2* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
c904f64d
LP
4* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
f957632b
KS
6* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9
9a366075
LP
10* make polkit checks async
11
a40593a0 12* 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
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
eb124a97 27Features:
154ff088 28
4e09014d
LP
29* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
30
31* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
32
33* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
34 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
35 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
36 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
37
38* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
39 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
40
d5a2b9a6
LP
41* libsystemd-journal:
42 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
43
eb01ba5d
LP
44* libsystemd-bus:
45 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
46 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 47 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
48 - implement translator service
49 - port systemd to new library
50 - implement busname unit type in systemd
51 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 52 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 53 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 54 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
55 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
56 - implement monitor logic
57 - object vtable logic
58 - longer term:
59 * priority queues
86312ab8 60 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 61
154ff088
LP
62* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
63 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
65
7e853a9b
LP
66* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
67 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
68 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
69 kernel.
70
d686f034
LP
71* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
72 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
73
19aa7c4f
LP
74* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
75
aa96c6cb 76* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 77
ef3b5246
LP
78* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
79 without dropping the location cache entirely.
80
461bd8e4
LP
81* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
82 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
83
ab8e074c
LP
84* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
85 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
86 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
87 needs setuid().
88
89* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
90
91* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
92
b454b112
LP
93* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
94
95* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
96
4a449ed7 97* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 98
4a449ed7
LP
99* we need dynamic units
100
4ff49cb6
LP
101* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
102
fff87a35
ZJS
103* test/:
104 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
105 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
106 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
107
108* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
109
110* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
111
3df82d5a
LP
112* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
113 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
114 file.
115
5666ea6f
KS
116* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
117 kmod static-nodes
118 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 119
b5c03638
LP
120* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
121 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
122 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
123 destination.
124
752beb0c
LP
125* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
126
eece8c6f
LP
127* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
128 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
129
d325d9bc
KS
130* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
131 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
132 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 133
356ce991
LP
134* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
135
136* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
137
bfa00bc6
LP
138* we should log capabilities too
139
3b953d68
JT
140* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
141 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
142 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
143 old.
144
09f727ee
LP
145* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
146 need manual exponential loops after all
147
795607b2
LP
148* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
149 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
150 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
151 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
152
795607b2
LP
153* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
154
0be8342c
LP
155* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
156 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
157 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
158 that automatically.
159
487060c2
LP
160* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
161
e5ec62c5 162* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 163
826872b6
LP
164* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
165
54c31a79 166* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 167
8973790e 168* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
169
170* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
171
172* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
173
174* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
175
176* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
177
178* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
179
3679d112
LP
180* man: add more examples to man pages
181
182* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
183
3679d112
LP
184* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
185
186* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
187
188* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
189 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
190 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
191 individually.
192
cbb77121
LP
193* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
194
d01a73b6
LP
195* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
196
990ffbe5 197* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
198 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
199
200* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
201 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
202 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
203 will be activated.
204
356ce991 205* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 206
81d112a8 207* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 208
b44be3ec
LP
209* EFI:
210 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
211 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
212 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
213 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
214 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 215
c0fe5db5 216* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 217
b44be3ec 218* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 219
b44be3ec
LP
220* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
221 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 222
b44be3ec 223* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 224
b44be3ec 225* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 226
b44be3ec
LP
227* logind:
228 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
229 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
230 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
231 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
232 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
233 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
234 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
235 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 236 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 237 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 238 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 239
b44be3ec 240* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 241
b44be3ec 242* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 243
b44be3ec 244* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 245
b44be3ec 246* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
247 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
248 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
249 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 250 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
251 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
252 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
253 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
254 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
255 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
256 - journal: reuse XZ context
257 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
258 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
259 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
260 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
261 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
262 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
263 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 264 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
265 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
266 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
267 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 268 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
269 - 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.
270 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
271 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
272 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
273 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 274 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
275 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
276 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
277 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
278 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
279 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
280 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
281 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
282 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
283 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
284
285* document:
286 - document unit_name_mangle()
287 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
288 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
289 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
290 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
291 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
292 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 293 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 294 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
295
296* systemctl:
297 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
298 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
299 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
300 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
301 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
302 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
303 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
304 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
305 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
306 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
307 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
308 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
309 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 310
e673ad04
LP
311* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
312
b44be3ec
LP
313* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
314
315* timer units:
316 - configurable jitter for timer events
317 - timer events with system resume
318 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
319 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
320 o DST changes
eb124a97 321 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
322
323* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
324
325* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
326 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
327 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 328 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 329 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 330 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 331
6c1703cc
KS
332* hwdb:
333 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
334 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 335
59704f3e
LP
336* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
337 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
338 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 339
e707c494
LP
340* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
341 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
342 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
343 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
344 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
345 better supported alternative.
e707c494 346
e707c494
LP
347* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
348
a19554ed
LP
349* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
350
1cb88f2c
LP
351* 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().
352
353* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
354* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
355* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 356
b44be3ec 357* timedated:
b44be3ec 358 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 359
a7a3f28b
LP
360* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
361
9b27910b
LP
362* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
363
b44be3ec 364* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 365
7d8197d1
KS
366* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
367 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
368 - superset of tmpfiles model
369 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
370 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
371 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
372
9ee58bdd
KS
373* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
374 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 375
71ef24d0
LP
376* high level net_prio setting in execution context
377
71ef24d0
LP
378* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
379
1b89884b
LP
380* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
381
15abdb9a 382* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 383
b44be3ec
LP
384* nspawn:
385 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
386 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
387 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
388 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
389 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn

LP
435* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
436 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
437 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
438 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 439 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 440 but much rather a disconnect on success.

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