ee9c9500 1Bugfixes:
19aadacf 2* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
cff452c7
KS
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
6
f957632b
KS
7* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10
a40593a0 11* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20ffc4c4 12
19aadacf 13* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
ea92ae33
MW
14 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
15
04ac7992
ZJS
16* shorten the message to sane length:
17
18 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
19
f38afcd0 20External:
7b4da18c 21
f38afcd0 22* ps should gain colums for slice
81d112a8 23
f38afcd0 24* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
466784c8 25 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
55d32caf 26
f38afcd0 27* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 28
f38afcd0 29* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
bafb15ba 30
eb124a97 31Features:
154ff088 32
f38afcd0
LP
33* cgroups:
34 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
35 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
36 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
37 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
38 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
39 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
40 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
41 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 42
f38afcd0
LP
43* transient units:
44 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
45 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
46 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 47
08cd1552
LP
48* code cleanup
49 - get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
50 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
2e41a51e 51
08cd1552 52* switch to SipHash for hashmaps/sets?
718db961 53
718db961
LP
54* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
55
56* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
57
f38afcd0 58* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
59
60* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
61
966204e0
LP
62* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
63
94676f3e 64* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 65
ced4d067
LP
66* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
67
4ba93280
LP
68* remove NSS usage from PID 1 (notably the specifiers)
69
f38afcd0 70* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
41644622 71
41644622
LP
72* 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
73
9db76355
LP
74* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
75
baa89da4
LP
76* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
77
7f79cd71 78* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 79
19aadacf
JE
80* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
81 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
82 path anyway.
83
19aadacf 84* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
982e44db
LP
85 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
86 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
87
fcba531e
LP
88* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
89
19aadacf 90* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
e1b7e7ec
LP
91 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
92
6aaa8c2f 93* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 94
e1b7e7ec 95* 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 96
bdeeb6b5
LP
97* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
98
99* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
100
9444b1f2 101* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 102 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 103 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
104 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
105 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 106
1f263d4d
LP
107* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
108
19aadacf 109* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
1f263d4d 110
4e09014d
LP
111* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
112 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
113
eb01ba5d 114* libsystemd-bus:
eb01ba5d 115 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d 116 - implement translator service
86312ab8 117 - implement monitor logic
07459db6 118 - properly map matches with well-known names against messages with unique names
f38afcd0 119 - when triggering property change events, allow a NULL strv indicate that all properties listed as such are send out as changed
f38afcd0
LP
120 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
121 - support "const" properties as flag
122 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
123 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
626851be 124 - make sd_bus_open_system_container() kdbus aware
4734b895
LP
125 - longer term:
126 * priority queues
127 * priority inheritance
0e7be129 128 - sort out error codes for sd_bus_release_name(), distuingish: successful removal from foreign name, from non-existing name
80caea6c
LP
129 - bug in kdbus: nameownerchange is not generated for names, only ids.
130 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
131 - kdbus: we need a way to distuingish messages we got due to monitoring from normal messages, since we want to bind methods only to the latter
132 - figure out what to do when fields in the kdbus header and in the payload header do not match
f38afcd0
LP
133
134* sd-event
135 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal
136 - when a handler returns an error, just turn off its event source,
137 but do not return anything up to the event loop caller. Instead
138 add parameter to sd_event_request_quit() to take retval. This way
139 errors rippling upwards are the option, not the default
f9a810be 140 - event sources should not be able to keep the sd_event around unconditionally
eb01ba5d 141
154ff088
LP
142* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
143 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
144 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
145
d686f034
LP
146* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
147 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
148
69af4503 149* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 150
69af4503 151* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 152
461bd8e4
LP
153* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
154 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
155
ab8e074c
LP
156* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
157
158* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
159
b454b112
LP
160* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
161
162* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
163
4ff49cb6
LP
164* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
165
fff87a35
ZJS
166* test/:
167 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
168 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 169
b8b4d3dd
LP
170* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
171
3df82d5a
LP
172* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
173 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
174 file.
175
b5c03638
LP
176* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
177 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
178 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
179 destination.
180
eece8c6f
LP
181* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
182 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
183
356ce991
LP
184* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
185
186* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
187
3b953d68
JT
188* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
189 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
190 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
191 old.
192
09f727ee
LP
193* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
194 need manual exponential loops after all
195
795607b2
LP
196* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
197 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
198 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
199 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
200
0be8342c
LP
201* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
202 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
203 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
204 that automatically.
205
e5ec62c5 206* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 207
826872b6
LP
208* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
209
54c31a79 210* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 211
3679d112
LP
212* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
213
3679d112
LP
214* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
215
216* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
217
cbb77121
LP
218* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
219
d01a73b6
LP
220* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
221
f8aeee1f
LP
222* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
223 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
224 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
225 will be activated.
226
356ce991 227* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 228
81d112a8 229* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 230
b44be3ec 231* EFI:
b44be3ec 232 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
233 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
234 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 235 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 236
c0fe5db5 237* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 238
b44be3ec 239* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 240
b44be3ec
LP
241* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
242 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 243
b44be3ec 244* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 245
b44be3ec 246* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 247
b44be3ec
LP
248* logind:
249 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
250 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
251 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
252 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
253 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
b44be3ec
LP
254 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
255 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 256 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
e5ec62c5 257 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
258 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
259 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
260 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
261 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
262 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
263 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
264 needs setuid().
e673ad04 265
b44be3ec 266* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 267
b44be3ec 268* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 269
b44be3ec 270* journal:
c06bf414 271 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
272 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
273 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
274 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
275 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
276 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
277 - journal: reuse XZ context
278 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
279 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
280 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
281 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
282 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
283 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
284 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 285 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
286 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
287 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 288 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
289 - 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.
290 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
291 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 292 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 293 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
294 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
295 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
296 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
297 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
298 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
299 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 300 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0
LP
301 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
302 - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
303 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
304 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
305 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
306 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
307 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
308 to syslog when it works again.
309 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
310 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
311 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
312 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
313 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
314
315* document:
b44be3ec
LP
316 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
317 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
318 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
319 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
320 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
321 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 322 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 323 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
324 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
325 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
326 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
327 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
328 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
329 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
330 - man: add more examples to man pages
331 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
332
333* systemctl:
334 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
335 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
336 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
337 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
338 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
339 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
340 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
341 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
342 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
343 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
344 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
345 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
346 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0 347 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
f38afcd0
LP
348 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
349 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
350 - in systemctl list-timers show time trggering units ran last
351
352* unit install:
353 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
354 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
355 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
356 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
357 unit however should remove them all).
358 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
359 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 360
e673ad04
LP
361* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
362
b44be3ec
LP
363* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
364
365* timer units:

366 - timer events with system resume
367 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
368 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
369 o DST changes
eb124a97 370 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0
LP
371 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
372 - 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
90e071d1
LP
373 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
374 - anacron-like feature
d2e83c23

376* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
377
378* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
379 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
380 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 381 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 382 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 383 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 384

385* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
386 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
387 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 388
e707c494
LP
389* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
390 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
391 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
392 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
393 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
394 better supported alternative.

KS
410* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
411 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
412 - superset of tmpfiles model
413 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/

431 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
432 interfaces to the container
433 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
434 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 435 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
9cb74bcb 436 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
f38afcd0
LP
437 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
438 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
439 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
440 kernel.

LP
476* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
477 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
478 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
479 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 480 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

509* automount: implement expire:
510 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
511 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
512 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
513 - blocking, needs a thread
514 - run until -EAGAIN
515 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
516 - call umount
