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.

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

f38afcd0 10External:
f85857df 11
f38afcd0 12* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.

14Janitorial Clean-ups:
15
5e524b40
LP
16* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
17
bb527e11
LP
18* rework mount.c and swap.c to follow proper state enumeration/deserialization
19 semantics, like we do for device.c now

LP
21Features:
22
33295214
LP
23* sd-boot: define a drop-in dir in the ESP that may contain X.509
24 certificates. If the firmware is detected to be in setup mode, automaticallly
25 enroll them as PK/KEK/db, turn off setup mode and proceed. Optionally,
26 instead of auto-enrolling them add them to the sd-boot menu, giving the user
27 the option to manually enroll them, after selecting the menu entry. This way,
28 installer images can just drop the certfiicates in the ESP, and on first boot
29 can easily enroll the keys without ever booting up.
30
31* efi stub: optionally, load initrd from disk as a separate file, HMAC check it
32 with key from TPM, bound to PCR, refusing if failing. This would then allow
33 traditional distros that generate initrds locally to secure them with TPM:
34 after generating the initrd, do the HMAC calculation, put result in initrd
35 filename, done. This would then bind the validity of the initrd to the local
36 host, and used kernel, and means people cannot change initrd or kernel
37 without booting the kernel + initrd.
38
14f7d087
LP
39* importd: add ability download images for portabled + sysext
40
41* importd: support image signature verification with PKCS#7 + OpenBSD signify
42 logic, as alternative to crummy gpg
43
44* sd-boot: add service that automatically runs "bootctl update" on every boot,
45 in a graceful way, so that updated /usr trees automatically propagate into
46 updated boot loaders on reboot.
47
9786ba13
LP
48* add "systemd-analyze debug" + AttachDebugger= in unit files: The former
49 specifies a command to execute; the latter specifies that an already running
50 "systemd-analyze debug" instance shall be contacted and execution paused
51 until it gives an OK. That way, tools like gdb or strace can be safely be
52 invoked on processes forked off PID 1.
53
38abd1bf
LP
54* expose MS_NOSYMFOLLOW in various places
55
9aea1e58
LP
56* tpm2: support a PIN policy, i.e. allowing windows-style short authentication
57 passwords by using the TPM2 to enforce ratelimiting and such, use for
58 cryptsetup and homed
59
80670e74
LP
60* Add concept for upgrading TPM2 enrollments, maybe a new switch
61 --pcrs=4:<hash> or so, i.e. select a PCR to include in the hash, and then
62 override its hash
63
64* homed: store PKCS#11 + FIDO2 token info in LUKS2 header, compatible with
65 systemd-cryptsetup, so that it can unlock homed volumes
66
67* cryptenroll: politely refuse enrolling new keys to homed volumes, since we
68 we cannot update identity info
69
70* TPM2: auto-reenroll in cryptsetup, as fallback for hosed firmware upgrades
71 and such
72
73* cryptsetup: if only recovery keys are registered and no regular passphrases,
74 ask user for "recovery key", not "passphrase"
75
76* cyptsetup: add option for automatically removing empty password slot on boot
77
7d7c75f1 78* cryptsetup: optionally, when run during boot-up and password is never
80670e74
LP
79 entered, and we are on battery power (or so), power off machine again
80
81* cryptsetup: when FIDO2/PKCS#11/TPM2 token/chip didn't show up after some
82 time, abort the attempt, fallback to asking for pw
83
84* cryptsetup: when waiting for FIDO2/PKCS#11 token, tell plymouth that, and
85 allow plymouth to abort the waiting and enter pw instead
7d7c75f1
LP
86
87* when configuring loopback netif, and it fails due to EPERM, eat up error if
88 it happens to be set up alright already.
89
90* at boot: check if battery above some threshold, if not power off again after explanation
91
92* userdb: add field for ambient caps, so that a user can have CAP_WAKE_ALARM
93 for example. And add code that resets ambient caps for all services by
94 default.
95
d72ff2df
LP
96* homed: try to unmount in regular intervals when home dir was busy when we
97 tried because idle.
98
ff640bd2
LP
99* sd-bus: when connecting to some dbus server socker, set originating AF_UNIX
100 socket name in abstract namespace to include "description" string, and pick
101 it up from there in sd_bus_creds logic. i.e. we can use the socket peer
102 address as conduit for some minimal connection metainfo, and use it to
103 restore the "description" logic that kdbus used to have.
104
377a9545 105* teach LoadCredential= the ability to load all files from a specified dir as
3b8a2160
LP
106 individual creds
107
08d33656 108* systemd-analyze netif that explains predictable interface (or networkctl)
d775d8e6 109
08d33656 110* port selinux code from mallinfo() to mallinfo2() once added to glibc
d775d8e6 111
816d460a
LP
112* Add service setting to run a service within the specified VRF. i.e. do the
113 equivalent of "ip vrf exec".
114
6d3702f9
LP
115* export action of device object on sd-device, so that monitor becomes useful
116
1817be80
LP
117* add root=tmpfs that mounts a tmpfs to /sysroot (to be used in combination
118 with usr=…, for a similar effect as systemd.volatile=yes but without the
119 "hide-out" effect). Also, add root=gpt-auto-late support or so, that is like
120 root=gpt-auto but initially mounts a tmpfs to /sysroot, and then revisits
121 later after systemd-repart ran. Usecase: let's ship images with only /usr
122 partition, then on first boot create the root partition. In this case we want
123 to read the repart data from /usr before the root partition exists. Add
124 usr=gpt-auto that automatically finds a /usr partition.
125
e59d030f
LP
126* change SwitchRoot() implementation in PID 1 to use pivot_root(".", "."), as
127 documented in the pivot_root(2) man page, so that we can drop the /oldroot
128 temporary dir.
129
130* special case some calls of chase_symlinks() to use openat2() internally, so
131 that the kernel does what we otherwise do.
132
1817be80 133* homed: keep an fd to the homedir open at all times, to keep the fs pinned
377a9545 134 (autofs and such) while user is logged in.
bb970e57 135
1817be80 136* nss-systemd: also synthesize shadow records for users/groups
38821a0e 137
fc733bed
LP
138* make use of new glibc 2.32 APIs sigabbrev_np() and strerrorname_np().
139
fdc6c4f4
LP
140* when main nspawn supervisor process gets suspended due to SIGSTOP/SIGTTOU or
141 so, freeze the payload too.
142
42165319
LP
143* repart: support setting up dm-integrity with HMAC
144
145* add /etc/integritytab, to support dm-integrity setups. In particular those
146 with HMAC as hash function, so that we can have a protected /home without
147 encryption (leaving encryption to the individual dirs/homed).
148
16a4a2f8
LP
149* complement root=, rootflags=, rootfstype= with rootsubdir= which allows
150 mounting a subdir of the root fs as actual root. This can be used as
151 fstype-agnostic version of btrfs' rootflags=subvol=foobar.
152
effefa30
LP
153* if /usr/bin/swapoff fails due to OOM, log a friendly explanatory message about it
154
6ae8c6f5
LP
155* build short web pages out of each catalog entry, build them along with man
156 pages, and include hyperlinks to them in the journal output
157
d08a6ec3
LP
158* machined: add API to acquire UID range. add API to mount/dissect loopback
159 file. Both protected by PK. Then make nspawn use these APIs to run
160 unprivileged containers. i.e. push the truly privileged bits into machined,
161 so that the client side can remain entirely unprivileged, with SUID or
162 anything like that.
163
5c0102f8 164* journald: do journal file writing out-of-process, with one writer process per
cb713f16 165 client UID, so that synthetic hash table collisions can slow down a specific
5c0102f8
LP
166 user's journal stream down but not the others.
167
f1eb0ccd
LP
168* nspawn: support time namespaces
169
737ec514
LP
170* systemd-firstboot: make sure to always use chase_symlinks() before
171 reading/writing files
172
42ba8d25
LP
173* Remove any support for booting without /usr pre-mounted in the initrd entirely.
174 Update INITRD_INTERFACE.md accordingly.
175
f1eb0ccd
LP
176* pid1: Move to tracking of main pid/control pid of units per pidfd
177
178* pid1: support new clone3() fork-into-cgroup feature
179
7cc8fb3e
LP
180* pid1: also remove PID files of a service when the service starts, not just
181 when it exits
182
cdfd8537
LP
183* make us use dynamically fewer deps for containers in general purpose distros:
184 o turn into dlopen() deps:
cdfd8537
LP
185 - elfutils (always)
186 - p11-kit-trust (always)
187 - kmod-libs (only when called from PID 1)
a52dc0b6 188 - libblkid (only in RootImage= handling in PID 1, but not elsewhere)
cdfd8537
LP
189 - libpam (only when called from PID 1)
190 - bzip2, xz, lz4 (always — gzip and zstd should probably stay static deps the way they are,
191 since they are so basic and our defaults)
192 o move into separate libsystemd-shared-iptables.so .so
193 - iptables-libs (only used by nspawn + networkd)
194
77169ed0
LP
195* seccomp: maybe use seccomp_merge() to merge our filters per-arch if we can.
196 Apparently kernel performance is much better with fewer larger seccomp
197 filters than with more smaller seccomp filters.
198
bfafec25
LP
199* systemd-path: add ESP and XBOOTLDR path. Add "private" runtime/state/cache dir enum,
200 mapping to $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY, $STATE_DIRECTORY and such
201
a6e1018d 202* All tools that support --root= should also learn --image= so that they can
612d3a68
LP
203 operate on disk images directly. Specifically: bootctl, systemctl,
204 coredumpctl. (Already done: systemd-nspawn, systemd-firstboot,
205 systemd-repart, systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-sysusers, journalctl)
a6e1018d 206
112bed84
LP
207* seccomp: by default mask x32 ABI system wide on x86-64. it's on its way out
208
209* seccomp: don't install filters for ABIs that are masked anyway for the
210 specific service
211
212* seccomp: maybe merge all filters we install into one with that libseccomp API that allows merging.
213
fabece9c
LP
214* credentials system:
215 - maybe add AcquireCredential= for querying a cred via ask-password
216 - maybe try to acquire creds via keyring?
217 - maybe try to pass creds via keyring?
218 - maybe optionally pass creds via memfd
219 - maybe add support for decrypting creds via TPM
220 - maybe add support for decrypting/importing creds via pkcs11
221 - make systemd-cryptsetup acquire pw via creds logic
222 - make PAMName= acquire pw via creds logic
223 - make macsec/wireguard code in networkd read key via creds logic
224 - make gatwayd/remote read key via creds logic
225 - add sd_notify() command for flushing out creds not needed anymore
a6e1018d 226
a6e1018d
LP
227* homed: during login resize fs automatically towards size goal. Specifically,
228 resize to diskSize if possible, but leave a certain amount (configured by a
229 new value diskLeaveFreeSize) of space free on the backing fs.
230
f1eb0ccd
LP
231* homed: permit multiple user record signing keys to be used locally, and pick
232 the right one for signing records automatically depending on a pre-existing
233 signature
1f7c6f90
LP
234
235* homed: add a way to "adopt" a home directory, i.e. strip foreign signatures
236 and insert a local signature instead.
237
15981c26
LP
238* homed: as an extension to the directory+subvolume backend: if located on
239 especially marked fs, then sync down password into LUKS header of that fs,
240 and always verify passwords against it too. Bootstrapping is a problem
15dd4515 241 though: if no one is logged in (or no other user even exists yet), how do you
15981c26
LP
242 unlock the volume in order to create the first user and add the first pw.
243
f1eb0ccd
LP
244* homed: support new FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl for setting up fscrypt
245
c5ca6d90
LP
246* homed: maybe pre-create ~/.cache as subvol so that it can have separate quota
247 easily?
248
cbe952fe
LP
249* busctl: maybe expose a verb "ping" for pinging a dbus service to see if it
250 exists and responds.
251
6663cfd5
LP
252* when systemd-nspawn and suchlike dissect an OS image, and there are multiple
253 root partitions, do an strverscmp() on the partition label and boot
254 first. That is inspired how sd-boot figures out which kernel to boot, and
255 thus allows defining OS images which can be A/B updated and we default to the
256 newest version automatically, both in nspawn and in sd-boot
257
d200253b
LP
258* systemd-gpt-auto should probably set x-systemd.growfs on the mounts it
259 creates
260
492f91d8
LP
261* bootctl:
262 - teach it to prepare an ESP wholesale, i.e. with mkfs.vfat invocation
263 - teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
264 - make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
265
b47261e5
LP
266* Maybe add a separate GPT partition type to the discoverable partition spec
267 for "hibernate" partitions, that are exactly like swap partitions but only
268 activated right before hibernation and thus never used for regular swapping.
269
e1d32d6e
LP
270* by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
271 allow so that systemd survives
272
c809ed78
LP
273* cryptsetup: allow encoding key directly in /etc/crypttab, maybe with a
274 "base64:" prefix. Useful in particular for pkcs11 mode.
275
56a061f5
LP
276* cryptsetup: reimplement the mkswap/mke2fs in cryptsetup-generator to use
277 systemd-makefs.service instead.
278
91fc013f 279* socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
86b52a39 280 with matches, then activate app through that passing socket over
91fc013f 281
cdfd8537
LP
282* unify on openssl (as soon as OpenSSL 3.0 is out, and the Debian license
283 confusion is gone)
492f91d8
LP
284 - port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
285 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
286 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
287 - port importd over from libgcrypt
288 - when that's done: kill khash.c
289 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
290
492f91d8
LP
291* when we resize disks (homed?) always round up to 4K sectors, not 512K
292
293* add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
294 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
295
492f91d8 296* systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
86b52a39 297 that only cover the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
492f91d8
LP
298 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
299 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
300
492f91d8
LP
301* systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
302 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
303 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
304 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
305 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
306 automatically.
307
308* systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
309 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
310
006c44c1
LP
311* systemd-repart: allow managing the gpt read-only partition flag + auto-mount flag
312
b47261e5
LP
313* systemd-repart: allow boolean option that ensures that if existing partition
314 doesn't exist within the configured size bounds the whole command fails. This
315 is useful to implement ESP vs. XBOOTLDR schemes in installers: have one set
316 of repart files for the case where ESP is large enough and one where it isn't
317 and XBOOTLDR is added in instead. Then apply the former first, and if it
318 fails to apply use the latter.
319
320* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to never reuse existing partition
321 and always create anew even if matching partition already exists.
322
323* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to fail if partition already exist,
324 i.e. is not added new. Similar, add option to fail if partition does not exist yet.
325
006c44c1
LP
326* systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
327 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
328
2a4be3c5 329* systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
006c44c1
LP
330 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
331
77b19caf
LP
332* userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API, allow realname and
333 realname substr searches in varlink API
006c44c1 334
76410e98
LP
335* userdb: allow uid/gid range checks
336
2a4be3c5 337* userdb: allow existence checks
006c44c1 338
f1eb0ccd 339* pid1: activation by journal search expression
006c44c1 340
492f91d8
LP
341* when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
342 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
343 initrd had set.
344
173c7873 345* sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
84a1ff94 346 it for reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
173c7873
LP
347 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
348 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
349 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
350 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
351
352* tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
353 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
354 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
355
173c7873
LP
356* maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
357 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
358 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
359 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
360 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
361 source.
362
173c7873
LP
363* figure out automatic partition discovery when combining writable root dir
364 with immutable /usr
365
97e5cc88
LP
366* coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
367 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
368 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
369
f3e361c1
LP
370* teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
371
9ef3376b
LP
372* beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
373 the hibernation
374
c846b233
LP
375* beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
376 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
377 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
378 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
379 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
380 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
381 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
382 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
383 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
384 hibernation mode. (see
385 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
386 section 10.2.2.8 and
387 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
388 at the end).
389
f293fc51
LP
390* add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
391 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
392 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
393 output for them.
394
9c230b8f
LP
395* We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
396 that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
397 constant vendor data.
398
c6526b8d 399* maybe add kernel cmdline params: to force random seed crediting
312dc153
LP
400
401* nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
402 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
403
404* nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
405 fallback in "machinectl shell"
72bd8525 406
ac5dca64
LP
407* logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
408 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
409 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
410
c809ed78
LP
411* homed:
412 - when user tries to log into record signed by unrecognized key, automatically add key to our chain after polkit auth
c809ed78
LP
413 - rollback when resize fails mid-operation
414 - GNOME's side for forget key on suspend (requires rework so that lock screen runs outside of uid)
415 - resize on login?
c809ed78
LP
416 - shrink fs on logout?
417 - update LUKS password on login if we find there's a password that unlocks the JSON record but not the LUKS device.
418 - create on activate?
419 - properties: icon url?, preferred session type?, administrator bool (which translates to 'wheel' membership)?, address?, telephone?, vcard?, samba stuff?, parental controls?
420 - communicate clearly when usb stick is safe to remove. probably involves
421 beefing up logind to make pam session close hook synchronous and wait until
422 systemd --user is shut down.
423 - logind: maybe keep a "busy fd" as long as there's a non-released session around or the user@.service
cbe952fe
LP
424 - maybe make automatic, read-only, time-based reflink-copies of LUKS disk
425 images (and btrfs snapshots of subvolumes) (think: time machine)
86b52a39 426 - 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
427 - in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
428 - fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
429 - make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
c809ed78 430 - make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
c809ed78
LP
431 - query password from kernel keyring first
432 - update even if record is "absent"
433 - add a "access mode" + "fstype" field to the "status" section of json identity records reflecting the actually used access mode and fstype, even on non-luks backends
434 - move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
435 - when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
436 - make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
437 - logind: populate auto-login list bus property from PKCS#11 token
438 - when determining state of a LUKS home directory, check DM suspended sysfs file
cbe952fe
LP
439 - introduce API for "making room", that grows/shrinks home directory
440 according to elastic parameters, discards blocks, and removes additional snapshots. Call it
441 either from UI when disk space gets low
c809ed78 442
ac5dca64
LP
443* introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
444 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
445 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
446 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
447 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
448 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
449 exec().
450
451* let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
452
5daeeecf
LP
453* when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
454 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
455
5802d977
LP
456* introduce a new group to own TPM devices
457
458* make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
459 gnome-bluetooth and friends
460
d84520e9
LP
461* tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
462 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
463 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
464 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
465 cgroup.
466
03ccc7f0
LP
467* make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
468 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
469 root.
470
471* maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
472 is issued.
473
db3cea22
LP
474* when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
475
476* when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
477
707b3fbd
LP
478* Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
479 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
480 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
d7b659ef 481
d238709c 482* rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
d96c081a
LP
483 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
484 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
485
06bd149a
LP
486* add a concept for automatically loading per-unit secrets off disk and
487 inserting them into the kernel keyring. Maybe SecretsDirectory= similar to
488 ConfigurationDirectory=.
489
8a7cf157
LP
490* when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
491
d3584ec4 492* bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
fe1bff15 493
d96c081a
LP
494* add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
495 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
496
06898123 497* paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
309c6b19 498 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
9ae4ef49 499 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
06898123 500
32875617
LP
501* Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
502
503* support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
504 patching around
505
76853293
LP
506* maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
507 log.c and sd-journal-send
508
06898123
LP
509* optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
510
d3aeddb8
LP
511* introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
512
42e18088
LP
513* sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
514 can add in file system drivers and such
515
42e18088
LP
516* sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
517 non-zero "tries done" count
518
8f2eb730
LP
519* introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
520 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
521 it should skip the variant type string though.
522
523* augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
524 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
525 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
526 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
527 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
528 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
529 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
530 CODE_FILE.
531
8f2eb730
LP
532* Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
533 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
534 some explanatory text online.
535
7bd4bcf7
LP
536* maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
537
a33ffd15
LP
538* Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
539 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
540 the slices, and the units attached to them.
541
20d4b101
LP
542* the a-posteriori stopping of units bound to units that disappeared logic
543 should be reworked: there should be a queue of units, and we should only
bc130b68 544 enqueue stop jobs from a defer event that processes queue instead of
20d4b101
LP
545 right-away when we find a unit that is bound to one that doesn't exist
546 anymore. (similar to how the stop-unneeded queue has been reworked the same
547 way)
4e8113bb 548
126708fa
LP
549* nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
550 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
551 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
552
bb527e11
LP
553* When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
554 original defaults before calling parse_config()
555
72d711ef 556* nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
c7db2a9d 557
c633b0a6
LP
558* hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
559 Specifically:
560
561 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
562 properly)
e83419d0 563 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
46c41478 564 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
c633b0a6 565
070d0ac9
LP
566* cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
567 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
568
e44924f5
LP
569* beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
570 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
571 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
572 files and suchlike we operate on.
070d0ac9 573
8c4c2dfc
LP
574* add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
575
576* add attach --enable and attach --now (for attach+enable+start)
577
578* sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
579 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
580
5da19043 581* Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
5238e957 582 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
5da19043
LP
583 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
584 numbers.
585
16270697
LP
586* Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
587 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
588 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
589 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
590 unlinked from any dir.
591
bd1b3f75 592* port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
5da19043 593
7bc756ff
LP
594* pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
595
596* add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
597
53c70a27
LP
598* introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
599 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
600 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
601 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
602 should reflink the image file itself.
603
604 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
605 specific paths only like this.
606
53c70a27 607* add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
5238e957 608 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
53c70a27
LP
609 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
610 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
2aed63f4 611 images, for example fall back to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
53c70a27 612
d9b50610
LP
613* show invocation ID in systemd-run output
614
615* bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
616
9711b1ad
LP
617* add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
618 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
619
1e784321
LP
620* teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
621 project quota
0d545655 622
6b7b0f39
LP
623* introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
624 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
625 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
626 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
627 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
628 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
629 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:
630 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-February/040369.html
631
aa79f932
LP
632* maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
633 for root, but only then.
586a8e93 634
46099c9e
LP
635* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
636
46099c9e
LP
637* calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
638 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
639
c3cd7cc9
LP
640* sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
641 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
642
d0e5db44
ZJS
643* sd-bus: parse addresses given in sd_bus_set_addresses immediately and not
644 only when used. Add unit tests.
645
06345858
LP
646* make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
647 host-side interface pointing to the container.
648
48f1b5e5
LP
649* add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
650 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
651 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
652 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
653 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
654
cb77e122 655* taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
c6009ff0 656
899feb72 657* deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
c6009ff0 658
3d80d454
LP
659* add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
660 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
661 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
662
5f7ecd61 663* support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
5962e9db 664
17b6f896
LP
665* add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
666 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
667
17b6f896
LP
668* blog about fd store and restartable services
669
670* document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
671
370f9c21
LP
672* rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
673 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
674
17b6f896
LP
675* in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
676 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
677 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
678 ID is available.
679
680* optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
681 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
682 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
683
e7e4a258
LP
684* beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
685 parameters
686
6fc373ee 687* maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
d51c4fca 688 the quota of the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
5962e9db
LP
689 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
690 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
691 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
692 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
693 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
6fc373ee 694
9a92a97a
LP
695* In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
696 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
697
2368e974
LP
698* add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
699 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
700 wait to retrieve their exit data.
701
fa991fb7
LP
702* expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
703 about it in the resource log message
704
fa991fb7
LP
705* show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
706 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
707
d73b607d
LP
708* Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
709 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
710 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
711
fd63f36c
LP
712* add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
713 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
714
715 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
716
3576dddf
LP
717* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
718 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
719 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
720 logging.
721
fe6a0235
LP
722* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
723 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
724 "convertible" form factor
725
f59d1da8
LP
726* Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
727 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
728 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
729
33bac67b
LP
730* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
731 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
732
733* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
734 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
735 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
736 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
737 natural habitat.
738
8eb7383b
LP
739* gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
740 partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
741 /usr is mounted into.
742
8eb7383b
LP
743* 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
744
67234d21
LP
745* drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
746
b5bdbcd5
LP
747* add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
748 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
749 relative to the configured default value.
750
d21494ea
LP
751* in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
752
753* enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
754
04397464 755* Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
d82047be 756
d82047be
LP
757* nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
758
d82047be
LP
759* define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
760
42d61ded
LP
761* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
762
04397464 763* ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
42d61ded 764
04397464 765* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
563a69f4 766
04397464 767* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
2c5f2958 768
8ce9b83a 769* RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
a46eac1b
LP
770
771* ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
772 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
773 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
774
e40a326c 775* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
89f193fa 776
6809de5b
LP
777* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
778
2c5f2958
LP
779* mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
780 partitions
781
8ce9b83a
LP
782* in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
783 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
784 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
785 mapping to work.
786
2c5f2958
LP
787* add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
788
789* add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
790
791* add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
792
b8c7afdf
LP
793* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
794 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
795
1e555cb5
LP
796* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
797 reload the unit file anyway
798
1e555cb5
LP
799* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
800 from the SIGBUS handler
801
c8048350
LP
802* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
803
648b1220
LP
804* delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
805 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
806
3d39e6e5
LP
807* cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
808
bd098bce
LP
809* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
810 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
811
f9bf1b8f 812* add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
de7399eb 813 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
f9bf1b8f 814 specifications.
de7399eb 815
3efc8c72
LP
816* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
817
5ebbb45b 818* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
03364e47 819
e6a26d8c
LP
820* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
821
a2088fd0 822* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
5238e957 823 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
a2088fd0
LP
824 prefixed with /sys generally special.

829* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
830

LP
831* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
832 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
833 state.

LP
836* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
837 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
838 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
839 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
840 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.

98cd2651 846
2a441c8a
LP
847* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
848 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
849 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
850 do, for example)
851
0a86c1a9

852* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
853 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html

8514b677
LP
858* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
859
7b0fce61
LP
860* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
861 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
862 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
863 returning from the "systemctl stop".
864
b568ef14 865* 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 866
d48b7bd2
LP
867* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
868
8483d73f
LP
869* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
870 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
871
25e773ee 872* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
b857e042 873
279f0366 874* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
533bb267 875
720652b3 876* exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
42aeb14a 877
720652b3 878* timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
e25b5a8d 879

LP
880* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....

ccc3e8a1
LP
887 - service registration

0f47ed0a 889 - avahi compat
9d6db739 890 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
e25b5a8d
DH
891 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
892 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
893 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
720652b3 894 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
3efb871a 895 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
3f77a1b1 896
e25b5a8d 897* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked

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

LP
907* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
908
81429136
KS
909* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
910 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
e107ed18 911
edb2935c
LP
912* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
913
6a3f892a 914* gpt-auto-generator:
2a781fc9 915 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
6a3f892a 916 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
6a3f892a 917
65026403
LP
918* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
919 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
920 when it is otherwise off
f8901862 921
f9bf1b8f 922* MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
eda8f067 923
af1082b0
LP
924* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
925 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
926 for ReusePort=
927
f38afcd0 928* cgroups:
f38afcd0 929 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
f38afcd0
LP
930 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
931 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
932 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
933 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
934 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 935
f38afcd0 936* transient units:
f38afcd0 937 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
ebcf1f97 938
718db961
LP
939* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
940
718db961
LP
941* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
942
966204e0
LP
943* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
944
41644622
LP
945* 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
946
7f79cd71 947* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 948
19aadacf
JE
949* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
950 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
951 path anyway.
952
04397464 953* refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
fcba531e 954
bdeeb6b5
LP
955* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
956
957* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
958
6bb648a1 959* sd-bus:
0d43ffef 960 - EBADSLT handling
fa607802 961 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
7212c608 962 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
57f2a947 963 - 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 964 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0 965 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
ab9716c2 966 - longer term: priority inheritance
df98a87b 967 - dbus spec updates:
df98a87b
LP
968 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
969 - GVariant
2ecfc64e 970 - path escaping
6a8b5fa4 971 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
f38afcd0
LP
972
973* sd-event
12179984 974 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
0536ce5d 975 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
e25b5a8d 976 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
f6ad6248
LP
977 - maybe support iouring as backend, so that we allow hooking read and write
978 operations instead of IO ready events into event loops. See considerations
979 here:
980 http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/07/rethinking-event-loop-integration-for.html
eb01ba5d 981
69af4503 982* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 983
461bd8e4
LP
984* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
985 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
986
ab8e074c
LP
987* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
988
989* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
990
fff87a35 991* test/:
20d52ab6 992 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
b8b4d3dd 993
b5c03638 994* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
d28315e4 995 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
b5c03638
LP
996 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
997 destination.
998
eece8c6f
LP
999* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
1000 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
1001
356ce991
LP
1002* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
1003
6daebf9e
ZJS
1004* Add ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= handle non-absoute paths as a search path or add
1005 ConditionConfigSearchPathNotEmpty= or different syntax? See the discussion starting at
1006 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15109#issuecomment-607740136.
1007
c1446921
LP
1008* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
1009 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
1010 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
1011 is installed.
795607b2 1012
0be8342c
LP
1013* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
1014 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
1015 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
1016 that automatically.
1017
e5ec62c5 1018* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 1019
ccddd104 1020* remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 1021
3679d112
LP
1022* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
1023
356ce991 1024* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 1025
b44be3ec 1026* EFI:
b44be3ec
LP
1027 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
1028 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 1029 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
631427d6 1030* bootctl
631427d6 1031 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
e4181484 1032
c0fe5db5 1033* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 1034
b44be3ec 1035* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 1036
b44be3ec 1037* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 1038
b44be3ec
LP
1039* logind:
1040 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
b44be3ec
LP
1041 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
1042 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
1043 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
f38afcd0
LP
1044 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
1045 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
1046 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
1047 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
1048 needs setuid().
279f0366
LP
1049 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
1050 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
1051 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
1052 complete.
1053 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
1054 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
1055 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
28423d9a 1056 - expose "Locked" property on logind session objects
e25b5a8d
DH
1057 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
1058 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
1059 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
1060 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
1061 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
1062 relogins
77b19caf 1063 - (optionally?) spawn seat-manager@$SEAT.service whenever a seat shows up that as CanGraphical set
e673ad04 1064
b44be3ec 1065* journal:
57f2a947 1066 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
b44be3ec
LP
1067 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
1068 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
1069 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
2aed63f4 1070 - fall back to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
b44be3ec 1071 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
b44be3ec
LP
1072 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
1073 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
1074 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
5238e957 1075 message that works, but already after a short timeout
b44be3ec
LP
1076 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
1077 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
f47ec8eb 1078 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
1079 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
1080 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
06847d0f 1081 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() in the header,
038cf334 1082 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
b44be3ec
LP
1083 - 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.
1084 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
1085 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
1086 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
1087 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
1088 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
1089 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec 1090 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 1091 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0 1092 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
f38afcd0
LP
1093 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
1094 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
1095 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
1096 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
1097 to syslog when it works again.
279f0366
LP
1098 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
1099 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
1100 journals in.
1101 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
1102 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
1103 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
1104 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
1105 the most common operations.
e25b5a8d 1106 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
e25b5a8d
DH
1107 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
1108 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
1109 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
1110 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
1111 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
1112 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
1113 operation.
1114 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
1115 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
1116 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
1117 binary logs data
e25b5a8d 1118 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
e25b5a8d
DH
1119 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
1120 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
1121 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
1122 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
06847d0f 1123 - check if loop in decompress_blob_xz() is necessary
b44be3ec 1124
590171d1
ZJS
1125* add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
1126 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
1127 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
1128 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)
1129
b44be3ec 1130* document:
8b8f2591 1131 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
b44be3ec
LP
1132 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
1133 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
b44be3ec 1134 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
f38afcd0
LP
1135 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
1136 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
f38afcd0
LP
1137 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
1138 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
5cf821ac
ZJS
1139 - man: add more examples to man pages,
1140 - in particular an example how to do the equivalent of switching runlevels
f38afcd0 1141 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
17ec531f 1142 - document root=gpt-auto properly
b44be3ec
LP
1143
1144* systemctl:
b44be3ec
LP
1145 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
1146 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
1147 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
1148 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
1149 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
1150 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
1151 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
d28315e4 1152 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
b44be3ec 1153 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
61233823 1154 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
f38afcd0
LP
1155
1156* unit install:
1157 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
1158 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
8b04b925 1159
b44be3ec 1160* timer units:
b44be3ec 1161 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
b44be3ec 1162 o DST changes
90e071d1 1163 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
d2e83c23 1164

1174
d28315e4 1175* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
1b89884b 1176
b44be3ec 1177* nspawn:
e25b5a8d
DH
1178 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
1179 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
1180 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
1181 from the kernel's logs.
1182 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
1183 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
1184 interface be missing
e25b5a8d
DH
1185 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
1186 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
1187 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
1188 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
1189 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
1190 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
1191 PID 1...
e25b5a8d
DH
1192 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
1193 running, remove them when shut down.
e25b5a8d
DH
1194
1195* machined:
e25b5a8d
DH
1196 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
1197 removed or added to an existing machine
1198 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
1199 difference host, via ssh
e25b5a8d
DH
1200 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
1201 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
1202 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
1203 question
e25b5a8d
DH
1204 - "machinectl history"
1205 - "machinectl diff"
1206 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
1207 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
1208
b44be3ec 1209* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec 1210 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
5f1dac6b 1211 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 1212
424a19f8 1213* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it

abd55b16
KS
1226 - kill scsi_id
1227 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
e8d842a0 1228 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
b8217b7b 1229
7f110ff9
LP
1230* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
1231
d0e5a333
LP
1232* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
1233
e25b5a8d
DH
1234* coredump:
1235 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
73a99163 1236 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
87a8baa3

KS
1240* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
1241 needs to be auto-respawned?
1242
f38afcd0 1243* tmpfiles:
f38afcd0 1244 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
614cc34f 1245 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
e25b5a8d
DH
1246 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes

1248 calls follow symlinks.
1258097c 1249
a4c279f8
LP
1250* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
1251
f28f1daf
LP
1252* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1253 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1254 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1255
88a07670
LP
1256* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1257 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

1281
59fee421
LP
1282* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
1283
e25b5a8d 1284* pid1:
e25b5a8d
DH
1285 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
1286 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
1287 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
1288 that are not supported...
1289 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
1290 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
1291 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
1292 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
e25b5a8d
DH
1293 - move PAM code into its own binary
1294 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
e25b5a8d
DH
1295 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1296 - Support --test based on current system state
1297 - 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().
1298 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
e25b5a8d
DH
1299 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
1300 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
1301 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
1302 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
1303 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
1304 but much rather a disconnect on success.
1305 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
1306 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1307
1308* unit files:
1309 - allow port=0 in .socket units
1310 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
1311 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
1312 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
1313 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
1314 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
1315 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
1316 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
e25b5a8d 1317 - introduce Type=pid-file
e25b5a8d
DH
1318 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
1319 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
e25b5a8d 1320 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
e5171296 1321 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
e25b5a8d 1322
af6f0d42
TG
1323* udev-link-config:
1324 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1325 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1326 on Path= matching
af6f0d42 1327
88e4d1d7 1328* sd-rtnl:
88e4d1d7 1329 - add support for more attribute types

TG
1333 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
1334 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
e8d842a0 1335 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
798e174a 1336 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
a8eaaee7 1337 - work with non-Ethernet devices
e25b5a8d 1338 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
e25b5a8d
DH
1339 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1340 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1341 - expose in the API the following bits:
e2da6491 1342 - option 15, domain name
38b38500 1343 - option 12, hostname and/or option 81, fqdn
e25b5a8d
DH
1344 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1345 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1346 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1347 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1348 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1349 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
e25b5a8d 1350 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW

1360 - write more test cases
37d8b536 1361 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
37d8b536 1362 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
37d8b536
PF
1363 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
1364 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1365 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1366 or interface down
1367 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1368 this behavior
4a77c53d 1369 - RouteTable= ?
