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.

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

a1cccad1
LP
378* make timer units go away after they elapsed

8556879e 382
8556879e
LP
383* come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
384
4a30847b
LP
385* move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
386
5e8b2883
LP
387* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
388

7560fffc
LP
397* shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
398
68f16003 399* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 400
5a7e9599
LP
401* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
402
68f16003
LP
403* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
404 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
405 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
406 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 407 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 408 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 409
5aea932f
LP
410* remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed

419
47ae7201
LP

421
88a6c589 422* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
8351ceae 423
b44be3ec
LP
424* syscall filter:
425 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
426 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
427 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
428 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
429 - system-wide seccomp filter

be0aa784
LP
431* .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
432

443
d3a3f222
KS
444* automount: implement expire:
445 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
446 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
447 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
448 - blocking, needs a thread
449 - run until -EAGAIN
450 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
451 - call umount
452 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
453 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
465349c0 454
06dab8e1
LP
455* services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
456

169c4f65
LP
468* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting

LP
470* support container_ttys=
471
fb0864e7
LP

475
7f110ff9
LP
476* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
477
d0e5a333
LP
478* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
479

496
de6c78f8 497* tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
7d441ddb 498

8d0e38a2 518
f28f1daf
LP
519* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
520 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
521 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
522
88a07670
LP
523* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
524 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

69b1c674
KS
617* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
618 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
619 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
620 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
621 the RTC to sync up.
622
71092d70 623* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
