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:
32821c76
KS
31* read the kernel's console "debug" keyword like we read "quiet" and adjust:
32 systemd.log_level=debug and maybe systemd.log_target=kmsg
3df82d5a 33
7e853a9b
LP
34* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
35 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
36 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
37 kernel.
38
d686f034
LP
39* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
40 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
41
19aa7c4f
LP
42* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
43
aa96c6cb 44* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 45
ef3b5246
LP
46* see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
47 without dropping the location cache entirely.
48
461bd8e4
LP
49* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
50 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
51
ab8e074c
LP
52* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
53 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
54 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
55 needs setuid().
56
57* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
58
59* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
60
b454b112
LP
61* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
62
63* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
64
4a449ed7 65* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 66
4a449ed7
LP
67* we need dynamic units
68
4a449ed7
LP
69* add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
70
4ff49cb6
LP
71* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
72
fff87a35
ZJS
73* test/:
74 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
75 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
76 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
77
78* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
79
80* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
81
3df82d5a
LP
82* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
83 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
84 file.
85
5666ea6f
KS
86* move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
87 kmod static-nodes
88 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
a9602630 89
b6b7d433
LP
90* systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
91 units.
92
b5c03638
LP
93* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
94 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
95 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
96 destination.
97
752beb0c
LP
98* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
99
eece8c6f
LP
100* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
101 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
102
d325d9bc
KS
103* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
104 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
105 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 106
356ce991
LP
107* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
108
109* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
110
bfa00bc6
LP
111* we should log capabilities too
112
3b953d68
JT
113* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
114 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
115 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
116 old.
117
09f727ee
LP
118* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
119 need manual exponential loops after all
120
795607b2
LP
121* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
122 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
123 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
124 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
125
795607b2
LP
126* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
127
0be8342c
LP
128* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
129 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
130 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
131 that automatically.
132
487060c2
LP
133* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
134
e5ec62c5 135* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 136
826872b6
LP
137* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
138
54c31a79 139* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 140
8973790e 141* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
142
143* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
144
145* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
146
147* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
148
149* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
150
151* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
152
3679d112
LP
153* man: add more examples to man pages
154
155* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
156
3679d112
LP
157* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
158
159* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
160
161* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
162 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
163 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
164 individually.
165
cbb77121
LP
166* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
167
d01a73b6
LP
168* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
169
990ffbe5 170* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
171 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
172
173* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
174 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
175 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
176 will be activated.
177
356ce991 178* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 179
81d112a8 180* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 181
b44be3ec
LP
182* EFI:
183 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
184 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
185 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
186 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
187 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 188
c0fe5db5 189* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 190
b44be3ec 191* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 192
b44be3ec
LP
193* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
194 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 195
b44be3ec 196* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 197
b44be3ec 198* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 199
b44be3ec
LP
200* logind:
201 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
202 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
203 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
204 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
205 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
206 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
207 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
208 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 209 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 210 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 211 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 212
b44be3ec 213* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 214
b44be3ec 215* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 216
b44be3ec 217* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 218
b44be3ec 219* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
220 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
221 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
222 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 223 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
224 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
225 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
226 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
227 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
228 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
229 - journal: reuse XZ context
230 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
231 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
232 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
233 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
234 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
235 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
236 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 237 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
238 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
239 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
240 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 241 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
242 - 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.
243 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
244 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec
LP
245 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
246 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 247 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
248 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
249 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
250 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
251 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
252 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
253 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
254 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
255 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
256 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
257
258* document:
259 - document unit_name_mangle()
260 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
261 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
262 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
263 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
264 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
265 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 266 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 267 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
268
269* systemctl:
270 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
271 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
272 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
273 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
274 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
275 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
276 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
277 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
278 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
279 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
280 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
281 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
282 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 283
e673ad04
LP
284* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
285
b44be3ec
LP
286* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
287
288* timer units:
289 - configurable jitter for timer events
290 - timer events with system resume
291 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
292 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
293 o DST changes
eb124a97 294 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
d2e83c23
KS
295
296* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
297
298* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
299 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
300 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 301 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 302 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 303 user did not request anything like it.
c55b1b59 304
6c1703cc
KS
305* hwdb:
306 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
307 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
08f95888 308
59704f3e
LP
309* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
310 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
311 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
9ec82de1 312
e707c494
LP
313* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
314 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
315 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283
LP
316 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
317 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
318 better supported alternative.
e707c494 319
e707c494
LP
320* figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
321
a19554ed
LP
322* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
323
1cb88f2c
LP
324* 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().
325
326* fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
327* fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
328* fedup: generator
603cd8fe 329
b44be3ec 330* timedated:
b44be3ec 331 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
6d0274f1 332
a7a3f28b
LP
333* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
334
9b27910b
LP
335* introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
336
b44be3ec 337* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
08f95888 338
7d8197d1
KS
339* add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
340 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
341 - superset of tmpfiles model
342 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
343 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
344 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
345
9ee58bdd
KS
346* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
347 waiting for the timeout
dcfc4b2e 348
71ef24d0
LP
349* high level net_prio setting in execution context
350
71ef24d0
LP
351* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
352
1b89884b
LP
353* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
354
15abdb9a 355* refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
1920e37e 356
b44be3ec
LP
357* nspawn:
358 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
359 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
360 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
361 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
362 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
eb124a97
LP
363 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
364 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
365 interfaces to the container
366 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
367 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 368 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
b44be3ec
LP
369
370* cryptsetup:
b44be3ec
LP
371 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
372 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
373 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
5f1dac6b 374 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
f8019684 375
de34a42b
LP
376* move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
377
424a19f8 378* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
41f9172f 379 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712

68f16003
LP
408* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
409 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
410 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
411 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 412 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
68f16003 413 but much rather a disconnect on success.

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