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
b6741478
LP
33* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
34
f38afcd0
LP
35* cgroups:
36 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
37 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
38 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
39 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
40 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
41 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
42 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
43 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 44
f38afcd0
LP
45* transient units:
46 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
47 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
48 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 49
08cd1552
LP
50* code cleanup
51 - get rid of readdir_r/dirent_storage stuff, it's unnecessary on Linux
52 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
2e41a51e 53
08cd1552 54* switch to SipHash for hashmaps/sets?
718db961 55
718db961
LP
56* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
57
58* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
59
f38afcd0 60* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
61
62* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
63
966204e0
LP
64* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
65
94676f3e 66* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 67
ced4d067
LP
68* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
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
0e7be129 124 - sort out error codes for sd_bus_release_name(), distuingish: successful removal from foreign name, from non-existing name
80caea6c
LP
125 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
126 - 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
01390ca8 127 - kdbus: when we do "systemctl daemon-reexec" the call doesn't get properly cancelled
0a825b5c
LP
128 - longer term:
129 * priority queues
130 * priority inheritance
f38afcd0
LP
131
132* sd-event
12179984 133 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 134
154ff088
LP
135* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
136 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
137 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
138
d686f034
LP
139* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
140 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
141
69af4503 142* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 143
69af4503 144* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 145
461bd8e4
LP
146* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
147 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
148
ab8e074c
LP
149* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
150
151* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
152
b454b112
LP
153* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
154
155* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
156
4ff49cb6
LP
157* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
158
fff87a35
ZJS
159* test/:
160 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
161 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 162
b8b4d3dd
LP
163* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
164
3df82d5a
LP
165* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
166 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
167 file.
168
b5c03638
LP
169* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
170 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
171 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
172 destination.
173
eece8c6f
LP
174* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
175 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
176
356ce991
LP
177* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
178
179* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
180
3b953d68
JT
181* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
182 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
183 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
184 old.
185
09f727ee
LP
186* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
187 need manual exponential loops after all
188
795607b2
LP
189* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
190 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
191 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
192 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
193
0be8342c
LP
194* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
195 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
196 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
197 that automatically.
198
e5ec62c5 199* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 200
826872b6
LP
201* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
202
54c31a79 203* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 204
3679d112
LP
205* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
206
3679d112
LP
207* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
208
209* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
210
cbb77121
LP
211* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
212
d01a73b6
LP
213* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
214
f8aeee1f
LP
215* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
216 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
217 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
218 will be activated.
219
356ce991 220* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 221
81d112a8 222* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 223
b44be3ec 224* EFI:
b44be3ec 225 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
226 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
227 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 228 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 229
c0fe5db5 230* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 231
b44be3ec 232* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 233
b44be3ec
LP
234* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
235 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 236
b44be3ec 237* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 238
b44be3ec 239* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 240
b44be3ec
LP
241* logind:
242 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
243 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
244 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
245 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
246 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
b44be3ec
LP
247 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
248 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 249 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
e5ec62c5 250 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
251 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
252 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
253 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
254 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
255 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
256 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
257 needs setuid().
e673ad04 258
b44be3ec 259* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 260
b44be3ec 261* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 262
b44be3ec 263* journal:
c06bf414 264 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
265 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
266 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
267 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
268 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
269 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
270 - journal: reuse XZ context
271 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
272 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
273 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
274 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
275 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
276 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
277 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 278 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
279 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
280 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 281 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
282 - 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.
283 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
284 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 285 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 286 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
287 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
288 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
289 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
290 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
291 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
292 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 293 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0
LP
294 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
295 - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
296 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
297 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
298 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
299 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
300 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
301 to syslog when it works again.
302 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
303 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
304 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
305 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
306 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
307
308* document:
b44be3ec
LP
309 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
310 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
311 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
312 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
313 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
314 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 315 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 316 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
317 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
318 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
319 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
320 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
321 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
322 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
323 - man: add more examples to man pages
324 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
325
326* systemctl:
327 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
328 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
329 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
330 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
331 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
332 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
333 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
334 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
335 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
336 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
337 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
338 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
339 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0 340 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
f38afcd0
LP
341 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
342 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
343 - in systemctl list-timers show time trggering units ran last
344
345* unit install:
346 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
347 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
348 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
349 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
350 unit however should remove them all).
351 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
352 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 353
e673ad04
LP
354* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
355
b44be3ec
LP
356* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
357
358* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
359 - timer events with system resume
360 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
361 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
362 o DST changes
eb124a97 363 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.

364 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
365 - 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

369* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
370
371* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
372 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
373 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 374 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 375 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 376 user did not request anything like it.

378* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
379 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
380 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.

e707c494
LP
382* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
383 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
384 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283

385 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in

424 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
425 interfaces to the container
eb124a97 426 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 427 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
9cb74bcb 428 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
f38afcd0
LP
429 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
430 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
431 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
432 kernel.

68f16003
LP
469* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
470 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
471 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
472 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 473 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

504 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
505 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
506 - blocking, needs a thread
507 - run until -EAGAIN
508 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
509 - call umount
