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

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
bafb15ba
LP
37CGroup Rework Completion:
38
bafb15ba
LP
39* introduce "mainpid" for scopes
40
41* implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
42
43* implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
44
45* handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
46
47* logind: implement session kill exceptions
48
bafb15ba
LP
49* make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
50
049b4474 51* introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
bafb15ba
LP
52
53* man: document new bus apis
54
248aa28f
LP
55* Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
56
eb124a97 57Features:
154ff088 58
18d4e7c2
LP
59* add rpm macros for applying tmpfiles --create after package installation
60
36c0868b
LP
61* when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense), also support syntaxes such as +0200
62
63* journalctl: add an output mode that looks like classic /var/log/messages, but also outputs the cursor of the last entry so that people can write scripts that can run iteratively and always process data that has been added since the last time.
fa7deadb
LP
64
65* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
66
d907c208
LP
67* journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
68
69* introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
70
71* systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
72
47a1454f
LP
73* Get rid of systemd-sysv:
74 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
75
049b4474
LP
76* do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
77
b0adb546
LP
78* when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
79
bdeeb6b5
LP
80* journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
81 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
82 to syslog when it works again.
83
84* prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
85
86* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
87
88* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
89
174da5c5
LP
90* move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
91
fb6becb4
LP
92* move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
93
fb6becb4
LP
94* add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
95
6c12b52e
LP
96* service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
97
11ddb6f4
LP
98* transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
99
7041efe9
LP
100* how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
101
b42defe3
LP
102* when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
103
4ad49000 104* journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
3d3ee759 105
9444b1f2
LP
106* libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
107 validity of session name before appending it to a path
108
9444b1f2
LP
109* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
110 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
111 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
112
a016b922
LP
113* when a service changes state make reflect that in the
114 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
115
a016b922
LP
116* when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
117 the hierarchies of child processes
118
1f263d4d
LP
119* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
120
9444b1f2 121* we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
1f263d4d
LP
122
123* something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
124
4e09014d
LP
125* cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
126
127* document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
128
129* chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
130 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
131 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
132 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
133
134* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
135 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
136
d5a2b9a6
LP
137* libsystemd-journal:
138 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
139
eb01ba5d
LP
140* libsystemd-bus:
141 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
142 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
eb01ba5d 143 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
eb01ba5d
LP
144 - implement translator service
145 - port systemd to new library
146 - implement busname unit type in systemd
147 - move to gvariant
eb01ba5d 148 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
e4ee6e5c 149 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
c7819669 150 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
86312ab8
LP
151 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
152 - implement monitor logic
153 - object vtable logic
154 - longer term:
155 * priority queues
86312ab8 156 * priority inheritance
eb01ba5d 157
154ff088
LP
158* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
159 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
160 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
161
7e853a9b
LP
162* add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
163 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
164 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
165 kernel.
166
d686f034
LP
167* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
168 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
169
19aa7c4f
LP
170* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
171
aa96c6cb 172* investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 173
461bd8e4
LP
174* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
175 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
176
ab8e074c
LP
177* if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
178 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
179 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
180 needs setuid().
181
182* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
183
184* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
185
b454b112
LP
186* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
187
188* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
189
4a449ed7 190* logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
75512303 191
4a449ed7
LP
192* we need dynamic units
193
4ff49cb6
LP
194* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
195
fff87a35
ZJS
196* test/:
197 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
198 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
199 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
b8b4d3dd
LP
200
201* suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
202
203* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
204
3df82d5a
LP
205* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
206 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
207 file.
208
b5c03638
LP
209* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
210 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
211 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
212 destination.
213
752beb0c
LP
214* remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
215
eece8c6f
LP
216* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
217 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
218
d325d9bc
KS
219* teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
220 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
221 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
3679d112 222
356ce991
LP
223* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
224
225* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
226
3b953d68
JT
227* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
228 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
229 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
230 old.
231
09f727ee
LP
232* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
233 need manual exponential loops after all
234
795607b2
LP
235* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
236 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
237 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
238 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
239
795607b2
LP
240* man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
241
0be8342c
LP
242* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
243 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
244 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
245 that automatically.
246
487060c2
LP
247* rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
248
e5ec62c5 249* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 250
826872b6
LP
251* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
252
54c31a79 253* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 254
8973790e 255* documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
3679d112
LP
256
257* add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
258
259* man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
260
261* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
262
263* man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
264
265* systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
266
3679d112
LP
267* man: add more examples to man pages
268
269* man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
270
3679d112
LP
271* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
272
273* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
274
275* msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
276 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
277 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
278 individually.
279
cbb77121
LP
280* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
281
d01a73b6
LP
282* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
283
990ffbe5 284* Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
f8aeee1f
LP
285 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
286
287* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
288 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
289 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
290 will be activated.
291
356ce991 292* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 293
81d112a8 294* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 295
b44be3ec
LP
296* EFI:
297 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
298 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
299 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
300 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
301 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 302
c0fe5db5 303* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 304
b44be3ec 305* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 306
b44be3ec
LP
307* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
308 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 309
b44be3ec 310* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 311
b44be3ec 312* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 313
b44be3ec
LP
314* logind:
315 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
316 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
317 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
318 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
319 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
320 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
321 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
322 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 323 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
eb124a97 324 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
e5ec62c5 325 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
e673ad04 326
b44be3ec 327* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 328
b44be3ec 329* DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
e673ad04 330
b44be3ec 331* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 332
b44be3ec 333* journal:
b87b8b2b
KS
334 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
335 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
336 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
c06bf414 337 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
338 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
339 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
340 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
341 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
342 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
343 - journal: reuse XZ context
344 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
345 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
346 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
347 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
348 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
349 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
350 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 351 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
352 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
353 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
354 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
b44be3ec 355 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
356 - 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.
357 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
358 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 359 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 360 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
361 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
362 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
363 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
364 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
77a9e8de 365 - journalctl: expand tabs
b44be3ec
LP
366 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
367 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f
JT
368 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
369 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
b44be3ec
LP
370
371* document:
372 - document unit_name_mangle()
373 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
374 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
375 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
376 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
377 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
378 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 379 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 380 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
b44be3ec
LP
381
382* systemctl:
383 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
384 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
385 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
386 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
387 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
388 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
389 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
390 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
391 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
392 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
393 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
394 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
395 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
8b04b925 396
e673ad04

d2e83c23 414 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 415 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the

426* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
427 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
428 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that

429 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in

68f16003
LP
521* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
522 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
523 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
524 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 525 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
