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
718db961
LP
53* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
54
55* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
56
f38afcd0 57* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
58
59* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
60
966204e0
LP
61* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
62
94676f3e 63* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 64
ced4d067
LP
65* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
66
f38afcd0 67* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
41644622 68
41644622
LP
69* 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
70
9db76355
LP
71* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
72
baa89da4
LP
73* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
74
7f79cd71 75* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 76
19aadacf
JE
77* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
78 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
79 path anyway.
80
19aadacf 81* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
982e44db
LP
82 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
83 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
84
fcba531e
LP
85* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
86
8b8f2591
ZJS
87* given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
88 probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
e10e429f 89 (we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
e1b7e7ec 90
6aaa8c2f 91* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 92
e1b7e7ec 93* 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 94
bdeeb6b5
LP
95* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
96
97* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
98
9444b1f2 99* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 100 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 101 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
102 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
103 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 104
19aadacf 105* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
1f263d4d 106
4e09014d
LP
107* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
108 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
109
eb01ba5d 110* libsystemd-bus:
eb01ba5d 111 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
86312ab8 112 - implement monitor logic
f38afcd0 113 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0
LP
114 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
115 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
bee7e928
LP
116 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
117 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
80caea6c 118 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
0a825b5c
LP
119 - longer term:
120 * priority queues
121 * priority inheritance
452de75e 122 - check sender of response messages
df98a87b
LP
123 - dbus spec updates:
124 - kdbus mapping
125 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
126 - GVariant
bee7e928 127 - "const" properties (posted)
00586799
LP
128 - port exit-on-idle logic to byebye ioctl
129 - make use of "drop" ioctl in pid 1 bus activation
f38afcd0
LP
130
131* sd-event
12179984 132 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 133
154ff088
LP
134* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
135 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
136 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
137
d686f034
LP
138* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
139 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
140
69af4503 141* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 142
69af4503 143* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 144
461bd8e4
LP
145* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
146 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
147
ab8e074c
LP
148* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
149
150* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
151
b454b112
LP
152* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
153
154* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
155
06db8540
LP
156* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
157
4ff49cb6
LP
158* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
159
fff87a35
ZJS
160* test/:
161 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
162 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 163
b8b4d3dd
LP
164* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
165
3df82d5a
LP
166* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
167 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
168 file.
169
b5c03638
LP
170* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
171 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
172 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
173 destination.
174
eece8c6f
LP
175* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
176 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
177
356ce991
LP
178* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
179
180* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
181
3b953d68
JT
182* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
183 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
184 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
185 old.
186
09f727ee
LP
187* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
188 need manual exponential loops after all
189
795607b2
LP
190* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
191 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
192 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
193 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
194
0be8342c
LP
195* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
196 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
197 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
198 that automatically.
199
e5ec62c5 200* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 201
826872b6
LP
202* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
203
54c31a79 204* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 205
3679d112
LP
206* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
207
3679d112
LP
208* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
209
210* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
211
cbb77121
LP
212* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
213
d01a73b6
LP
214* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
215
f8aeee1f
LP
216* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
217 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
218 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
219 will be activated.
220
356ce991 221* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 222
81d112a8 223* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 224
b44be3ec 225* EFI:
b44be3ec 226 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
227 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
228 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 229 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 230
c0fe5db5 231* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 232
b44be3ec 233* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 234
b44be3ec
LP
235* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
236 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 237
b44be3ec 238* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 239
b44be3ec 240* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 241
b44be3ec
LP
242* logind:
243 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
244 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
245 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
246 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
247 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
b44be3ec
LP
248 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
249 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 250 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
e5ec62c5 251 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
252 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
253 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
254 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
255 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
256 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
257 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
258 needs setuid().
e673ad04 259
b44be3ec 260* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 261
b44be3ec 262* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 263
b44be3ec 264* journal:
c06bf414 265 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
266 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
267 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
268 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
269 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
270 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
271 - journal: reuse XZ context
272 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
273 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
274 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
275 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
276 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
277 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
278 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 279 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
280 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
281 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 282 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
283 - 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.
284 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
285 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 286 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 287 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
288 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
289 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
290 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
291 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
292 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
293 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 294 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 295 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
296 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
297 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
298 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
299 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
300 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
301 to syslog when it works again.
302 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
303 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
304 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
305 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
306 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
307
308* document:
8b8f2591 309 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
310 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
311 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 312 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 313 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 314 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
315 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
316 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
317 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
318 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
319 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
320 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
321 - man: add more examples to man pages
322 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
323
324* systemctl:
325 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
326 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
327 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
328 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
329 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
330 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
331 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
332 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
333 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
334 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
335 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
336 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
337 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0 338 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
f38afcd0
LP
339 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
340 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
8b8f2591 341 - in systemctl list-timers show time triggering units ran last
f38afcd0
LP
342
343* unit install:
344 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
345 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
346 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
347 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
348 unit however should remove them all).
349 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
350 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 351
e673ad04
LP
352* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
353
b44be3ec
LP
354* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
355
356* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
357 - timer events with system resume
358 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
359 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
360 o DST changes
eb124a97 361 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0
LP
362 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
363 - 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

367* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
368
369* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
370 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
371 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 372 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 373 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 374 user did not request anything like it.

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

e707c494
LP
380* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
381 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
382 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283

383 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in

385 better supported alternative.

eb124a97 424 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 425 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context

427 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
428 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that

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

505 - run until -EAGAIN
506 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
507 - call umount
