
- unit however should remove them all).
-
-* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
-
-* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
-
-* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
- full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
- to syslog when it works again.
-
* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
-* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch.
-
-* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
-
-* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
-
-* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
-
-* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
-
* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
check for that and suppress event handling.
-* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
- the hierarchies of child processes
-
* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
-* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
-
-* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
- boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
- so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
- hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
-
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
* libsystemd-bus:
- default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
+ - access policy as vtable flag
- enforce alignment of pointers passed in

- implement translator service
- - port systemd to new library
- implement busname unit type in systemd
- move to gvariant
- - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
- - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages

- implement monitor logic
- properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
+ - when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
+ - enforce signatures on response messages
+ - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
+ - support "const" properties as flag
+ - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
+ - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
+ - unelss configure option is specified refuse connecting and creating kdbus, so that we can break compat
- longer term:
* priority queues
* priority inheritance
+* sd-event
+ - allow multiple signal handlers per signal
+ - when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event source,
+ but do not return anything up to the event loop caller. Instead
+ add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take retval. This way
+ errors rippling upwards are the option, not the default
+ - child pid handling: first invoke waitid(WNOHANG) and call event handler, only afterwards reap the process
+ - native support for watchdog stuff
+
* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
-* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
- SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
- makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
- kernel.
* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
-* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
- any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
- usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
- needs setuid().
-
* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
-* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
-
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
* test/:
installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
-* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
-
* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
that automatically.
-* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
-
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
-* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
-
-* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
-
-* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
-
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
-* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
-
-* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
-
-* man: add more examples to man pages
-
-* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
-
* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
- logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
- pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
+ - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
+ - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
+ - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
+ - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
+ any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
+ usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
+ needs setuid().
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
- - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
- journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
- journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
- journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
- - journalctl: expand tabs
- journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
- - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
+ - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
+ - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container

* document:
- - document unit_name_mangle()
- document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
[Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
- man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
- document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
- document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
- document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
+ - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.

* systemctl:
- systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
- support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
- Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
+ - rework wait filter to not require match callback
+ - "systemctl cat" or "systemctl view" command or or so, that cats the backing unit file of a service, plus its drop-ins and shows them in a pager
+ - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
+ - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
+ - in systemctl list-timers show time trggering units ran last
+
+* unit install:
+ - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
+ (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
+ - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
+ only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
+ unit however should remove them all).
+ - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
+ - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
o DST changes
- Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
+ - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
+ - when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
- anacron-like feature
logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
better supported alternative.
-* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
-
* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
* 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().
* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
* fedup: generator
-* timedated:
- - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
+* timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
-* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
-
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
waiting for the timeout
-* high level net_prio setting in execution context
-
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
-* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
-
* nspawn:
- nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
- nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
- nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
- nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
+ - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
+ SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
+ makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
+ kernel.
* cryptsetup:
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
- support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
-* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
-
* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
but much rather a disconnect on success.
-* use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
-
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
* allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
- syscall filter: port to libseccomp
- system-wide seccomp filter
-* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
-
* load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
- answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
- AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
-* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
-
* ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
* udev:
* when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
-* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
+* tmpfiles:
+ - check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
+ - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
* for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
-* support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets.
+* support User= and Group= attributes for AF_UNIX sockets. (difficult, requires NSS from PID 1?)
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
* port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
- - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
- - cups HAVEPATCH
- postfix, saslauthd
- apache/samba
- libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
External:
* dbus:
- - dbus --user
- natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
- - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
- - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
- - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
- - always pass cred data along each message
- teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
* fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
