ee9c9500 1Bugfixes:
19aadacf 2* enabling an instance unit creates a pointless link, and
cff452c7
KS
3 the unit will be started with getty@getty.service:
4 $ systemctl enable getty@.service
5 ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service' '/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@.service'
6
f957632b
KS
7* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
8 automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
9 anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
10
a40593a0 11* properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
20ffc4c4 12
19aadacf 13* When we detect invalid UTF-8, we cannot use it in an error message:
ea92ae33
MW
14 log...("Path is not UTF-8 clean, ignoring assignment: %s", rvalue);
15
04ac7992
ZJS
16* shorten the message to sane length:
17
18 Cannot add dependency job for unit display-manager.service, ignoring: Unit display-manager.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status display-manager.service' for details.
19
f38afcd0 20External:
7b4da18c 21
f38afcd0 22* ps should gain colums for slice
81d112a8 23
f38afcd0 24* Fedora: when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
466784c8 25 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975864
55d32caf 26
f38afcd0 27* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
bafb15ba 28
f38afcd0 29* Fedora: post FPC ticket to move add %tmpfiles_create to the packaging guidelines
bafb15ba 30
eb124a97 31Features:
154ff088 32
b6741478
LP
33* libsystemd-journal returns the object created as first param in sd_journal_new(), sd_bus_new() and suchlike as last...
34
f38afcd0
LP
35* cgroups:
36 - implement system-wide DefaultCPUAccounting=1 switch (and similar for blockio, memory?)
37 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
38 - handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
39 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
40 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
41 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
42 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
43 the hierarchies of child processes
0bee65f0 44
f38afcd0
LP
45* transient units:
46 - allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
47 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
48 - ensure scope units may be started only a single time
ebcf1f97 49
08cd1552 50* code cleanup
08cd1552 51 - we probably should replace the left-over uses of strv_append() and replace them by strv_push() or strv_extend()
2e41a51e 52
718db961
LP
53* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
54
55* move libasyncns into systemd as libsystemd-asyncns
56
f38afcd0 57* machined, localed: when we try to kill an empty cgroup, generate an ESRCH error over the bus
718db961
LP
58
59* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
60
966204e0
LP
61* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
62
94676f3e 63* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
6fd4d020 64
ced4d067
LP
65* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
66
f38afcd0 67* socket-proxyd:Use a nonblocking alternative to getaddrinfo
41644622 68
41644622
LP
69* rfkill,backlight: we probably should run the load tools inside of the udev rules so that the state is properly initialized by the time other software sees it
70
9db76355
LP
71* Add a new Distribute=$NUMBER key to socket units that makes use of SO_REUSEPORT to distribute network traffic on $NUMBER instances
72
baa89da4
LP
73* move config_parse_path_strv() out of conf-parser.c
74
7f79cd71 75* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
0aafd43d 76
19aadacf
JE
77* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
78 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
df5f6971
LP
79 path anyway.
80
19aadacf 81* When a Type=forking service fails and needed another service, that
982e44db
LP
82 service is not cleaned up again when it has StopWhenUnneeded=yes
83 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2013-July/012141.html
84
fcba531e
LP
85* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
86
19aadacf 87* given that logind/machined now let PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
e1b7e7ec
LP
88 probably reduce the capability set they retain substantially.
89
6aaa8c2f 90* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
c3bb87db 91
e1b7e7ec 92* make sure gdm doesn't use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
18d4e7c2 93
bdeeb6b5
LP
94* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
95
96* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
97
9444b1f2 98* gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
69af4503 99 maybe we should stop doing auto-activation of this after boot
9444b1f2 100 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
466784c8
KS
101 Maybe take a BSD lock at the disk device node and teach udev to
102 check for that and suppress event handling.
9444b1f2 103
1f263d4d
LP
104* document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
105
19aadacf 106* something pulls in pcre as shared object dependency into our daemons such as hostnamed.
1f263d4d 107
4e09014d
LP
108* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
109 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
110
eb01ba5d 111* libsystemd-bus:
eb01ba5d 112 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
86312ab8 113 - implement monitor logic
f38afcd0 114 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
f38afcd0
LP
115 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
116 - SD_BUS_COMMENT() macro for inclusion in vtables, syntax inspired by gdbus
bee7e928
LP
117 - systemd-bus-proxyd needs to enforce good old XML policy
118 - upload minimal kdbus policy into the kernel at boot
80caea6c 119 - kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
0a825b5c
LP
120 - longer term:
121 * priority queues
122 * priority inheritance
df98a87b
LP
123 - dbus spec updates:
124 - kdbus mapping
125 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
126 - GVariant
bee7e928 127 - "const" properties (posted)
f38afcd0
LP
128
129* sd-event
12179984 130 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
eb01ba5d 131
154ff088
LP
132* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
133 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
134 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
135
d686f034
LP
136* Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
137 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
138
69af4503 139* maybe add a warning to the unit file parses where the access mode of unit files is nonsensical.
19aa7c4f 140
69af4503 141* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
e8a7a315 142
461bd8e4
LP
143* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
144 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
145
ab8e074c
LP
146* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
147
148* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
149
b454b112
LP
150* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
151
152* timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
153
06db8540
LP
154* timedatectl: print a nicer message when enabling ntp fails because ntpd/chrony are not installed
155
4ff49cb6
LP
156* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
157
fff87a35
ZJS
158* test/:
159 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
160 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
b8b4d3dd 161
b8b4d3dd
LP
162* systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
163
3df82d5a
LP
164* make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
165 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
166 file.
167
b5c03638
LP
168* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
169 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
170 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
171 destination.
172
eece8c6f
LP
173* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
174 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
175
356ce991
LP
176* add ConditionArchitecture= or so
177
178* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
179
3b953d68
JT
180* Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
181 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
182 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
183 old.
184
09f727ee
LP
185* after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
186 need manual exponential loops after all
187
795607b2
LP
188* BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
189 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
190 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
191 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
192
0be8342c
LP
193* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
194 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
195 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
196 that automatically.
197
e5ec62c5 198* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
54c31a79 199
826872b6
LP
200* journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
201
54c31a79 202* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
826872b6 203
3679d112
LP
204* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
205
3679d112
LP
206* write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
207
208* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
209
cbb77121
LP
210* use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
211
d01a73b6
LP
212* timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
213
f8aeee1f
LP
214* dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
215 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
216 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
217 will be activated.
218
356ce991 219* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
490b7e47 220
81d112a8 221* introduce ExecCondition= in services
490b7e47 222
b44be3ec 223* EFI:
b44be3ec 224 - write man page for efi boot generator
b44be3ec
LP
225 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
226 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
466784c8 227 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
e4181484 228
c0fe5db5 229* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
e9fd44b7 230
b44be3ec 231* re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
e9fd44b7 232
b44be3ec
LP
233* fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
234 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
3040728b 235
b44be3ec 236* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
8ed20651 237
b44be3ec 238* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
e6c6e7af 239
b44be3ec
LP
240* logind:
241 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
242 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
243 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
244 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
245 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
b44be3ec
LP
246 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
247 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
b44be3ec 248 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
e5ec62c5 249 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
f38afcd0
LP
250 - when logging out, remove user-owned sysv and posix IPC objects
251 - session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
252 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
253 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
254 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
255 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
256 needs setuid().
e673ad04 257
b44be3ec 258* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
e673ad04 259
b44be3ec 260* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
e673ad04 261
b44be3ec 262* journal:
c06bf414 263 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
b44be3ec
LP
264 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
265 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
266 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
267 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
268 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
269 - journal: reuse XZ context
270 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
271 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
272 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
273 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
274 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
275 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
276 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
f47ec8eb 277 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
b44be3ec
LP
278 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
279 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
b44be3ec 280 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
b44be3ec
LP
281 - 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.
282 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
283 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
b44be3ec 284 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
f47ec8eb 285 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
b44be3ec
LP
286 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
287 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
288 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
289 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
b44be3ec
LP
290 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
291 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
601d9d6f 292 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
f38afcd0
LP
293 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
294 - journalctl: support -M to read journal of containers and determine journal directory from root directory of container
295 - tmpfiles: when applying ownership to /run/log/journal, also do this for the journal fails contained in it
296 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
297 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
298 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
299 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
300 to syslog when it works again.
301 - journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
302 - change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
303 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
304 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
305 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
b44be3ec
LP
306
307* document:
b44be3ec
LP
308 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
309 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
310 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
311 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
312 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
313 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
b44be3ec 314 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
eb124a97 315 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
f38afcd0
LP
316 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
317 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
318 - man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
319 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
320 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
321 - man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
322 - man: add more examples to man pages
323 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
b44be3ec
LP
324
325* systemctl:
326 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
327 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
328 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
329 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
330 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
331 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
332 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
333 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
334 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
335 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
336 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
337 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
338 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
f38afcd0 339 - rework wait filter to not require match callback
f38afcd0
LP
340 - better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
341 - systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
342 - in systemctl list-timers show time trggering units ran last
343
344* unit install:
345 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
346 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
347 - "systemctl disable" of a unit instance removes all symlinks, but should
348 only remove the instance symlink (systemctl disable of a template
349 unit however should remove them all).
350 - systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
351 - systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
8b04b925 352
e673ad04
LP
353* introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
354
b44be3ec
LP
355* deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
356
357* timer units:
b44be3ec
LP
358 - timer events with system resume
359 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
360 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
361 o DST changes
eb124a97 362 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
f38afcd0
LP
363 - calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
364 - 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
90e071d1
LP

368* update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
369
370* sync down the system time to the RTC when:
f6113d42
KS
371 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
372 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
d2e83c23 373 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
7a43e910 374 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
d2e83c23 375 user did not request anything like it.

377* if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
378 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
379 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.

e707c494
LP
381* libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
382 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
383 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
7f873283

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

386 better supported alternative.

424 interfaces to the container
eb124a97 425 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
3679d112 426 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
9cb74bcb 427 - refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty /etc/machine-id (not OK).
f38afcd0
LP
428 - add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
429 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
430 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
431 kernel.

68f16003
LP
468* drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
469 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
470 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
471 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
edca2e23 472 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,

501* automount: implement expire:
502 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
503 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
504 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
505 - blocking, needs a thread
506 - run until -EAGAIN
507 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
508 - call umount
509 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
