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.

a4cc3e5c
LP
16* external: maybe it is time to patch procps so that "ps" links to
17 libsystemd-logind to print a pretty service name, seat name, session
18 name in its output. Currently it only shows cgroup membership, but
0028da22 19 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
a4cc3e5c 20
7e2c2bcf 21* cgroup attrs:
f0c15f28 22 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
7b4da18c 23
81d112a8 24* localed:
81d112a8
LP
25 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
26
eb124a97 27Features:
3df82d5a 28
aa96c6cb 29* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 30
ef3b5246
LP
31* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
32 without dropping the location cache entirely.
33
461bd8e4
LP
34* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
35 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
36
ab8e074c
LP
37* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
38 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
39 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
40 needs setuid().
41
42* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
43
44* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
45
b454b112
LP
46* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
47
48* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
49
4a449ed7 50* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 51
4a449ed7
LP
52* we need dynamic units
53
4a449ed7
LP
54* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
55
4ff49cb6
LP
56* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
57
fff87a35
ZJS
58* test/:
59 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
60 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
61 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
62
63* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
64
65* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
66
3df82d5a
LP
67* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
68 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
69 file.
70
5666ea6f
KS
71* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
72 kmod static-nodes
73 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 74
b6b7d433
LP
75* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
76 units.
77
b5c03638
LP
78* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
79 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
80 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
81 destination.
82
752beb0c
LP
83* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
84
eece8c6f
LP
85* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
86 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
87
d325d9bc
KS
88* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
89 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
90 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 91
356ce991
LP
92* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
93
94* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
95
bfa00bc6
LP
96* we should log capabilities too
97
3b953d68
JT
98* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
99 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
100 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
101 old.
102
09f727ee
LP
103* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
104 need manual exponential loops after all
105
795607b2
LP
106* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
107 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
108 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
109 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
110
795607b2
LP
111* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
112
0be8342c
LP
113* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
114 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
115 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
116 that automatically.
117
487060c2
LP
118* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
119
e5ec62c5 120* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 121
826872b6
LP
122* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
123
54c31a79 124* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 125
8973790e 126* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
127
128* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
129
130* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
131
132* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
133
134* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
135
136* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
137
3679d112
LP
138* man: add more examples to man pages
139
140* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
141
3679d112
LP
142* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
143
144* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
145
146* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
147 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
148 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
149 individually.
150
cbb77121
LP
151* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
152
d01a73b6
LP
153* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
154
990ffbe5 155* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
156 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
157
158* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
159 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
160 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
161 will be activated.
162
356ce991 163* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 164
81d112a8 165* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 166
b44be3ec
LP
167* EFI:
168 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
169 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
170 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
171 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
172 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 173
c0fe5db5 174* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 175
b44be3ec 176* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 177
b44be3ec
LP
178* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
179 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 180
b44be3ec 181* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 182
b44be3ec 183* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 184
b44be3ec
LP
185* logind:
186 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
187 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
188 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
189 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
190 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
191 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
192 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
193 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 194 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 195 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 196 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
8973790e
LP
197 - add configuration/switches to use
198 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
199 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
e673ad04 200
b44be3ec 201* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 202
b44be3ec 203* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 204
b44be3ec 205* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 206
b44be3ec 207* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
208 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
209 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
210 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 211 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
212 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
213 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
214 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
215 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
216 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
217 - journal: reuse XZ context
218 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
219 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
220 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
221 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
222 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
223 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
224 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 225 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
226 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
227 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
228 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 229 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
230 - 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.
231 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
232 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
233 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
234 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 235 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
236 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
237 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
238 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
239 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
240 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
241 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
242 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
243 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
244 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
245
246* document:
247 - document unit_name_mangle()
248 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
249 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
250 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
251 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
252 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
253 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 254 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 255 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
256
257* systemctl:
258 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
259 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
260 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
261 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
262 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
263 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
264 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
265 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
266 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
267 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
268 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
269 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
270 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 271
e673ad04
LP
272* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
273
b44be3ec
LP
274* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
275
276* timer units:
277 - configurable jitter for timer events
278 - timer events with system resume
279 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
280 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
281 o DST changes
eb124a97 282 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
283
284* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
285
286* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
287 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
288 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 289 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 290 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 291 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 292
6c1703cc
KS
293* hwdb:
294 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
295 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 296
59704f3e
LP
297* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
298 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
299 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 300
e707c494
LP
301* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
302 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
303 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
304 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
305 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
306 better supported alternative.
e707c494 307
e707c494
LP
308* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
309
a19554ed
LP
310* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
311
1cb88f2c
LP
312* 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().
313
314* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
315* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
316* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 317
b44be3ec 318* timedated:
b44be3ec 319 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 320
a7a3f28b
LP
321* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
322
9b27910b
LP
323* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
324
b44be3ec 325* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 326
7d8197d1
KS
327* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
328 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
329 - superset of tmpfiles model
330 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
331 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
332 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
333
9ee58bdd
KS
334* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
335 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 336
71ef24d0
LP
337* high level net_prio setting in execution context
338
71ef24d0
LP
339* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
340
1b89884b
LP
341* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
342
15abdb9a 343* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 344
b44be3ec
LP
345* nspawn:
346 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
347 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
348 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
349 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
350 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
351 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
352 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
353 interfaces to the container
354 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
355 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 356 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
357
358* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
359 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
360 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
361 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 362 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 363
de34a42b
LP
364* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
365
424a19f8 366* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 367 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
424a19f8
LP
368
369* after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
370
a1cccad1
LP
371* make timer units go away after they elapsed
372
8556879e 373* http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
d05c556b 374 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
8556879e 375

LP
394* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
395
68f16003
LP
396* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
397 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
398 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
399 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 400 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 401 but much rather a disconnect on success.

442 - run until -EAGAIN
443 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
444 - call umount
445 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD

88a07670
LP
518* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
519 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

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