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
21
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
eb124a97 37Features:
154ff088 38
b0adb546
LP
39* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
40
bdeeb6b5
LP
41* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
42 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
43 to syslog when it works again.
44
45* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
46
47* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
48
49* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
50
51* user@.service and session-*.scope should get posession of their own cgroups
52
174da5c5
LP
53* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
54
374ec6ab 55* fix killing spree logic in systemd-user-sessions
fb6becb4
LP
56
57* logind: implement session kill exceptions
58
59* fix machine regstration to forward property array
60
61* fix loginctl cgroup enumeration
62
63* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
64
65* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
66
67* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
68
69* add implicit slice for instantiated services
70
6c12b52e
LP
71* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
72
11ddb6f4
LP
73* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
74
241da328
LP
75* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
76
7041efe9
LP
77* split up BlockIOWeight= and BlockIODeviceWeight=
78
d28e9236
LP
79* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swapiness
80
7041efe9
LP
81* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
82
b42defe3
LP
83* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
84
c2756a68
LP
85* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
86
87* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
8e2af478
LP
88
89* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
90
4ad49000 91* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 92
9444b1f2
LP
93* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
94 validity of session name before appending it to a path
95
9444b1f2
LP
96* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
97 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
98 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
99
a016b922
LP
100* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
101 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
102
a016b922
LP
103* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
104 the hierarchies of child processes
105
1f263d4d
LP
106* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
107
9444b1f2 108* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
109
110* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
111
4e09014d
LP
112* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
113
114* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
115
116* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
117 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
118 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
119 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
120
121* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
122 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
123
d5a2b9a6
LP
124* libsystemd-journal:
125 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
126
eb01ba5d
LP
127* libsystemd-bus:
128 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
129 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 130 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
131 - implement translator service
132 - port systemd to new library
133 - implement busname unit type in systemd
134 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 135 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 136 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 137 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
138 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
139 - implement monitor logic
140 - object vtable logic
141 - longer term:
142 * priority queues
86312ab8 143 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 144
154ff088
LP
145* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
146 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
147 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
148
7e853a9b
LP
149* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
150 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
151 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
152 kernel.
153
d686f034
LP
154* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
155 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
156
19aa7c4f
LP
157* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
158
aa96c6cb 159* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 160
461bd8e4
LP
161* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
162 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
163
ab8e074c
LP
164* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
165 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
166 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
167 needs setuid().
168
169* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
170
171* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
172
b454b112
LP
173* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
174
175* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
176
4a449ed7 177* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 178
4a449ed7
LP
179* we need dynamic units
180
4ff49cb6
LP
181* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
182
fff87a35
ZJS
183* test/:
184 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
185 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
186 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
187
188* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
189
190* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
191
3df82d5a
LP
192* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
193 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
194 file.
195
b5c03638
LP
196* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
197 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
198 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
199 destination.
200
752beb0c
LP
201* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
202
eece8c6f
LP
203* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
204 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
205
d325d9bc
KS
206* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
207 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
208 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 209
356ce991
LP
210* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
211
212* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
213
bfa00bc6
LP
214* we should log capabilities too
215
3b953d68
JT
216* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
217 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
218 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
219 old.
220
09f727ee
LP
221* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
222 need manual exponential loops after all
223
795607b2
LP
224* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
225 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
226 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
227 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
228
795607b2
LP
229* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
230
0be8342c
LP
231* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
232 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
233 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
234 that automatically.
235
487060c2
LP
236* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
237
e5ec62c5 238* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 239
826872b6
LP
240* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
241
54c31a79 242* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 243
8973790e 244* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
245
246* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
247
248* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
249
250* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
251
252* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
253
254* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
255
3679d112
LP
256* man: add more examples to man pages
257
258* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
259
3679d112
LP
260* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
261
262* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
263
264* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
265 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
266 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
267 individually.
268
cbb77121
LP
269* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
270
d01a73b6
LP
271* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
272
990ffbe5 273* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
274 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
275
276* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
277 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
278 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
279 will be activated.
280
356ce991 281* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 282
81d112a8 283* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 284
b44be3ec
LP
285* EFI:
286 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
287 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
288 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
289 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
290 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 291
c0fe5db5 292* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 293
b44be3ec 294* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 295
b44be3ec
LP
296* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
297 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 298
b44be3ec 299* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 300
b44be3ec 301* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 302
b44be3ec
LP
303* logind:
304 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
305 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
306 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
307 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
308 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
309 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
310 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
311 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 312 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 313 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 314 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 315
b44be3ec 316* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 317
b44be3ec 318* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 319
b44be3ec 320* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 321
b44be3ec 322* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
323 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
324 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
325 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 326 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
327 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
328 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
329 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
330 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
331 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
332 - journal: reuse XZ context
333 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
334 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
335 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
336 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
337 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
338 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
339 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 340 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
341 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
342 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
343 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 344 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
345 - 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.
346 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
347 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
348 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
349 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 350 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
351 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
352 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
353 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
354 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
355 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
356 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
357 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
358 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
359 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
360
361* document:
362 - document unit_name_mangle()
363 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
364 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
365 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
366 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
367 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
368 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 369 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 370 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
371
372* systemctl:
373 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
374 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
375 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
376 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
377 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
378 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
379 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
380 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
381 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
382 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
383 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
384 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
385 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 386
e673ad04
LP
387* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
388
b44be3ec
LP
389* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
390
391* timer units:
392 - configurable jitter for timer events
393 - timer events with system resume
394 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
395 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
396 o DST changes
eb124a97 397 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
398
399* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
400
401* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
