Features:
+* insert the new pidfs inode number as a third field into PidRef, so that
+ PidRef are reasonably serializable without having to pass around fds.
+
+* systemd-analyze smbios11 to dump smbios type 11 vendor strings
+
+* move documentation about our common env vars (SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL,
+ SYSTEMD_PAGER, …) into a man page of its own, and just link it from our
+ various man pages that so far embed the whole list again and again, in an
+ attempt to reduce clutter and noise a bid.
+
+* vmspawn switch default swtpm PCR bank to SHA384-only (away from SHA256), at
+ least on 64bit archs, simply because SHA384 is typically double the hashing
+ speed than SHA256 on 64bit archs (since based on 64bit words unlike SHA256
+ which uses 32bit words).
+
+* In vmspawn/nspawn/machined wait for X_SYSTEMD_UNIT_ACTIVE=ssh-active.target
+ and X_SYSTEMD_SIGNAL_LEVEL=2 as indication whether/when SSH and the POSIX
+ signals are available. Similar for D-Bus (but just use sockets.target for
+ that). Report as property for the machine.
+
+* teach nspawn/machined a new bus call/verb that gets you a
+ shell in containers that have no sensible pid1, via joining the container,
+ and invoking a shell directly. Then provide another new bus call/vern that is
+ somewhat automatic: if we detect that pid1 is running and fully booted up we
+ provide a proper login shell, otherwise just a joined shell. Then expose that
+ as primary way into the container.
+
+* make vmspawn/nspawn/importd/machined a bit more usable in a WSL-like
+ fashion. i.e. teach unpriv systemd-vmspawn/systemd-nspawn a reasonable
+ --bind-user= behaviour that mounts the calling user through into the
+ machine. Then, ship importd with a small database of well known distro images
+ along with their pinned signature keys. Then add some minimal glue that binds
+ this together: downloads a suitable image if not done so yet, starts it in
+ the bg via vmspawn/nspawn if not done so yet and then requests a shell inside
+ it for the invoking user.
+
+* make varlink.h a public API, i.e. give all symbols an sd_ prefix, and rename
+ header file to sd-varlink.h. This of course also means we have to make json.h
+ public the same way. Convert the function param checks from assert() to
+ assert_ret(). Only export the stuff we are sure about, and keep some symbols
+ internally where things are not clear whether we want other projects to use.
+
+* machined: allow running in a per-user instance too, to allow unpriv
+ systemd-nspawn and systemd-vmspawn do something useful. (Alternatively: open
+ up system machined to unpriv client's registering their machines, and enforce
+ they come with some prefix or suffix that clarifies they are the
+ user's. i.e. when a user registers a machine it must be called
+ foobar.<username> or so.).
+
+* importd/…: define per-user dirs for container/VM images too.
+
* add a new specifier to unit files that figures out the DDI the unit file is
from, tracing through overlayfs, DM, loopback block device.
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (maybe even under that name?). Would then be used to
initialize the timestamp logic of ConditionNeedsUpdate=.
-* ptyfwd: look for window title ANSI sequences and insert colored dot in front
- of it while passing it through, to indicate whether we are in privileged, VM,
- container terminal sessions.
-
* nspawn/vmspawn/pid1: add ability to easily insert fully booted VMs/FOSC into
shell pipelines, i.e. add easy to use switch that turns off console status
output, and generates the right credentials for systemd-run-generator so that
* add a new ExecStart= flag that inserts the configured user's shell as first
word in the command line. (maybe use character '.'). Usecase: tool such as
- uid0 can use that to spawn the target user's default shell.
+ run0 can use that to spawn the target user's default shell.
* varlink: figure out how to do docs for our varlink interfaces. Idea: install
interface files augmented with docs in /usr/share/ somewhere. And have
suspend inhibitor to implement this. request clean suspend by generating
suspend key presses.
- support for "real" networking via "-n" and --network-bridge=
- - automatically run service "at the side" for swtpm
- translate SIGTERM to clean ACPI shutdown event
* systemd-pcrmachine should probably also measure the SMBIOS system UUID.
policy from currently booted kernel/event log, to close gap for first boot
for pre-built images
-* add a new systemd-project@.service that is very similar to user@.service but
- uses DynamicUser=1 and no PAMName= to invoke an unprivileged somewhat
- light-weight service manager. Use HOME=/var/lib/systemd/projects/%i as home
- dir. Similar for $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. Start project@%i.target. Use LogField= to
- add a field identifying the project.
-
* in sd-boot and sd-stub measure the SMBIOS vendor strings to some PCR (at
least some subset of them that look like systemd stuff), because apparently
some firmware does not, but systemd honours it. avoid duplicate measurement
systemd.import_encrypted_creds=foobar.waldo,tmpfiles.extra to protect locked
down kernels from credentials generated on the host with a weak kernel
+* Merge systemd-creds options --uid= (which accepts user names) and --user.
+
* Add support for extra verity configuration options to systemd-repart (FEC,
hash type, etc)
* systemd-analyze netif that explains predictable interface (or networkctl)
+* Figure out naming of verbs in systemd-analyze: we have (singular) capability,
+ exit-status, but (plural) filesystems, architectures.
+
* Add service setting to run a service within the specified VRF. i.e. do the
equivalent of "ip vrf exec".
- kmod-libs (only when called from PID 1)
- libblkid (only in RootImage= handling in PID 1, but not elsewhere)
- libpam (only when called from PID 1)
- - bzip2, xz, lz4 (always — gzip and zstd should probably stay static deps the way they are,
- since they are so basic and our defaults)
+ - bzip2 (always — gzip should probably stay static dep the way it is,
+ since it's so basic and our defaults)
* seccomp: maybe use seccomp_merge() to merge our filters per-arch if we can.
Apparently kernel performance is much better with fewer larger seccomp
- fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
- make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
- make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
- - query password from kernel keyring first
- - update even if record is "absent"
- move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
- when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
- make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
