KS
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.
20ffc4c4 13

KS
14* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
15 the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
16 as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
17 that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
18 env variable:
19 $ cat /proc/252/environ

466784c8 22Fedora 20:
3679d112 23
a4cc3e5c
LP
24* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
25 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
26 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 27 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 28
7e2c2bcf 29* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 30 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 31
81d112a8 32* localed:
81d112a8
LP
33 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
34
55d32caf 35* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink

38CGroup Rework Completion:
39
bafb15ba
LP
40* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
41
42* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
43
44* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
45
46* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
47
48* logind: implement session kill exceptions
49
bafb15ba
LP
50* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
51
049b4474 52* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba 53
61ad59b1 54* wiki: document new bus APIs of PID 1
bafb15ba 55
248aa28f
LP
56* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
57
eb124a97 58Features:
154ff088 59
e1b7e7ec
LP
60* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work we can
61 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
62
6aaa8c2f 63* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 64
e7256c5c
LP
65* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
66
042e33ae
LP
67* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
68
e1b7e7ec 69* 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 70
36c0868b
LP
71* 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
72
fa7deadb
LP
73* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
74
c5757cc8 75* "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, should
69af4503 76 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
c5757cc8
LP
77 unit however should remove them all).
78
79* journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
80
69af4503 81* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log priority are logged, sync() immediately.
d907c208 82
d907c208
LP
83* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
84
049b4474
LP
85* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
86
bdeeb6b5
LP
87* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
88 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
89 to syslog when it works again.
90
91* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
92
93* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
94
95* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
96
174da5c5
LP
97* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
98
fb6becb4
LP
99* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
100
fb6becb4
LP
101* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
102
6c12b52e
LP
103* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
104
11ddb6f4
LP
105* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
106
7041efe9
LP
107* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
108
b42defe3
LP
109* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
110
4ad49000 111* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 112
9444b1f2
LP
113* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
114 validity of session name before appending it to a path
115
9444b1f2 116* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 117 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 118 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
119 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
120 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 121
a016b922
LP
122* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
123 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
124
a016b922
LP
125* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
126 the hierarchies of child processes
127
1f263d4d
LP
128* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
129
9444b1f2 130* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
131
132* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
133
4e09014d
LP
134* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
135
136* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
137
a65f06bb 138* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
139 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
140 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
141 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
142
143* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
144 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
145
eb01ba5d
LP
146* libsystemd-bus:
147 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
148 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 149 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
150 - implement translator service
151 - port systemd to new library
152 - implement busname unit type in systemd
153 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 154 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 155 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 156 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
157 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
158 - implement monitor logic
159 - object vtable logic
160 - longer term:
161 * priority queues
86312ab8 162 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 163
154ff088
LP
164* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
165 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
166 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
167
7e853a9b
LP
168* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
169 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
170 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
171 kernel.
172
d686f034
LP
173* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
174 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
175
69af4503 176* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 177
69af4503 178* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 179
461bd8e4
LP
180* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
181 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
182
ab8e074c
LP
183* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
184 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
185 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
186 needs setuid().
187
188* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
189
190* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
191
b454b112
LP
192* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
193
194* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
195
4a449ed7 196* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 197
4a449ed7
LP
198* we need dynamic units
199
4ff49cb6
LP
200* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
201
fff87a35
ZJS
202* test/:
203 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
204 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
205 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd 206
b8b4d3dd
LP
207* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
208
3df82d5a
LP
209* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
210 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
211 file.
212
b5c03638
LP
213* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
214 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
215 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
216 destination.
217
752beb0c
LP
218* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
219
eece8c6f
LP
220* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
221 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
222
356ce991
LP
223* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
224
225* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
226
3b953d68
JT
227* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
228 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
229 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
230 old.
231
09f727ee
LP
232* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
233 need manual exponential loops after all
234
795607b2
LP
235* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
236 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
237 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
238 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
239
795607b2
LP
240* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
241
0be8342c
LP
242* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
243 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
244 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
245 that automatically.
246
69af4503 247* rework specifier logic so that we can distinguish OOM errors from other errors
487060c2 248
e5ec62c5 249* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 250
826872b6
LP
251* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
252
54c31a79 253* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 254
8973790e 255* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112 256
69af4503 257* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapse and the time the units ran last
3679d112
LP
258
259* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
260
261* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
262
69af4503 263* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
3679d112
LP
264
265* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
266
3679d112
LP
267* man: add more examples to man pages
268
269* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
270
3679d112
LP
271* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
272
273* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
274
275* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
276 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
277 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
278 individually.
279
cbb77121
LP
280* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
281
d01a73b6
LP
282* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
283
990ffbe5 284* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
285 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
286
287* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
288 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
289 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
290 will be activated.
291
356ce991 292* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 293
81d112a8 294* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 295
b44be3ec
LP
296* EFI:
297 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
298 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
299 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
300 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 301 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 302
c0fe5db5 303* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 304
b44be3ec 305* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 306
b44be3ec
LP
307* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
308 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 309
b44be3ec 310* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 311
b44be3ec 312* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 313
b44be3ec
LP
314* logind:
315 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
316 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
317 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
318 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
319 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
320 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
321 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
322 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 323 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 324 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 325 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 326
b44be3ec 327* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 328
b44be3ec 329* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 330
b44be3ec 331* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 332
b44be3ec 333* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
334 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
335 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
336 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 337 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
338 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
339 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
340 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
341 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
342 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
343 - journal: reuse XZ context
344 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
345 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
346 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
347 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
348 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
349 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
350 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 351 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
352 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
353 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
354 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 355 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
356 - 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.
357 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
358 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 359 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 360 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
361 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
362 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
363 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
364 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 365 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
366 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
367 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
368 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
369 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
370
371* document:
372 - document unit_name_mangle()
373 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
374 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
375 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
376 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
377 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
378 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 379 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 380 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
381
382* systemctl:
383 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
384 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
385 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
386 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
387 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
388 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
389 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
390 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
391 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
392 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
393 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
394 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
395 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"

402 - configurable jitter for timer events
403 - timer events with system resume
404 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
405 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
406 o DST changes

411* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
412 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
413 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 414 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 415 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 416 user did not request anything like it.

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

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

520 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 521 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
