KS
2* systemctl status *.path shows all logs, not only the ones since the unit is
3 active
4
7c66aeba
KS
5* check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
6
c904f64d
LP
7* swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
8
f957632b
KS
9* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
10 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
11 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
12
9a366075
LP
13* make polkit checks async
14
a40593a0 15* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.

a4cc3e5c
LP
19* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
20 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
21 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 22 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 23
7e2c2bcf 24* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 25 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 26
81d112a8 27* localed:
81d112a8
LP
28 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
29
eb124a97 30Features:
32821c76
KS
31* read the kernel's console "debug" keyword like we read "quiet" and adjust:
32 systemd.log_level=debug and maybe systemd.log_target=kmsg
3df82d5a 33
a7c54c8c
LP
34* maybe add "journalctl -k" as shortcut for "-b _TRANSPORT=kernel"
35
d686f034
LP
36* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
37 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
38
19aa7c4f
LP
39* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
40
aa96c6cb 41* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 42
ef3b5246
LP
43* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
44 without dropping the location cache entirely.
45
461bd8e4
LP
46* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
47 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
48
ab8e074c
LP
49* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
50 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
51 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
52 needs setuid().
53
54* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
55
56* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
57
b454b112
LP
58* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
59
60* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
61
4a449ed7 62* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 63
4a449ed7
LP
64* we need dynamic units
65
4a449ed7
LP
66* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
67
4ff49cb6
LP
68* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
69
fff87a35
ZJS
70* test/:
71 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
72 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
73 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
74
75* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
76
77* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
78
3df82d5a
LP
79* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
80 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
81 file.
82
5666ea6f
KS
83* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
84 kmod static-nodes
85 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 86
b6b7d433
LP
87* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
88 units.
89
b5c03638
LP
90* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
91 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
92 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
93 destination.
94
752beb0c
LP
95* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
96
eece8c6f
LP
97* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
98 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
99
d325d9bc
KS
100* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
101 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
102 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 103
356ce991
LP
104* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
105
106* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
107
bfa00bc6
LP
108* we should log capabilities too
109
3b953d68
JT
110* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
111 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
112 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
113 old.
114
09f727ee
LP
115* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
116 need manual exponential loops after all
117
795607b2
LP
118* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
119 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
120 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
121 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
122
795607b2
LP
123* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
124
0be8342c
LP
125* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
126 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
127 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
128 that automatically.
129
487060c2
LP
130* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
131
e5ec62c5 132* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 133
826872b6
LP
134* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
135
54c31a79 136* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 137
8973790e 138* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
139
140* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
141
142* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
143
144* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
145
146* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
147
148* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
149
3679d112
LP
150* man: add more examples to man pages
151
152* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
153
3679d112
LP
154* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
155
156* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
157
158* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
159 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
160 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
161 individually.
162
cbb77121
LP
163* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
164
d01a73b6
LP
165* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
166
990ffbe5 167* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
168 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
169
170* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
171 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
172 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
173 will be activated.
174
356ce991 175* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 176
81d112a8 177* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 178
b44be3ec
LP
179* EFI:
180 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
181 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
182 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
183 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
184 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 185
c0fe5db5 186* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 187
b44be3ec 188* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 189
b44be3ec
LP
190* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
191 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 192
b44be3ec 193* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 194
b44be3ec 195* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 196
b44be3ec
LP
197* logind:
198 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
199 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
200 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
201 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
202 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
203 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
204 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
205 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 206 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 207 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 208 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 209
b44be3ec 210* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 211
b44be3ec 212* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 213
b44be3ec 214* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 215
b44be3ec 216* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
217 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
218 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
219 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 220 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
221 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
222 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
223 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
224 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
225 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
226 - journal: reuse XZ context
227 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
228 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
229 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
230 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
231 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
232 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
233 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 234 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
235 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
236 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
237 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 238 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
239 - 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.
240 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
241 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
242 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
243 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 244 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
245 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
246 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
247 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
248 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
249 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
250 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
251 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
252 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
253 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
254
255* document:
256 - document unit_name_mangle()
257 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
258 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
259 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
260 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
261 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
262 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 263 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 264 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
265
266* systemctl:
267 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
268 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
269 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
270 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
271 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
272 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
273 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
274 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
275 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
276 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
277 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
278 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
279 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 280
e673ad04
LP
281* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
282
b44be3ec
LP
283* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
284
285* timer units:
286 - configurable jitter for timer events
287 - timer events with system resume
288 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
289 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
290 o DST changes
eb124a97 291 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
292
293* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
294
295* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
296 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
297 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 298 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 299 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 300 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 301
6c1703cc
KS
302* hwdb:
303 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
304 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 305
59704f3e
LP
306* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
307 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
308 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 309
e707c494
LP
310* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
311 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
312 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
313 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
314 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
315 better supported alternative.
e707c494 316
e707c494
LP
317* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
318
a19554ed
LP
319* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
320
1cb88f2c
LP
321* 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().
322
323* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
324* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
325* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 326
b44be3ec 327* timedated:
b44be3ec 328 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 329
a7a3f28b
LP
330* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
331
9b27910b
LP
332* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
333
b44be3ec 334* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 335
7d8197d1
KS
336* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
337 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
338 - superset of tmpfiles model
339 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
340 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
341 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
342
9ee58bdd
KS
343* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
344 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 345
71ef24d0
LP
346* high level net_prio setting in execution context
347
71ef24d0
LP
348* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
349
1b89884b
LP
350* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
351
15abdb9a 352* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 353
b44be3ec
LP
354* nspawn:
355 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
356 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
357 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
358 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
359 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
360 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
361 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
362 interfaces to the container
363 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
364 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 365 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
366
367* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
368 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
369 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
370 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 371 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 372
de34a42b
LP
373* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
374
424a19f8 375* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 376 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
377
378* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
379
a1cccad1
LP

LP
403* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
404
68f16003
LP
405* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
406 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
407 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
408 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 409 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 410 but much rather a disconnect on success.

449 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
450 - blocking, needs a thread
451 - run until -EAGAIN

453 - call umount
454 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD

619* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
620 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
621 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
622 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
623 the RTC to sync up.
