KS
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
bafb15ba
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
56
eb124a97 57Features:
154ff088 58
e7256c5c
LP
59* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
60
042e33ae
LP
61* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
62
18d4e7c2
LP
63* add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
64
36c0868b
LP
65* 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
66
67* 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
68
69* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
70
d907c208
LP
71* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
72
73* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
74
75* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
76
47a1454f
LP
77* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
78 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
79
049b4474
LP
80* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
81
b0adb546
LP
82* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
83
bdeeb6b5
LP
84* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
85 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
86 to syslog when it works again.
87
88* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
89
90* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
91
92* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
93
174da5c5
LP
94* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
95
fb6becb4
LP
96* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
97
fb6becb4
LP
98* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
99
6c12b52e
LP
100* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
101
11ddb6f4
LP
102* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
103
7041efe9
LP
104* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
105
b42defe3
LP
106* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
107
4ad49000 108* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 109
9444b1f2
LP
110* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
111 validity of session name before appending it to a path
112
9444b1f2
LP
113* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
114 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
115 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
116
a016b922
LP
117* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
118 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
119
a016b922
LP
120* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
121 the hierarchies of child processes
122
1f263d4d
LP
123* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
124
9444b1f2 125* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
126
127* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
128
4e09014d
LP
129* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
130
131* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
132
a65f06bb 133* change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
4e09014d
LP
134 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
135 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
136 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
137
138* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
139 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
140
eb01ba5d
LP
141* libsystemd-bus:
142 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
143 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 144 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
145 - implement translator service
146 - port systemd to new library
147 - implement busname unit type in systemd
148 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 149 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 150 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 151 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
152 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
153 - implement monitor logic
154 - object vtable logic
155 - longer term:
156 * priority queues
86312ab8 157 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 158
154ff088
LP
159* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
160 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
161 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
162
7e853a9b
LP
163* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
164 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
165 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
166 kernel.
167
d686f034
LP
168* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
169 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
170
19aa7c4f
LP
171* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
172
aa96c6cb 173* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 174
461bd8e4
LP
175* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
176 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
177
ab8e074c
LP
178* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
179 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
180 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
181 needs setuid().
182
183* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
184
185* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
186
b454b112
LP
187* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
188
189* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
190
4a449ed7 191* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 192
4a449ed7
LP
193* we need dynamic units
194
4ff49cb6
LP
195* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
196
fff87a35
ZJS
197* test/:
198 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
199 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
200 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
201
202* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
203
204* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
205
3df82d5a
LP
206* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
207 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
208 file.
209
b5c03638
LP
210* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
211 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
212 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
213 destination.
214
752beb0c
LP
215* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
216
eece8c6f
LP
217* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
218 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
219
d325d9bc
KS
220* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
221 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
222 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 223
356ce991
LP
224* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
225
226* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
227
3b953d68
JT
228* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
229 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
230 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
231 old.
232
09f727ee
LP
233* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
234 need manual exponential loops after all
235
795607b2
LP
236* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
237 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
238 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
239 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
240
795607b2
LP
241* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
242
0be8342c
LP
243* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
244 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
245 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
246 that automatically.
247
487060c2
LP
248* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
249
e5ec62c5 250* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 251
826872b6
LP
252* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
253
54c31a79 254* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 255
8973790e 256* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
257
258* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
259
260* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
261
262* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
263
264* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
265
266* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
267
3679d112
LP
268* man: add more examples to man pages
269
270* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
271
3679d112
LP
272* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
273
274* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
275
276* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
277 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
278 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
279 individually.
280
cbb77121
LP
281* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
282
d01a73b6
LP
283* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
284
990ffbe5 285* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
286 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
287
288* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
289 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
290 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
291 will be activated.
292
356ce991 293* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 294
81d112a8 295* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 296
b44be3ec
LP
297* EFI:
298 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
299 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
300 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
301 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
302 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 303
c0fe5db5 304* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 305
b44be3ec 306* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 307
b44be3ec
LP
308* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
309 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 310
b44be3ec 311* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 312
b44be3ec 313* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 314
b44be3ec
LP
315* logind:
316 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
317 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
318 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
319 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
320 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
321 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
322 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
323 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 324 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 325 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 326 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 327
b44be3ec 328* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 329
b44be3ec 330* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 331
b44be3ec 332* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 333
b44be3ec 334* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
335 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
336 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
337 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 338 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
339 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
340 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
341 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
342 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
343 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
344 - journal: reuse XZ context
345 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
346 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
347 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
348 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
349 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
350 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
351 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 352 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
353 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
354 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
355 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 356 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
357 - 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.
358 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
359 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 360 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 361 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
362 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
363 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
364 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
365 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 366 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
367 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
368 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
369 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
370 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
371
372* document:
373 - document unit_name_mangle()
374 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
375 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
376 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
377 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
378 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
379 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 380 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 381 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
382
383* systemctl:
384 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
385 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
386 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
387 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
388 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
389 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
390 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
391 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
392 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
393 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
394 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
395 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template

403 - configurable jitter for timer events
404 - timer events with system resume
405 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
406 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)

d2e83c23 415 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 416 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the

LP
522* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
523 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
524 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
525 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 526 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
