2* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
c904f64d
LP
4* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
f957632b
KS
6* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
7 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
8 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
9
9a366075
LP
10* make polkit checks async
11
a40593a0 12* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

14* stop importing kernel exported env variables. The utterly broken logic in
15 the kernel exports every kernel command line option which is not recognized
16 as a built-in module option as an env variable. Systemd should not pass-on
17 that nonsense, a kernel command line option is a command line option not an
18 env variable:
19 $ cat /proc/252/environ
20 initrd=\6a9857a393724b7a981ebb5b8495b9ea\3.10.0-2.fc20.x86_64\initrd

2d19f95c 22Fedora 19:
3679d112 23
a4cc3e5c
LP
24* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
25 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
26 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 27 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 28
7e2c2bcf 29* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 30 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 31
81d112a8 32* localed:
81d112a8
LP
33 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
34
55d32caf
LP
35* when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
36

LP
37CGroup Rework Completion:
38
bafb15ba
LP
39* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
40
41* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
42
43* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
44
45* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
46
47* logind: implement session kill exceptions
48
bafb15ba
LP
49* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
50
049b4474 51* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba
LP
52
53* man: document new bus apis
54
248aa28f
LP
55* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes

eb124a97 57Features:
154ff088 58
36c0868b
LP
59* 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
60
61* journalctl: add an output mode that looks like classic /var/log/messages, but also outputs the cursor of the last entry so that people can write scripts that can run iteratively and always process data that has been added since the last time.
fa7deadb
LP
62
63* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
64
d907c208
LP
65* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
66
67* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
68
69* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
70
47a1454f
LP
71* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
72 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
73
049b4474
LP
74* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
75
b0adb546
LP
76* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
77
bdeeb6b5
LP
78* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
79 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
80 to syslog when it works again.
81
82* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
83
84* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
85
86* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
87
174da5c5
LP
88* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
89
fb6becb4
LP
90* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
91
fb6becb4
LP
92* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
93
6c12b52e
LP
94* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
95
11ddb6f4
LP
96* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
97
7041efe9
LP
98* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
99
b42defe3
LP
100* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
101
4ad49000 102* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 103
9444b1f2
LP
104* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
105 validity of session name before appending it to a path
106
9444b1f2
LP
107* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
108 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
109 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
110
a016b922
LP
111* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
112 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
113
a016b922
LP
114* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
115 the hierarchies of child processes
116
1f263d4d
LP
117* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
118
9444b1f2 119* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
120
121* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
122
4e09014d
LP
123* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
124
125* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
126
127* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
128 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
129 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
130 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
131
132* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
133 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
134
d5a2b9a6
LP
135* libsystemd-journal:
136 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
137
eb01ba5d
LP
138* libsystemd-bus:
139 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
140 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 141 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
142 - implement translator service
143 - port systemd to new library
144 - implement busname unit type in systemd
145 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 146 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 147 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 148 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
149 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
150 - implement monitor logic
151 - object vtable logic
152 - longer term:
153 * priority queues
86312ab8 154 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 155
154ff088
LP
156* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
157 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
158 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
159
7e853a9b
LP
160* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
161 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
162 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
163 kernel.
164
d686f034
LP
165* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
166 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
167
19aa7c4f
LP
168* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
169
aa96c6cb 170* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 171
461bd8e4
LP
172* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
173 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
174
ab8e074c
LP
175* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
176 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
177 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
178 needs setuid().
179
180* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
181
182* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
183
b454b112
LP
184* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
185
186* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
187
4a449ed7 188* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 189
4a449ed7
LP
190* we need dynamic units
191
4ff49cb6
LP
192* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
193
fff87a35
ZJS
194* test/:
195 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
196 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
197 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
198
199* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
200
201* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
202
3df82d5a
LP
203* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
204 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
205 file.
206
b5c03638
LP
207* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
208 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
209 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
210 destination.
211
752beb0c
LP
212* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
213
eece8c6f
LP
214* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
215 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
216
d325d9bc
KS
217* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
218 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
219 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 220
356ce991
LP
221* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
222
223* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
224
3b953d68
JT
225* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
226 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
227 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
228 old.
229
09f727ee
LP
230* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
231 need manual exponential loops after all
232
795607b2
LP
233* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
234 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
235 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
236 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
237
795607b2
LP
238* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
239
0be8342c
LP
240* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
241 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
242 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
243 that automatically.
244
487060c2
LP
245* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
246
e5ec62c5 247* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 248
826872b6
LP
249* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
250
54c31a79 251* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 252
8973790e 253* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
254
255* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
256
257* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
258
259* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
260
261* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
262
263* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
264
3679d112
LP
265* man: add more examples to man pages
266
267* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
268
3679d112
LP
269* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
270
271* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
272
273* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
274 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
275 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
276 individually.
277
cbb77121
LP
278* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
279
d01a73b6
LP
280* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
281
990ffbe5 282* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
283 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
284
285* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
286 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
287 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
288 will be activated.
289
356ce991 290* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 291
81d112a8 292* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 293
b44be3ec
LP
294* EFI:
295 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
296 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
297 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
298 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
299 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 300
c0fe5db5 301* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 302
b44be3ec 303* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 304
b44be3ec
LP
305* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
306 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 307
b44be3ec 308* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 309
b44be3ec 310* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 311
b44be3ec
LP
312* logind:
313 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
314 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
315 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
316 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
317 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
318 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
319 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
320 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 321 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 322 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 323 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 324
b44be3ec 325* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 326
b44be3ec 327* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 328
b44be3ec 329* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 330
b44be3ec 331* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
332 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
333 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
334 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 335 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
336 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
337 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
338 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
339 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
340 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
341 - journal: reuse XZ context
342 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
343 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
344 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
345 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
346 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
347 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
348 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 349 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
350 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
351 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
352 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 353 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
354 - 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.
355 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
356 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
357 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
358 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 359 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
360 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
361 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
362 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
363 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 364 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
365 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
366 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
367 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
368 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
369
370* document:
371 - document unit_name_mangle()
372 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
373 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
374 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
375 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
376 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
377 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 378 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 379 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
380
381* systemctl:
382 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
383 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
384 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
385 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
386 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
387 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
388 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
389 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
390 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
391 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
392 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
393 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
394 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 395
e673ad04
LP

403 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
404 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)

d2e83c23 413 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 414 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the

520* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()

523 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 524 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
