ee9c9500 1Bugfixes:
19aadacf 2* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
cff452c7
KS
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
6
f957632b
KS
7* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10
a40593a0 11* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20ffc4c4 12
19aadacf 13* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
ea92ae33
MW
14 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
15
04ac7992
ZJS
16* shorten the message to sane length:
17
18 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
19
f38afcd0 20External:
7b4da18c 21
f38afcd0 22* ps should gain colums for slice
81d112a8 23
f38afcd0 24* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
466784c8 25 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
55d32caf 26
f38afcd0 27* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 28
f38afcd0 29* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
bafb15ba 30
eb124a97 31Features:
154ff088 32
b6741478
LP
33* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
34
f38afcd0
LP
35* cgroups:
36 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
37 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
38 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
39 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
40 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
41 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
42 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
43 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 44
f38afcd0
LP
45* transient units:
46 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
47 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
48 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 49
08cd1552 50* code cleanup
08cd1552 51 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
2e41a51e 52
08cd1552 53* switch to SipHash for hashmaps/sets?
718db961 54
718db961
LP
55* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
56
57* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
58
f38afcd0 59* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
60
61* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
62
966204e0
LP
63* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
64
94676f3e 65* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 66
ced4d067
LP
67* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
68
f38afcd0 69* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
41644622 70
41644622
LP
71* 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
72
9db76355
LP
73* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
74
baa89da4
LP
75* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
76
7f79cd71 77* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 78
19aadacf
JE
79* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
80 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
81 path anyway.
82
19aadacf 83* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
982e44db
LP
84 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
85 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
86
fcba531e
LP
87* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
88
19aadacf 89* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
e1b7e7ec
LP
90 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
91
6aaa8c2f 92* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 93
e1b7e7ec 94* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 95
bdeeb6b5
LP
96* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
97
98* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
99
9444b1f2 100* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 101 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 102 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
103 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
104 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 105
1f263d4d
LP
106* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
107
19aadacf 108* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
1f263d4d 109
4e09014d
LP
110* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
111 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
112
eb01ba5d 113* libsystemd-bus:
eb01ba5d 114 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
86312ab8 115 - implement monitor logic
f38afcd0 116 - when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
f38afcd0
LP
117 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
118 - support "const" properties as flag
119 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
120 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
80caea6c 121 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
dad5f697 122 - kdbus: we need a way to figure out whether there's currently an activator for a name that is already activated
0a825b5c
LP
123 - longer term:
124 * priority queues
125 * priority inheritance
f38afcd0
LP
126
127* sd-event
12179984 128 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 129
154ff088
LP
130* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
131 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
132 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
133
d686f034
LP
134* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
135 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
136
69af4503 137* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 138
69af4503 139* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 140
461bd8e4
LP
141* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
142 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
143
ab8e074c
LP
144* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
145
146* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
147
b454b112
LP
148* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
149
150* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
151
06db8540
LP
152* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
153
4ff49cb6
LP
154* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
155
fff87a35
ZJS
156* test/:
157 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
158 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 159
b8b4d3dd
LP
160* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
161
3df82d5a
LP
162* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
163 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
164 file.
165
b5c03638
LP
166* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
167 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
168 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
169 destination.
170
eece8c6f
LP
171* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
172 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
173
356ce991
LP
174* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
175
176* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
177
3b953d68
JT
178* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
179 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
180 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
181 old.
182
09f727ee
LP
183* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
184 need manual exponential loops after all
185
795607b2
LP
186* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
187 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
188 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
189 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
190
0be8342c
LP
191* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
192 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
193 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
194 that automatically.
195
e5ec62c5 196* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 197
826872b6
LP
198* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
199
54c31a79 200* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 201
3679d112
LP
202* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
203
3679d112
LP
204* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
205
206* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
207
cbb77121
LP
208* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
209
d01a73b6
LP
210* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
211
f8aeee1f
LP
212* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
213 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
214 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
215 will be activated.
216
356ce991 217* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 218
81d112a8 219* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 220
b44be3ec 221* EFI:
b44be3ec 222 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
223 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
224 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 225 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 226
c0fe5db5 227* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 228
b44be3ec 229* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 230
b44be3ec
LP
231* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
232 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 233
b44be3ec 234* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 235
b44be3ec 236* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 237
b44be3ec
LP
238* logind:
239 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
240 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
241 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
242 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
243 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
b44be3ec
LP
244 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
245 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 246 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
e5ec62c5 247 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
248 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
249 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
250 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
251 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
252 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
253 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
254 needs setuid().
e673ad04 255
b44be3ec 256* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 257
b44be3ec 258* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 259
b44be3ec 260* journal:
c06bf414 261 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
262 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
263 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
264 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
265 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
266 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
267 - journal: reuse XZ context
268 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
269 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
270 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
271 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
272 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
273 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
274 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 275 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
276 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
277 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 278 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
279 - 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.
280 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
281 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 282 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 283 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
284 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
285 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
286 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
287 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
288 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
289 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 290 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0
LP
291 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
292 - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
293 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
294 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
295 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
296 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
297 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
298 to syslog when it works again.
299 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
300 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
301 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
302 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
303 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
304
305* document:
b44be3ec
LP
306 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
307 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
308 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
309 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
310 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
311 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 312 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 313 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
314 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
315 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
316 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
317 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
318 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
319 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
320 - man: add more examples to man pages
321 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
322
323* systemctl:
324 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
325 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
326 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
327 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
328 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
329 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
330 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
331 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
332 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
333 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
334 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
335 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
336 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0 337 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
f38afcd0
LP
338 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
339 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
340 - in systemctl list-timers show time trggering units ran last
341
342* unit install:
343 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
344 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
345 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
346 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
347 unit however should remove them all).
348 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
349 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 350
e673ad04
LP
351* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
352
b44be3ec
LP
353* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
354
355* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
356 - timer events with system resume
357 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
358 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
359 o DST changes
eb124a97 360 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0
LP
361 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
362 - 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
90e071d1
LP

366* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
367
368* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
369 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
370 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 371 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 372 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 373 user did not request anything like it.

375* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
376 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
377 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.

e707c494
LP
379* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
380 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
381 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
382 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
383 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
384 better supported alternative.

421 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
422 interfaces to the container
eb124a97 423 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 424 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
9cb74bcb 425 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
f38afcd0
LP
426 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
427 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
428 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
429 kernel.

68f16003
LP
466* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
467 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
468 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
469 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 470 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 471 but much rather a disconnect on success.

499* automount: implement expire:
500 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
501 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
502 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
503 - blocking, needs a thread
504 - run until -EAGAIN
505 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
506 - call umount
507 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
