2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
6 * make anaconda write timeout=0 for encrypted devices
8 * Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
9 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
10 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12 * make polkit checks async
14 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
22 * kill insserv code, people should really use a generator for this
24 * journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
25 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
26 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
28 * add form factor to /etc/machine-info
30 * use C11 static_assert() where we currently use assert_cc()
32 * journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
34 * check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
36 * Addd a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
38 * "systemctl is-failed" to join "systemctl is-active" and "systemctl is-enabled".
40 * journal is not closed properly at shutdown when run in a container?
42 * All log messages generated from socket.c, service.c, ... should
43 include _SYSTEMD_UNIT= fields so that "systemctl status" can show
44 them along with the unit
46 * define a message ID for "overmounting non-empty directory" and write message catalog entry for it
48 * use polkit "imply" for binding hostname actions together
50 * journal: when waiting for journal additions always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
52 * When shutdown.target is queued begin with an asynchronous sync()?
54 * Add ConditionBatteryPower= or ConditionACPower=? (but definitely not both)
56 * add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
58 * maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
60 * fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
62 * declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
64 * journal: reuse XZ context
66 * sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
68 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
70 * timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
71 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
74 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
76 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
77 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
78 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
79 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
80 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
81 user did not request anything like it.
83 * When we begin with system shutdown all kind of suspend/hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
85 * When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
88 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
89 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
90 - find out what to do for blockdevs and skipping scsi modaliases
91 - move writing code to src/libudev/libudev-hwdb-private.c
93 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally surprising
95 * localectl: add listing support for X11 keymaps, by parsing /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst
97 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
98 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
99 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
100 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in logs-show.c.
102 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
104 * journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
106 * introduce new "journal" group in place of adm? introduce groups for the various mini daemons?
108 * journal: add a setgid "adm" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
110 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields?
112 * journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
113 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
115 * print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
117 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
119 * journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
121 * journal: document why we do not give ownership to journal files to the user that created them but use FS ACLs for that
123 * journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
125 * journal: when we haven't written anything in a while, sync to disk and mark file as offline, in order to be more often than not in a clean state
127 * 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.
129 * 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().
131 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
132 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
135 * journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
137 * journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
139 * journal: When used on NFS make sure wake up sd_journal_wait() every 2s, to handle missing inotify
141 * document that people can use file system ACLs to manage access to journal files, with example
143 * don't show cgroup in "systemctl status" if empty/non-existent, especially for foreign .mount units
145 * timedated: export boolean that clarifies whether NTP is even available
147 * timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
149 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
151 * document unit_name_mangle()
153 * add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
155 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
157 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
159 * systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
161 * systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
163 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 itself, get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
165 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
166 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
167 - superset of tmpfiles model
168 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
169 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
170 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
172 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
173 waiting for the timeout
175 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
177 * Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
179 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
181 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
183 * WorkingDirectory: support env var replacements like in ExecStart= so that people can use $HOME
185 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful
187 * nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
189 * nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
191 * cryptsetup-generator: warn if the password files are world-readable
193 * cryptsetup-generator: add RequiresMountsFor= to cryptseup service files referencing a file, similar for devices
195 * cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
197 * document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
198 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
200 * need to update LGPL2.1 text to newest version (with updated FSF address)
202 * systemctl: when powering down/suspending check for inhibitors, and warn.
204 * instantiated [Install] for target units
205 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54377
207 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
209 * move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
210 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
212 * make nspawn work without terminal
214 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
215 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
217 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
219 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
221 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
223 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
225 * journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
227 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
229 * Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
231 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
233 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
235 * move keymaps to /usr/lib/... rather than /usr/lib/udev/...
237 * journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
239 * journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd
241 * system-wide seccomp filter
243 * ability to pass fds into systemd
245 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
247 * bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
249 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
251 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
253 * testing tool for socket activation: some binary that listens on a socket and passes it on using the usual socket activation protocol to some server.
255 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
257 * nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
259 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
261 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
263 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
264 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
265 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
266 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
267 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
268 but much rather a disconnect on success.
270 * document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
272 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
274 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
276 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
278 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
280 * add proper journal support to "systemctl --user status ..."
282 * add _SYSTEMD_USER_UNIT= field to journal entries
284 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
286 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
288 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
290 * systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
292 * syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
294 * syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
296 * syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
298 * syscall filter: port to libseccomp
300 * logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
302 * systemd-analyze post-boot is broken for initrd
304 * systemd-analyze: data collection tools should be lightweight (few dependencies); data analysis tools can be heavyweight
306 * man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
308 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
310 * refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
312 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
313 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
315 * journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
320 * introduce Type=pid-file
322 * maybe allow services with ExecStop= set, but no ExecStart=?
324 * efi: implement /forcefsck as uefi variables thus not requiring file system altering to trigger a file system check
326 * efi: honor language efi variables for default language selection
328 * efi: honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection
330 * efi: automatically mount EFI partition to /boot if no such entry exists in /etc/fstab and /boot is empty
331 gummiboot exports the EFI system partion (ESP) device:
332 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderDeviceIdentifier-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
333 Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(1F|2)/?/HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1)
334 '/' is the separator for the device path list
335 HD(Part1,Sig1FCBC57F-4BFC-4C2B-91A3-9C84FBCD9AF1) contains the GPT UUID of the ESP
337 * read the bootloader performance data (raw TSC) in systemd-analyze
338 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksExec-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
340 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksInit-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
342 /sys/firmware/efi/vars/LoaderTicksStartMenu-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f/data
343 (only set if the menu was active)
345 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
347 * support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
349 * nspawn: make use of device cgroup contrller by default
351 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
353 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
355 * readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
357 * (attempt to) make Debianites happy:
358 - implement .d/ auto includes for unit files
359 - add syntax to reset ExecStart= lists (and similar)
361 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
363 * improve !/proc/*/loginuid situation: make /proc/*/loginuid less dependent on CONFIG_AUDIT,
364 or use the users cgroup information when /proc/*/loginuid is not available.
366 * pam_systemd: try to get old session id from cgroup, if audit sessionid cannot be determined
368 * pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
370 * maybe introduce ~/.config/locale.conf and apply it within PAM
372 * readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
374 * automount: implement expire
376 * logind: auto-suspend, auto-shutdown:
377 IdleAction=(none|suspend|opportunistic|hibernate|poweroff)
379 SessionIdleMode=(explicit|ignore|login)
380 ForceShutdown=(yes|no)
382 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
384 * don't delete /tmp/systemd-namespace-* before a process is gone down
386 * vconsole: implement setterm -store -foreground xxx --background zzz
388 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
390 * fedora: make sshd and pam_loginuid work in nspawn containers
392 * fix utmp for console logins in containers
394 * Add pretty name for seats in logind
396 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
398 * Auke: merge Auke's bootchart
402 * udev systemd unify:

404 - utf8 validator code
406 * udev: scsi_id -> sg3_utils -> kill scsi_id
408 * udev: add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
410 * allow configuration of console width/height in vconsole.conf
412 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
414 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
416 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
418 * support container_ttys=
420 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
422 * journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
424 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
426 * journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
428 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
430 * journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
432 * add command to systemctl to plot dependency graph as tree (see rhbz 795365)
434 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
436 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
438 * figure out whether we should leave dbus around during shutdown
440 * dbus: in fedora, make the machine a symlink to /etc/machine-id
442 * dbus: move dbus to early boot
444 * logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API

452 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
454 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
456 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
458 * support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
460 * logind: allow showing logout dialog from system
462 * document that %% can be used to write % in a string that is specifier extended
464 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
466 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
468 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
469 needs to be auto-respawned?
471 * Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
473 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
475 * something like ConditionExec= or ExecStartPre= without failure state
477 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
479 * don't set $HOME in services unless requested
481 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
483 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
485 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
486 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
488 * move PAM code into its own binary
490 * logind: spawn user@..service on login
492 * logind: non-local X11 server handling
494 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
495 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
497 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
499 * readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
501 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
503 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
505 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
506 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
507 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
509 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
510 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
512 * move nss-myhostname into systemd
514 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
516 * drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
518 * add support for /bin/mount -s
520 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
522 * write blog stories about:
523 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
524 - enabling dbus services
526 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
528 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
529 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
530 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
532 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
533 - the journal HTTP iface
534 - non-cgroup resource management
535 - refreshed, longer missions statement
538 * allow port=0 in .socket units
540 * move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
542 * teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
544 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
546 * when key file cannot be found, read it from kbd in cryptsetup
548 * reuse mkdtemp namespace dirs in /tmp?
550 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
552 * Support --test based on current system state
554 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
556 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
558 * configurable jitter for timer events
560 * timer events with system resume
562 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
564 * writable cgroups dbus properties for live changes
566 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
567 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
571 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
572 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)

583 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
589 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
590 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
591 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
592 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
593 - always pass cred data along each message
595 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
597 * gnome-shell python script/glxinfo/is-accelerated must die
599 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
601 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys and /sys/fs/cgroup?
603 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
604 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
605 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
606 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
609 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
613 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
615 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
617 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
619 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
623 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
625 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
627 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
629 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
631 * support for early-boot SysV services (definitely: remove)
633 * insserv support (definitely: remove)
