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:
154ff088 28
d5a2b9a6
LP
29* libsystemd-journal:
30 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
31
eb01ba5d
LP
32* libsystemd-bus:
33 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
34 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d
LP
35 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
36 - kdbus: generate correct bloom filter for matches
37 - implement translator service
38 - port systemd to new library
39 - implement busname unit type in systemd
40 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 41 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 42 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 43 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
44 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
45 - implement monitor logic
46 - object vtable logic
47 - longer term:
48 * priority queues
49 * worker threads
50 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 51
154ff088
LP
52* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
53 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
54 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
55
7e853a9b
LP
56* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
57 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
58 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
59 kernel.
60
d686f034
LP
61* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
62 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
63
19aa7c4f
LP
64* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
65
aa96c6cb 66* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 67
ef3b5246
LP
68* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
69 without dropping the location cache entirely.
70
461bd8e4
LP
71* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
72 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
73
ab8e074c
LP
74* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
75 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
76 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
77 needs setuid().
78
79* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
80
81* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
82
b454b112
LP
83* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
84
85* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
86
4a449ed7 87* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 88
4a449ed7
LP
89* we need dynamic units
90
4ff49cb6
LP
91* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
92
fff87a35
ZJS
93* test/:
94 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
95 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
96 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
97
98* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
99
100* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
101
3df82d5a
LP
102* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
103 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
104 file.
105
5666ea6f
KS
106* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
107 kmod static-nodes
108 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 109
b5c03638
LP
110* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
111 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
112 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
113 destination.
114
752beb0c
LP
115* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
116
eece8c6f
LP
117* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
118 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
119
d325d9bc
KS
120* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
121 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
122 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 123
356ce991
LP
124* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
125
126* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
127
bfa00bc6
LP
128* we should log capabilities too
129
3b953d68
JT
130* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
131 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
132 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
133 old.
134
09f727ee
LP
135* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
136 need manual exponential loops after all
137
795607b2
LP
138* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
139 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
140 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
141 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
142
795607b2
LP
143* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
144
0be8342c
LP
145* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
146 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
147 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
148 that automatically.
149
487060c2
LP
150* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
151
e5ec62c5 152* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 153
826872b6
LP
154* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
155
54c31a79 156* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 157
8973790e 158* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
159
160* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
161
162* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
163
164* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
165
166* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
167
168* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
169
3679d112
LP
170* man: add more examples to man pages
171
172* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
173
3679d112
LP
174* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
175
176* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
177
178* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
179 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
180 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
181 individually.
182
cbb77121
LP
183* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
184
d01a73b6
LP
185* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
186
990ffbe5 187* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
188 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
189
190* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
191 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
192 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
193 will be activated.
194
356ce991 195* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 196
81d112a8 197* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 198
b44be3ec
LP
199* EFI:
200 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
201 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
202 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
203 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
204 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 205
c0fe5db5 206* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 207
b44be3ec 208* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 209
b44be3ec
LP
210* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
211 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 212
b44be3ec 213* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 214
b44be3ec 215* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 216
b44be3ec
LP
217* logind:
218 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
219 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
220 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
221 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
222 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
223 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
224 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
225 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 226 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 227 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 228 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 229
b44be3ec 230* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 231
b44be3ec 232* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 233
b44be3ec 234* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 235
b44be3ec 236* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
237 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
238 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
239 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 240 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
241 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
242 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
243 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
244 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
245 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
246 - journal: reuse XZ context
247 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
248 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
249 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
250 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
251 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
252 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
253 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 254 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
255 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
256 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
257 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 258 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
259 - 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.
260 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
261 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
262 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
263 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 264 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
265 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
266 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
267 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
268 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
269 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
270 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
271 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
272 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
273 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
274
275* document:
276 - document unit_name_mangle()
277 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
278 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
279 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
280 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
281 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
282 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 283 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 284 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
285
286* systemctl:
287 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
288 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
289 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
290 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
291 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
292 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
293 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
294 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
295 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
296 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
297 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
298 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
299 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 300
e673ad04
LP
301* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
302
b44be3ec
LP
303* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
304
305* timer units:
306 - configurable jitter for timer events
307 - timer events with system resume
308 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
309 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
310 o DST changes
eb124a97 311 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
312
313* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
314
315* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
316 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
317 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 318 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 319 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 320 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 321
6c1703cc
KS
322* hwdb:
323 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
324 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 325
59704f3e
LP
326* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
327 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
328 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 329
e707c494
LP
330* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
331 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
332 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
333 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
334 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
335 better supported alternative.
e707c494 336
e707c494
LP
337* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
338
a19554ed
LP
339* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
340
1cb88f2c
LP
341* 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().
342
343* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
344* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
345* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 346
b44be3ec 347* timedated:
b44be3ec 348 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 349
a7a3f28b
LP
350* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
351
9b27910b
LP
352* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
353
b44be3ec 354* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 355
7d8197d1
KS
356* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
357 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
358 - superset of tmpfiles model
359 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
360 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
361 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
362
9ee58bdd
KS
363* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
364 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 365
71ef24d0
LP
366* high level net_prio setting in execution context
367
71ef24d0
LP
368* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
369
1b89884b
LP
370* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
371
15abdb9a 372* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 373
b44be3ec
LP
374* nspawn:
375 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
376 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
377 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
378 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
379 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
380 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
381 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
382 interfaces to the container
383 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
384 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 385 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP

68f16003 421* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
0790b9fe 422
5a7e9599
LP
423* ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
424
68f16003
LP
425* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
426 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
427 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
428 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 429 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 430 but much rather a disconnect on success.
0790b9fe 431

443
88a6c589 444* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
8351ceae 445
b44be3ec
LP
446* syscall filter:
447 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
448 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
449 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
450 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp

468 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
469 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
470 - blocking, needs a thread
471 - run until -EAGAIN
472 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
473 - call umount
474 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
475 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns

499

542 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
543 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
544
88a07670
LP
545* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
546 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.

69b1c674
KS
639* NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
640 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
641 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
642 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
643 the RTC to sync up.
