2* systemctl status *.path shows all logs, not only the ones since the unit is
3 active

LP
7* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
8
f957632b
KS
9* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12
9a366075
LP
13* make polkit checks async
14
a40593a0 15* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

a4cc3e5c
LP
19* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
20 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
21 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 22 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 23
7e2c2bcf 24* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 25 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 26
81d112a8 27* localed:
81d112a8
LP
28 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
29
eb124a97 30Features:
154ff088 31
d5a2b9a6
LP
32* libsystemd-journal:
33 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
34
eb01ba5d
LP
35* libsystemd-bus:
36 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
37 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d
LP
38 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
39 - kdbus: generate correct bloom filter for matches
40 - implement translator service
41 - port systemd to new library
42 - implement busname unit type in systemd
43 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 44 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 45 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 46 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
47 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
48 - implement monitor logic
49 - object vtable logic
50 - longer term:
51 * priority queues
52 * worker threads
53 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 54
154ff088
LP
55* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
56 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
57 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
58
7e853a9b
LP
59* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
60 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
61 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
62 kernel.
63
d686f034
LP
64* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
65 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
66
19aa7c4f
LP
67* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
68
aa96c6cb 69* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 70
ef3b5246
LP
71* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
72 without dropping the location cache entirely.
73
461bd8e4
LP
74* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
75 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
76
ab8e074c
LP
77* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
78 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
79 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
80 needs setuid().
81
82* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
83
84* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
85
b454b112
LP
86* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
87
88* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
89
4a449ed7 90* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 91
4a449ed7
LP
92* we need dynamic units
93
4a449ed7
LP
94* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
95
4ff49cb6
LP
96* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
97
fff87a35
ZJS
98* test/:
99 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
100 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
101 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
102
103* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
104
105* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
106
3df82d5a
LP
107* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
108 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
109 file.
110
5666ea6f
KS
111* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
112 kmod static-nodes
113 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 114
b5c03638
LP
115* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
116 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
117 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
118 destination.
119
752beb0c
LP
120* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
121
eece8c6f
LP
122* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
123 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
124
d325d9bc
KS
125* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
126 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
127 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 128
356ce991
LP
129* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
130
131* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
132
bfa00bc6
LP
133* we should log capabilities too
134
3b953d68
JT
135* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
136 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
137 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
138 old.
139
09f727ee
LP
140* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
141 need manual exponential loops after all
142
795607b2
LP
143* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
144 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
145 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
146 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
147
795607b2
LP
148* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
149
0be8342c
LP
150* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
151 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
152 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
153 that automatically.
154
487060c2
LP
155* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
156
e5ec62c5 157* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 158
826872b6
LP
159* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
160
54c31a79 161* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 162
8973790e 163* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
164
165* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
166
167* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
168
169* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
170
171* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
172
173* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
174
3679d112
LP
175* man: add more examples to man pages
176
177* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
178
3679d112
LP
179* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
180
181* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
182
183* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
184 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
185 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
186 individually.
187
cbb77121
LP
188* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
189
d01a73b6
LP
190* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
191
990ffbe5 192* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
193 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
194
195* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
196 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
197 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
198 will be activated.
199
356ce991 200* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 201
81d112a8 202* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 203
b44be3ec
LP
204* EFI:
205 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
206 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
207 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
208 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
209 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 210
c0fe5db5 211* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 212
b44be3ec 213* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 214
b44be3ec
LP
215* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
216 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 217
b44be3ec 218* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 219
b44be3ec 220* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 221
b44be3ec
LP
222* logind:
223 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
224 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
225 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
226 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
227 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
228 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
229 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
230 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 231 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 232 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 233 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 234
b44be3ec 235* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 236
b44be3ec 237* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 238
b44be3ec 239* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 240
b44be3ec 241* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
242 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
243 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
244 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 245 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
246 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
247 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
248 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
249 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
250 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
251 - journal: reuse XZ context
252 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
253 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
254 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
255 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
256 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
257 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
258 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 259 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
260 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
261 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
262 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 263 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
264 - 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.
265 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
266 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
267 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
268 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 269 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
270 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
271 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
272 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
273 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
274 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
275 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
276 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
277 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
278 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
279
280* document:
281 - document unit_name_mangle()
282 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
283 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
284 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
285 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
286 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
287 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 288 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 289 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
290
291* systemctl:
292 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
293 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
294 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
295 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
296 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
297 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
298 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
299 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
300 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
301 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
302 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
303 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
304 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 305
e673ad04
LP
306* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
307
b44be3ec
LP
308* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
309
310* timer units:
311 - configurable jitter for timer events
312 - timer events with system resume
313 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
314 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
315 o DST changes
eb124a97 316 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
317
318* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
319
320* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
321 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
322 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 323 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 324 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 325 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 326
6c1703cc
KS
327* hwdb:
328 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
329 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 330
59704f3e
LP
331* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
332 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
333 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 334
e707c494
LP
335* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
336 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
337 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
338 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
339 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
340 better supported alternative.
e707c494 341
e707c494
LP
342* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
343
a19554ed
LP
344* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
345
1cb88f2c
LP
346* 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().
347
348* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
349* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
350* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 351
b44be3ec 352* timedated:
b44be3ec 353 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 354
a7a3f28b
LP
355* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
356
9b27910b
LP
357* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
358
b44be3ec 359* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 360
7d8197d1
KS
361* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
362 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
363 - superset of tmpfiles model
364 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
365 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
366 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
367
9ee58bdd
KS
368* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
369 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 370
71ef24d0
LP
371* high level net_prio setting in execution context
372
71ef24d0
LP
373* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
374
1b89884b
LP
375* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
376
15abdb9a 377* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 378
b44be3ec
LP
379* nspawn:
380 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
381 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
382 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
383 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
384 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
385 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
386 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network

68f16003
LP
430* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
431 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
432 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
433 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 434 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 435 but much rather a disconnect on success.

645 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
646 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
647 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
648 the RTC to sync up.
