ZJS
3* Many manager configuration settings that are only applicable to user
4 manager or system manager can be always set. It would be better to reject
5 them when parsing config.

ZJS
7* userdbctl: "Password OK: yes" is shown even when there are no passwords
8 or the password is locked.

10* Get rid of nftw(). We should refuse to use such useless APIs on principle.
11
f38afcd0 12External:
f85857df 13
f38afcd0 14* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 15

LP
16Janitorial Clean-ups:
17
5e524b40
LP
18* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
19
bb527e11
LP
20* rework mount.c and swap.c to follow proper state enumeration/deserialization
21 semantics, like we do for device.c now
22
c6407108
LP
23Features:
24
ea846e45 25* ability to insert trusted configuration and secrets into the boot parameters
ee7561d0
LP
26 of a kernel booting in a VM or on baremetal some way, via TPM
27 protection. idea:
28 1. pass via /proc/bootconfig
29 2. for secrets: put secrets in node of /proc/bootconfig, decrypt them via
30 TPM early on in PID 1, put them in $CREDENTIAL_PATH logic
31 3. for config: put signed data in node /proc/booconfig, validate via TPM
32 early on in PID 1, put data into /run/bootconfig/ as individual files
33 4. boot loader/stub should pick these up automatically from the boot loader
34 file systems
35
64e8e419
LP
36* journald: support RFC3164 fully for the incoming syslog transport, see
37 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/19251#issuecomment-816601955
38
f3e58b55
LP
39* homed: if kernel 5.12 uid mapping mounts exist, use that instead of recursive
40 chowns.
41
31892e8d
LP
42* DynamicUser= + StateDirectory= → use uid mapping mounts, too, in order to
43 make dirs appear under right UID.
44
45* nspawn: make --bind= work sanely with --private-users when uid mapping mounts
46 are used.
47
f3e58b55
LP
48* cryptsetup: tweak tpm2-device=auto logic, abort quickly if firmware tells us
49 there isn't any TPM2 device anyway. that way, we'll wait for the TPM2 device
50 to show up only if registered in LUKS header + the firmware suggests there is
51 a device worth waiting for.
52
53* systemd-sysext: optionally, run it in initrd already, before transitioning
54 into host, to open up possibility for services shipped like that.
55
f3e58b55
LP
56* add a new switch --auto-definitions=yes/no or so to systemd-repart. If
57 specified, synthesize a definition automatically if we can: enlarge last
58 partition on disk, but only if it is marked for growing and not read-only.
59
60* add a switch to homectl (maybe called --first-boot) where it will check if
61 any non-system users exist, and if not prompts interactively for basic user
f1a5c566 62 info, mimicking systemd-firstboot. Then, place this in a service that runs
f3e58b55
LP
63 after systemd-homed, but before gdm and friends, as a simple, barebones
64 fallback logic to get a regular user created on uninitialized systems.
65
49bd547b
LP
66* maybe add a tool that displays most recent journal logs as QR code to scan
67 off screen and run it automatically on boot failures, emergency logs and
68 such. Use DRM APIs directly, see
69 https://github.com/dvdhrm/docs/blob/master/drm-howto/modeset.c for an example
70 for doing that.
71
72* pass systemd-detect-virt result to generators as env var. Modifying behaviour
73 based on whether we are virtualized or not is a pretty common thing, hence
74 maybe just pass that info along for free in an env var. We cache the result
75 anyway, so it's basically free.
76
24063ba1
LP
77* systemd-repart: read LUKS encryption key from $CREDENTIALS_PATH
78
79* introduce /dev/disk/root/* symlinks that allow referencing partitions on the
f3e58b55
LP
80 disk the rootfs is on in a reasonably secure way. (or maybe: add
81 /dev/gpt-auto-{home,srv,boot,…} similar in style to /dev/gpt-auto-root as we
82 already have it.
24063ba1 83
7e7b0e21
LP
84* systemd-repart: add a switch to factory reset the partition table without
85 immediately applying the new configuration again. i.e. --factory-reset=leave
86 or so. (this is useful to factory reset an image, then putting it into
87 another machine, ensuring that luks key is generated on new machine, not old)
88
3d3aafa4
ZJS
89* systemd-repart: support setting up dm-integrity with HMAC
90
91* systemd-repart: maybe remove half-initialized image on failure. It fails
92 if the output file exists, so a repeated invocation will usually fail if
93 something goes wrong on the way.
94
95* systemd-repart: drop pager mode on normal operation?
96
04820600
LP
97* move logind udev rules to top-level rule.d/ directory
98
99* move multiseat vid/pid matches from logind udev rule to hwdb
100
0361cee4
LP
101* nspawn: default to 1:1 userns
102
103* Provide a reasonably bespoke solution for mounting host $HOME directories
104 into containers:
105 • add new option --mount-user=$USER for mounting $HOME of the user into the
106 container at the same place
107 • check /etc/passwd for UID or user name clashes. If UID clash pick a different
108 UID in container, and map via userns. If user name clash, refuse. If
109 matching user already exists use that.
110 • otherwise: write user record of specified user into /run/host/passwd or so
111 • in nss-systemd pick up user record from there and make available to system
112 With all that in place if nspawn host and container payload are up-to-date
113 enough we have a very simple way to make host users available in containers.
114
7ed72cfa
LP
115* whenever we receive fds via SCM_RIGHTS make sure none got dropped due to the
116 reception limit the kernel silently enforces.
117
66e52d22
LP
118* add an Open= setting to service unit files that can open arbitrary file
119 system paths at service startup time and pass them to the service process via
120 our usual socket activation protocol. If passed path refers to AF_UNIX
121 socket: connect() to it.
122
123* add a ConnectSocket= setting to service unit files, that may reference a
124 socket unit, and which will connect to the socket defined therein, and pass
125 the resulting fd to the service program via socket activation proto.
126
127* Add a concept of ListenStream=anonymous to socket units: listen on a socket
128 that is deleted in the fs. Usecase would be with ConnectSocket= above.
129
bf843b0b
LP
130* Hook up journald's FSS logic with TPM2: seal the verification disk by
131 time-based policy, so that the verification key can remain on host and ve
132 validated via TPM.
133
33295214 134* sd-boot: define a drop-in dir in the ESP that may contain X.509
13a4e9f2 135 certificates. If the firmware is detected to be in setup mode, automatically
33295214
LP
136 enroll them as PK/KEK/db, turn off setup mode and proceed. Optionally,
137 instead of auto-enrolling them add them to the sd-boot menu, giving the user
138 the option to manually enroll them, after selecting the menu entry. This way,
139 installer images can just drop the certfiicates in the ESP, and on first boot
140 can easily enroll the keys without ever booting up.
141
142* efi stub: optionally, load initrd from disk as a separate file, HMAC check it
143 with key from TPM, bound to PCR, refusing if failing. This would then allow
144 traditional distros that generate initrds locally to secure them with TPM:
145 after generating the initrd, do the HMAC calculation, put result in initrd
146 filename, done. This would then bind the validity of the initrd to the local
147 host, and used kernel, and means people cannot change initrd or kernel
148 without booting the kernel + initrd.
149
14f7d087
LP
150* importd: add ability download images for portabled + sysext
151
152* importd: support image signature verification with PKCS#7 + OpenBSD signify
153 logic, as alternative to crummy gpg
154
155* sd-boot: add service that automatically runs "bootctl update" on every boot,
156 in a graceful way, so that updated /usr trees automatically propagate into
157 updated boot loaders on reboot.
158
dfbbb4f7
LP
159* sysext: optionally, if the merged trees allow it use bind mounts instead of
160 overlayfs
161
162* nspawn: add support for sysext extensions, too. i.e. a new --extension=
163 switch that takes one or more arguments, and applies the extensions already
164 during startup.
165
9786ba13
LP
166* add "systemd-analyze debug" + AttachDebugger= in unit files: The former
167 specifies a command to execute; the latter specifies that an already running
168 "systemd-analyze debug" instance shall be contacted and execution paused
169 until it gives an OK. That way, tools like gdb or strace can be safely be
170 invoked on processes forked off PID 1.
171
38abd1bf
LP
172* expose MS_NOSYMFOLLOW in various places
173
9aea1e58
LP
174* tpm2: support a PIN policy, i.e. allowing windows-style short authentication
175 passwords by using the TPM2 to enforce ratelimiting and such, use for
176 cryptsetup and homed
177
80670e74
LP
178* Add concept for upgrading TPM2 enrollments, maybe a new switch
179 --pcrs=4:<hash> or so, i.e. select a PCR to include in the hash, and then
180 override its hash
181
182* homed: store PKCS#11 + FIDO2 token info in LUKS2 header, compatible with
183 systemd-cryptsetup, so that it can unlock homed volumes
184
185* cryptenroll: politely refuse enrolling new keys to homed volumes, since we
186 we cannot update identity info
187
188* TPM2: auto-reenroll in cryptsetup, as fallback for hosed firmware upgrades
189 and such
190
191* cryptsetup: if only recovery keys are registered and no regular passphrases,
192 ask user for "recovery key", not "passphrase"
193
194* cyptsetup: add option for automatically removing empty password slot on boot
195
7d7c75f1 196* cryptsetup: optionally, when run during boot-up and password is never
80670e74
LP
197 entered, and we are on battery power (or so), power off machine again
198
199* cryptsetup: when FIDO2/PKCS#11/TPM2 token/chip didn't show up after some
200 time, abort the attempt, fallback to asking for pw
201
202* cryptsetup: when waiting for FIDO2/PKCS#11 token, tell plymouth that, and
203 allow plymouth to abort the waiting and enter pw instead
7d7c75f1
LP
204
205* when configuring loopback netif, and it fails due to EPERM, eat up error if
206 it happens to be set up alright already.
207
208* at boot: check if battery above some threshold, if not power off again after explanation
209
210* userdb: add field for ambient caps, so that a user can have CAP_WAKE_ALARM
211 for example. And add code that resets ambient caps for all services by
212 default.
213
d72ff2df
LP
214* homed: try to unmount in regular intervals when home dir was busy when we
215 tried because idle.
216
ff640bd2
LP
217* sd-bus: when connecting to some dbus server socker, set originating AF_UNIX
218 socket name in abstract namespace to include "description" string, and pick
219 it up from there in sd_bus_creds logic. i.e. we can use the socket peer
220 address as conduit for some minimal connection metainfo, and use it to
221 restore the "description" logic that kdbus used to have.
222
377a9545 223* teach LoadCredential= the ability to load all files from a specified dir as
3b8a2160
LP
224 individual creds
225
08d33656 226* systemd-analyze netif that explains predictable interface (or networkctl)
d775d8e6 227
816d460a
LP
228* Add service setting to run a service within the specified VRF. i.e. do the
229 equivalent of "ip vrf exec".
230
e59d030f
LP
231* change SwitchRoot() implementation in PID 1 to use pivot_root(".", "."), as
232 documented in the pivot_root(2) man page, so that we can drop the /oldroot
233 temporary dir.
234
235* special case some calls of chase_symlinks() to use openat2() internally, so
236 that the kernel does what we otherwise do.
237
1817be80 238* homed: keep an fd to the homedir open at all times, to keep the fs pinned
377a9545 239 (autofs and such) while user is logged in.
bb970e57 240
1817be80 241* nss-systemd: also synthesize shadow records for users/groups
38821a0e 242
fc733bed
LP
243* make use of new glibc 2.32 APIs sigabbrev_np() and strerrorname_np().
244
fdc6c4f4
LP
245* when main nspawn supervisor process gets suspended due to SIGSTOP/SIGTTOU or
246 so, freeze the payload too.
247
42165319
LP
248* add /etc/integritytab, to support dm-integrity setups. In particular those
249 with HMAC as hash function, so that we can have a protected /home without
250 encryption (leaving encryption to the individual dirs/homed).
251
16a4a2f8
LP
252* complement root=, rootflags=, rootfstype= with rootsubdir= which allows
253 mounting a subdir of the root fs as actual root. This can be used as
254 fstype-agnostic version of btrfs' rootflags=subvol=foobar.
255
effefa30
LP
256* if /usr/bin/swapoff fails due to OOM, log a friendly explanatory message about it
257
6ae8c6f5
LP
258* build short web pages out of each catalog entry, build them along with man
259 pages, and include hyperlinks to them in the journal output
260
d08a6ec3
LP
261* machined: add API to acquire UID range. add API to mount/dissect loopback
262 file. Both protected by PK. Then make nspawn use these APIs to run
263 unprivileged containers. i.e. push the truly privileged bits into machined,
264 so that the client side can remain entirely unprivileged, with SUID or
265 anything like that.
266
5c0102f8 267* journald: do journal file writing out-of-process, with one writer process per
cb713f16 268 client UID, so that synthetic hash table collisions can slow down a specific
5c0102f8
LP
269 user's journal stream down but not the others.
270
f1eb0ccd
LP
271* nspawn: support time namespaces
272
737ec514
LP
273* systemd-firstboot: make sure to always use chase_symlinks() before
274 reading/writing files
275
42ba8d25
LP
276* Remove any support for booting without /usr pre-mounted in the initrd entirely.
277 Update INITRD_INTERFACE.md accordingly.
278
f1eb0ccd
LP
279* pid1: Move to tracking of main pid/control pid of units per pidfd
280
281* pid1: support new clone3() fork-into-cgroup feature
282
7cc8fb3e
LP
283* pid1: also remove PID files of a service when the service starts, not just
284 when it exits
285
cdfd8537
LP
286* make us use dynamically fewer deps for containers in general purpose distros:
287 o turn into dlopen() deps:
cdfd8537
LP
288 - elfutils (always)
289 - p11-kit-trust (always)
290 - kmod-libs (only when called from PID 1)
a52dc0b6 291 - libblkid (only in RootImage= handling in PID 1, but not elsewhere)
cdfd8537
LP
292 - libpam (only when called from PID 1)
293 - bzip2, xz, lz4 (always — gzip and zstd should probably stay static deps the way they are,
294 since they are so basic and our defaults)
295 o move into separate libsystemd-shared-iptables.so .so
296 - iptables-libs (only used by nspawn + networkd)
297
77169ed0
LP
298* seccomp: maybe use seccomp_merge() to merge our filters per-arch if we can.
299 Apparently kernel performance is much better with fewer larger seccomp
300 filters than with more smaller seccomp filters.
301
bfafec25
LP
302* systemd-path: add ESP and XBOOTLDR path. Add "private" runtime/state/cache dir enum,
303 mapping to $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY, $STATE_DIRECTORY and such
304
a6e1018d 305* All tools that support --root= should also learn --image= so that they can
612d3a68
LP
306 operate on disk images directly. Specifically: bootctl, systemctl,
307 coredumpctl. (Already done: systemd-nspawn, systemd-firstboot,
308 systemd-repart, systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-sysusers, journalctl)
a6e1018d 309
112bed84
LP
310* seccomp: by default mask x32 ABI system wide on x86-64. it's on its way out
311
312* seccomp: don't install filters for ABIs that are masked anyway for the
313 specific service
314
315* seccomp: maybe merge all filters we install into one with that libseccomp API that allows merging.
316
fabece9c
LP
317* credentials system:
318 - maybe add AcquireCredential= for querying a cred via ask-password
319 - maybe try to acquire creds via keyring?
320 - maybe try to pass creds via keyring?
321 - maybe optionally pass creds via memfd
322 - maybe add support for decrypting creds via TPM
323 - maybe add support for decrypting/importing creds via pkcs11
324 - make systemd-cryptsetup acquire pw via creds logic
325 - make PAMName= acquire pw via creds logic
326 - make macsec/wireguard code in networkd read key via creds logic
327 - make gatwayd/remote read key via creds logic
328 - add sd_notify() command for flushing out creds not needed anymore
a6e1018d 329
a6e1018d
LP
330* homed: during login resize fs automatically towards size goal. Specifically,
331 resize to diskSize if possible, but leave a certain amount (configured by a
332 new value diskLeaveFreeSize) of space free on the backing fs.
333
f1eb0ccd
LP
334* homed: permit multiple user record signing keys to be used locally, and pick
335 the right one for signing records automatically depending on a pre-existing
336 signature
1f7c6f90
LP
337
338* homed: add a way to "adopt" a home directory, i.e. strip foreign signatures
339 and insert a local signature instead.
340
15981c26
LP
341* homed: as an extension to the directory+subvolume backend: if located on
342 especially marked fs, then sync down password into LUKS header of that fs,
343 and always verify passwords against it too. Bootstrapping is a problem
15dd4515 344 though: if no one is logged in (or no other user even exists yet), how do you
15981c26
LP
345 unlock the volume in order to create the first user and add the first pw.
346
f1eb0ccd
LP
347* homed: support new FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl for setting up fscrypt
348
c5ca6d90
LP
349* homed: maybe pre-create ~/.cache as subvol so that it can have separate quota
350 easily?
351
cbe952fe
LP
352* busctl: maybe expose a verb "ping" for pinging a dbus service to see if it
353 exists and responds.
354
492f91d8
LP
355* bootctl:
356 - teach it to prepare an ESP wholesale, i.e. with mkfs.vfat invocation
357 - teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
358 - make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
359
b47261e5
LP
360* Maybe add a separate GPT partition type to the discoverable partition spec
361 for "hibernate" partitions, that are exactly like swap partitions but only
362 activated right before hibernation and thus never used for regular swapping.
363
e1d32d6e
LP
364* by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
365 allow so that systemd survives
366
c809ed78
LP
367* cryptsetup: allow encoding key directly in /etc/crypttab, maybe with a
368 "base64:" prefix. Useful in particular for pkcs11 mode.
369
56a061f5
LP
370* cryptsetup: reimplement the mkswap/mke2fs in cryptsetup-generator to use
371 systemd-makefs.service instead.
372
91fc013f 373* socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
86b52a39 374 with matches, then activate app through that passing socket over
91fc013f 375
cdfd8537
LP
376* unify on openssl (as soon as OpenSSL 3.0 is out, and the Debian license
377 confusion is gone)
492f91d8
LP
378 - port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
379 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
380 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
381 - port importd over from libgcrypt
382 - when that's done: kill khash.c
383 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
384
492f91d8
LP
385* when we resize disks (homed?) always round up to 4K sectors, not 512K
386
387* add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
388 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
389
492f91d8 390* systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
86b52a39 391 that only cover the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
492f91d8
LP
392 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
393 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
394
492f91d8
LP
395* systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
396 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
397 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
398 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
399 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
400 automatically.
401
402* systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
403 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
404
b47261e5
LP
405* systemd-repart: allow boolean option that ensures that if existing partition
406 doesn't exist within the configured size bounds the whole command fails. This
407 is useful to implement ESP vs. XBOOTLDR schemes in installers: have one set
408 of repart files for the case where ESP is large enough and one where it isn't
409 and XBOOTLDR is added in instead. Then apply the former first, and if it
410 fails to apply use the latter.
411
412* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to never reuse existing partition
413 and always create anew even if matching partition already exists.
414
415* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to fail if partition already exist,
416 i.e. is not added new. Similar, add option to fail if partition does not exist yet.

418* systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
419 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
420
2a4be3c5 421* systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
006c44c1
LP
422 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
423
77b19caf
LP
424* userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API, allow realname and
425 realname substr searches in varlink API
006c44c1 426
76410e98
LP
427* userdb: allow uid/gid range checks
428
2a4be3c5 429* userdb: allow existence checks
006c44c1 430
f1eb0ccd 431* pid1: activation by journal search expression
006c44c1 432
492f91d8
LP
433* when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
434 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
435 initrd had set.
436
173c7873 437* sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
84a1ff94 438 it for reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
173c7873
LP
439 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
440 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
441 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
442 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
443
444* tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
445 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
446 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
447
173c7873
LP
448* maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
449 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
450 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
451 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
452 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
453 source.
454
173c7873
LP
455* figure out automatic partition discovery when combining writable root dir
456 with immutable /usr
457
97e5cc88
LP
458* coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
459 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
460 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
461
f3e361c1
LP
462* teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
463
9ef3376b
LP
464* beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
465 the hibernation
466
c846b233
LP
467* beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
468 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
469 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
470 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
471 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
472 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
473 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
474 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
475 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
476 hibernation mode. (see
477 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
478 section 10.2.2.8 and
479 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
480 at the end).
481
f293fc51
LP
482* add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
483 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
484 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
485 output for them.
486
9c230b8f
LP
487* We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
488 that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
489 constant vendor data.
490
c6526b8d 491* maybe add kernel cmdline params: to force random seed crediting
312dc153
LP
492
493* nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
494 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
495
496* nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
497 fallback in "machinectl shell"
72bd8525 498
ac5dca64
LP
499* logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
500 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
501 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
502
c809ed78
LP
503* homed:
504 - when user tries to log into record signed by unrecognized key, automatically add key to our chain after polkit auth
c809ed78
LP
505 - rollback when resize fails mid-operation
506 - GNOME's side for forget key on suspend (requires rework so that lock screen runs outside of uid)
507 - resize on login?
c809ed78
LP
508 - shrink fs on logout?
509 - update LUKS password on login if we find there's a password that unlocks the JSON record but not the LUKS device.
510 - create on activate?
511 - properties: icon url?, preferred session type?, administrator bool (which translates to 'wheel' membership)?, address?, telephone?, vcard?, samba stuff?, parental controls?
512 - communicate clearly when usb stick is safe to remove. probably involves
513 beefing up logind to make pam session close hook synchronous and wait until
514 systemd --user is shut down.
515 - logind: maybe keep a "busy fd" as long as there's a non-released session around or the user@.service
cbe952fe
LP
516 - maybe make automatic, read-only, time-based reflink-copies of LUKS disk
517 images (and btrfs snapshots of subvolumes) (think: time machine)
86b52a39 518 - distinguish destroy / remove (i.e. currently we can unregister a user, unregister+remove their home directory, but not just remove their home directory)
c809ed78
LP
519 - in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
520 - fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
521 - make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
c809ed78 522 - make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
c809ed78
LP
523 - query password from kernel keyring first
524 - update even if record is "absent"
525 - add a "access mode" + "fstype" field to the "status" section of json identity records reflecting the actually used access mode and fstype, even on non-luks backends
526 - move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
527 - when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
528 - make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
529 - logind: populate auto-login list bus property from PKCS#11 token
530 - when determining state of a LUKS home directory, check DM suspended sysfs file
cbe952fe
LP
531 - introduce API for "making room", that grows/shrinks home directory
532 according to elastic parameters, discards blocks, and removes additional snapshots. Call it
533 either from UI when disk space gets low
c809ed78 534
ac5dca64
LP
535* introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
536 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
537 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
538 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
539 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
540 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
541 exec().
542
543* let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
544
5daeeecf
LP
545* when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
546 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
547
5802d977
LP
548* introduce a new group to own TPM devices
549
550* make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
551 gnome-bluetooth and friends
552
d84520e9
LP
553* tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
554 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
555 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
556 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
557 cgroup.
558
03ccc7f0
LP
559* make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
560 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
561 root.
562
563* maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
564 is issued.
565
db3cea22
LP
566* when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
567
568* when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
569
707b3fbd
LP
570* Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
571 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
572 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
d7b659ef 573
d238709c 574* rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
d96c081a
LP
575 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
576 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
577
06bd149a
LP
578* add a concept for automatically loading per-unit secrets off disk and
579 inserting them into the kernel keyring. Maybe SecretsDirectory= similar to
580 ConfigurationDirectory=.
581
8a7cf157
LP
582* when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
583
d3584ec4 584* bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
fe1bff15 585
d96c081a
LP
586* add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
587 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
588
06898123 589* paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
309c6b19 590 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
9ae4ef49 591 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
06898123 592
32875617
LP
593* Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
594
595* support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
596 patching around
597
76853293
LP
598* maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
599 log.c and sd-journal-send
600
06898123
LP
601* optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
602
d3aeddb8
LP
603* introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
604
42e18088
LP
605* sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
606 can add in file system drivers and such
607
42e18088
LP
608* sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
609 non-zero "tries done" count
610
8f2eb730
LP
611* introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
612 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
613 it should skip the variant type string though.
614
615* augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
616 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
617 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
618 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
619 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
620 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
621 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
622 CODE_FILE.
623
8f2eb730
LP
624* Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
625 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
626 some explanatory text online.
627
7bd4bcf7
LP
628* maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
629
a33ffd15
LP
630* Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
631 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
632 the slices, and the units attached to them.
633
20d4b101
LP
634* the a-posteriori stopping of units bound to units that disappeared logic
635 should be reworked: there should be a queue of units, and we should only
bc130b68 636 enqueue stop jobs from a defer event that processes queue instead of
20d4b101
LP
637 right-away when we find a unit that is bound to one that doesn't exist
638 anymore. (similar to how the stop-unneeded queue has been reworked the same
639 way)
4e8113bb 640
126708fa
LP
641* nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
642 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
643 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
644
bb527e11
LP
645* When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
646 original defaults before calling parse_config()
647
72d711ef 648* nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
c7db2a9d 649
c633b0a6
LP
650* hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
651 Specifically:
652
653 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
654 properly)
e83419d0 655 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
46c41478 656 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
c633b0a6 657
070d0ac9
LP
658* cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
659 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
660
e44924f5
LP
661* beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
662 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
663 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
664 files and suchlike we operate on.
070d0ac9 665
8c4c2dfc
LP
666* add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
667
668* add attach --enable and attach --now (for attach+enable+start)
669
670* sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
671 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
672
5da19043 673* Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
5238e957 674 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
5da19043
LP
675 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
676 numbers.
677
16270697
LP
678* Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
679 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
680 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
681 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
682 unlinked from any dir.
683
bd1b3f75 684* port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
5da19043 685
7bc756ff
LP
686* pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
687
688* add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
689
53c70a27
LP
690* introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
691 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
692 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
693 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
694 should reflink the image file itself.
695
696 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
697 specific paths only like this.
698
53c70a27 699* add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
5238e957 700 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
53c70a27
LP
701 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
702 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
2aed63f4 703 images, for example fall back to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
53c70a27 704
d9b50610
LP
705* show invocation ID in systemd-run output
706
707* bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
708
9711b1ad
LP
709* add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
710 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
711
1e784321
LP
712* teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
713 project quota
0d545655 714
6b7b0f39
LP
715* introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
716 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
717 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
718 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
719 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
720 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
721 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:
722 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-February/040369.html
723
aa79f932
LP
724* maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
725 for root, but only then.
586a8e93 726
46099c9e
LP
727* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
728
46099c9e
LP
729* calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
730 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
731
c3cd7cc9
LP
732* sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
733 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
734
d0e5db44
ZJS
735* sd-bus: parse addresses given in sd_bus_set_addresses immediately and not
736 only when used. Add unit tests.
737
06345858
LP
738* make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
739 host-side interface pointing to the container.
740
48f1b5e5
LP
741* add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
742 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
743 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
744 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
745 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
746
cb77e122 747* taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
c6009ff0 748
899feb72 749* deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
c6009ff0 750
3d80d454
LP
751* add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
752 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
753 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
754
5f7ecd61 755* support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
5962e9db 756
17b6f896
LP
757* add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
758 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
759
17b6f896
LP
760* blog about fd store and restartable services
761
762* document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
763
370f9c21
LP
764* rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
765 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
766
17b6f896
LP
767* in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
768 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
769 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
770 ID is available.
771
772* optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
773 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
774 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
775
e7e4a258
LP
776* beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
777 parameters
778
6fc373ee 779* maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
d51c4fca 780 the quota of the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
5962e9db
LP
781 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
782 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
783 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
784 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
785 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
6fc373ee 786
9a92a97a
LP
787* In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
788 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
789
2368e974
LP
790* add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
791 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
792 wait to retrieve their exit data.
793
fa991fb7
LP
794* expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
795 about it in the resource log message
796
fa991fb7
LP
797* show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
798 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
799
d73b607d
LP
800* Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
801 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
802 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
803
fd63f36c
LP
804* add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
805 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
806
807 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
808
3576dddf
LP
809* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
810 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
811 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
812 logging.
813
fe6a0235
LP
814* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
815 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
816 "convertible" form factor
817
f59d1da8
LP
818* Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
819 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
820 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
821
33bac67b
LP
822* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
823 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
824
825* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
826 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
827 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
828 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
829 natural habitat.
830
8eb7383b
LP
831* gpt-auto logic: support encrypted swap, add kernel cmdline option to force it, and honour a gpt bit about it, plus maybe a configuration file
832
67234d21
LP
833* drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
834
b5bdbcd5
LP
835* add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
836 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
837 relative to the configured default value.
838
d21494ea
LP
839* in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
840
841* enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
842
04397464 843* Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
d82047be 844
d82047be
LP
845* nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
846
d82047be
LP
847* define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
848
42d61ded
LP
849* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
850
04397464 851* ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
42d61ded 852
04397464 853* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
563a69f4 854
04397464 855* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
2c5f2958 856
8ce9b83a 857* RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
a46eac1b
LP
858
859* ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
860 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
861 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
862
e40a326c 863* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
89f193fa 864
6809de5b
LP
865* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
866
8ce9b83a
LP
867* in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
868 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
869 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
870 mapping to work.
871
2c5f2958
LP
872* add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
873
874* add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
875
876* add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
877
b8c7afdf
LP
878* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
879 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
880
1e555cb5
LP
881* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
882 reload the unit file anyway
883
1e555cb5
LP
884* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
885 from the SIGBUS handler
886
c8048350
LP
887* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
888
648b1220
LP
889* delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
890 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
891
3d39e6e5
LP
892* cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
893
bd098bce
LP
894* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
895 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
896
f9bf1b8f 897* add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
de7399eb 898 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
f9bf1b8f 899 specifications.
de7399eb 900
3efc8c72
LP
901* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
902
5ebbb45b 903* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
03364e47 904
e6a26d8c
LP
905* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
906
a2088fd0 907* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
5238e957 908 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
a2088fd0
LP
909 prefixed with /sys generally special.

912* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
913
b18d23d7
LP
914* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
915
60d17b74
LP
916* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
917 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
918 state.
919 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
920
477e75ef
LP
921* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
922 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
923 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
924 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
925 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.

98cd2651 931
2a441c8a
LP
932* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
933 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
934 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
935 do, for example)
936
0a86c1a9
LP
937* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
938 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html

942
8514b677
LP
943* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
944
7b0fce61
LP
945* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
946 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
947 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
948 returning from the "systemctl stop".
949
b568ef14 950* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
c2d5b3c9 951
8483d73f
LP
952* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
953 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
954
25e773ee 955* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
b857e042 956
279f0366 957* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
533bb267 958
720652b3 959* exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
42aeb14a 960
720652b3 961* timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM

6bd7941e
TG
965* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
966 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)

9d6db739 968* resolved:
9d6db739 969 - mDNS/DNS-SD
ccc3e8a1
LP
970 - service registration
971 - service/domain/types browsing
0f47ed0a 972 - avahi compat
9d6db739 973 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
e25b5a8d
DH
974 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
975 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
976 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
720652b3 977 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
3efb871a 978 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
3f77a1b1 979
e25b5a8d 980* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked

37efac5d

988* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...

LP
990* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
991
81429136
KS
992* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
993 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
e107ed18 994
edb2935c
LP
995* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
996
6a3f892a 997* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9 998 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 999 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 1000
65026403
LP
1001* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
1002 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
1003 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 1004
f9bf1b8f 1005* MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
eda8f067 1006
af1082b0
LP
1007* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
1008 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
1009 for ReusePort=
1010
f38afcd0 1011* cgroups:
f38afcd0 1012 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
f38afcd0
LP
1013 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
1014 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
1015 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
1016 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
1017 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 1018
f38afcd0 1019* transient units:
f38afcd0 1020 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
ebcf1f97 1021
718db961
LP
1022* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
1023
718db961
LP
1024* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
1025
966204e0
LP
1026* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
1027
41644622
LP
1028* 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
1029
7f79cd71 1030* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 1031
19aadacf
JE
1032* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
1033 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
1034 path anyway.
1035
04397464 1036* refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
fcba531e 1037
bdeeb6b5
LP
1038* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
1039
1040* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
1041
6bb648a1 1042* sd-bus:
0d43ffef 1043 - EBADSLT handling
fa607802 1044 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
7212c608 1045 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
57f2a947 1046 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
f38afcd0 1047 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0 1048 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
ab9716c2 1049 - longer term: priority inheritance
df98a87b 1050 - dbus spec updates:
df98a87b
LP
1051 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
1052 - GVariant
2ecfc64e 1053 - path escaping
6a8b5fa4 1054 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
f38afcd0
LP
1055
1056* sd-event
12179984 1057 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
0536ce5d 1058 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
e25b5a8d 1059 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
f6ad6248
LP
1060 - maybe support iouring as backend, so that we allow hooking read and write
1061 operations instead of IO ready events into event loops. See considerations
1062 here:
1063 http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/07/rethinking-event-loop-integration-for.html
eb01ba5d 1064
69af4503 1065* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 1066
461bd8e4
LP
1067* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
1068 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
1069
ab8e074c
LP
1070* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
1071
1072* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
1073
fff87a35 1074* test/:
20d52ab6 1075 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
b8b4d3dd 1076
b5c03638 1077* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 1078 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
1079 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
1080 destination.
1081
eece8c6f
LP
1082* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
1083 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
1084
356ce991
LP
1085* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
1086
6daebf9e
ZJS
1087* Add ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= handle non-absoute paths as a search path or add
1088 ConditionConfigSearchPathNotEmpty= or different syntax? See the discussion starting at
1089 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15109#issuecomment-607740136.
1090
c1446921
LP
1091* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
1092 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
1093 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
1094 is installed.
795607b2 1095
0be8342c
LP
1096* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
1097 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
1098 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
1099 that automatically.
1100
e5ec62c5 1101* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 1102
ccddd104 1103* remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 1104
3679d112
LP
1105* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
1106
356ce991 1107* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 1108
b44be3ec 1109* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
1110 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
1111 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 1112 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
631427d6 1113* bootctl
631427d6 1114 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
e4181484 1115
c0fe5db5 1116* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 1117
b44be3ec 1118* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 1119
b44be3ec 1120* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 1121
b44be3ec
LP
1122* logind:
1123 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
b44be3ec
LP
1124 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
1125 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
1126 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
f38afcd0
LP
1127 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
1128 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
1129 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
1130 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
1131 needs setuid().
279f0366
LP
1132 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
1133 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
1134 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
1135 complete.
1136 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
1137 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
1138 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
28423d9a 1139 - expose "Locked" property on logind session objects
e25b5a8d
DH
1140 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
1141 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
1142 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
1143 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
1144 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
1145 relogins
77b19caf 1146 - (optionally?) spawn seat-manager@$SEAT.service whenever a seat shows up that as CanGraphical set
e673ad04 1147
b44be3ec 1148* journal:
57f2a947 1149 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
b44be3ec
LP
1150 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
1151 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
1152 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
2aed63f4 1153 - fall back to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec 1154 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
b44be3ec
LP
1155 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
1156 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
1157 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
5238e957 1158 message that works, but already after a short timeout
b44be3ec
LP
1159 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
1160 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
f47ec8eb 1161 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
1162 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
1163 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
06847d0f 1164 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() in the header,
038cf334 1165 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
b44be3ec
LP
1166 - 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.
1167 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
1168 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
1169 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
1170 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
1171 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
1172 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec 1173 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 1174 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 1175 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
1176 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
1177 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
1178 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
1179 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
1180 to syslog when it works again.
279f0366
LP
1181 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
1182 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
1183 journals in.
1184 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
1185 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
1186 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
1187 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
1188 the most common operations.
e25b5a8d 1189 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
e25b5a8d
DH
1190 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
1191 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
1192 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
1193 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
1194 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
1195 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
1196 operation.
1197 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
1198 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
1199 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
1200 binary logs data
e25b5a8d 1201 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
e25b5a8d
DH
1202 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
1203 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
1204 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
1205 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
06847d0f 1206 - check if loop in decompress_blob_xz() is necessary
b44be3ec 1207
590171d1
ZJS
1208* add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
1209 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
1210 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
1211 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)
1212
b44be3ec 1213* document:
8b8f2591 1214 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
1215 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
1216 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 1217 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
f38afcd0
LP
1218 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
1219 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
1220 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
1221 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
5cf821ac
ZJS
1222 - man: add more examples to man pages,
1223 - in particular an example how to do the equivalent of switching runlevels
f38afcd0 1224 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
17ec531f 1225 - document root=gpt-auto properly
b44be3ec
LP
1226
1227* systemctl:
b44be3ec
LP
1228 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
1229 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
1230 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
1231 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
1232 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
1233 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
1234 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 1235 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec 1236 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
61233823 1237 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0
LP
1238
1239* unit install:
1240 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
1241 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
8b04b925 1242
b44be3ec 1243* timer units:
b44be3ec 1244 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
b44be3ec 1245 o DST changes
90e071d1 1246 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
d2e83c23 1247
a19554ed

1249
a7a3f28b
LP
1250* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
1251
b44be3ec 1252* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 1253
f59d1da8 1254* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
dcfc4b2e 1255
71ef24d0
LP
1256* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
1257
d28315e4 1258* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
1b89884b 1259
b44be3ec 1260* nspawn:
e25b5a8d
DH
1261 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
1262 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
1263 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
1264 from the kernel's logs.
1265 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
1266 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
1267 interface be missing
e25b5a8d
DH
1268 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
1269 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
1270 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
1271 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
1272 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
1273 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
1274 PID 1...

DH
1275 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
1276 running, remove them when shut down.
e25b5a8d
DH
1277
1278* machined:
e25b5a8d
DH
1279 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
1280 removed or added to an existing machine
1281 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
1282 difference host, via ssh
e25b5a8d
DH
1283 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
1284 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
1285 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
1286 question
e25b5a8d
DH
1287 - "machinectl history"
1288 - "machinectl diff"
1289 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
1290 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
1291
b44be3ec 1292* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec 1293 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
5f1dac6b 1294 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 1295
424a19f8 1296* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it

abd55b16
KS
1309 - kill scsi_id
1310 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
e8d842a0 1311 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
b8217b7b 1312
7f110ff9
LP
1313* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
1314
d0e5a333
LP
1315* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
1316
e25b5a8d
DH
1317* coredump:
1318 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
73a99163 1319 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
87a8baa3
LP
1320
1321* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
1322
f957632b
KS
1323* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
1324 needs to be auto-respawned?
1325
f38afcd0 1326* tmpfiles:
f38afcd0 1327 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
614cc34f 1328 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
e25b5a8d
DH
1329 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
1330 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
1331 calls follow symlinks.
36f57e02 1332 - add --test mode
1258097c 1333
a4c279f8
LP
1334* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
1335
f28f1daf
LP
1336* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1337 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1338 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1339
88a07670
LP
1340* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1341 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

59fee421
LP
1366* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
1367
e25b5a8d 1368* pid1:
e25b5a8d
DH
1369 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
1370 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
1371 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
1372 that are not supported...
1373 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
1374 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
1375 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
1376 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
e25b5a8d
DH
1377 - move PAM code into its own binary
1378 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
e25b5a8d
DH
1379 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1380 - Support --test based on current system state
1381 - 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().
1382 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
e25b5a8d
DH
1383 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
1384 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
1385 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
1386 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
1387 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
1388 but much rather a disconnect on success.
1389 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
1390 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1391
1392* unit files:
1393 - allow port=0 in .socket units
1394 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
1395 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
1396 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
1397 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
1398 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
1399 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
1400 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
e25b5a8d 1401 - introduce Type=pid-file
e25b5a8d
DH
1402 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
1403 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
e25b5a8d 1404 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
e5171296 1405 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
e25b5a8d 1406
af6f0d42
TG
1407* udev-link-config:
1408 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1409 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1410 on Path= matching
af6f0d42 1411

e8d842a0 1419 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
798e174a 1420 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
a8eaaee7 1421 - work with non-Ethernet devices
e25b5a8d 1422 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
e25b5a8d
DH
1423 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1424 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1425 - expose in the API the following bits:
e2da6491 1426 - option 15, domain name
38b38500 1427 - option 12, hostname and/or option 81, fqdn
e25b5a8d
DH
1428 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1429 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1430 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1431 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1432 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1433 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
e25b5a8d 1434 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW

37d8b536
PF

1448 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1449 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1450 or interface down
1451 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1452 this behavior
