journal: add logging of effective capabilities _CAP_EFFECTIVE
[thirdparty/systemd.git] / TODO
1 Bugfixes:
2 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
3
4 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
5
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
10 * make polkit checks async
11
12 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
13
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
22 Fedora 19:
23
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
27 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
28
29 * cgroup attrs:
30 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
31
32 * localed:
33 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
34
35 * when installing fedora with yum --installroot /var/run is a directory, not a symlink
36
37 CGroup Rework Completion:
38
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
49 * make BlockIODeviceWeight=, BlockIODeviceBandwidth= runtime settable
50
51 * introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
52
53 * man: document new bus apis
54
55 * Send SIGHUP and SIGTERM in session scopes
56
57 Features:
58
59 * when parsing calendar timestamps support the UTC timezone (even if we won't support arbitrary timezone specs, support UTC itself certainly makes sense)
60
61 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
62
63 * journald: optionally, when messages with a high log prioerity are logged, sync() immeidately.
64
65 * introduce %v resolving to the string returned by "uname -r"
66
67 * systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
68
69 * Get rid of systemd-sysv:
70 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Toshio/Systemd_Convert_draft
71
72 * do we really need both hasprefix() and startswith()?
73
74 * when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop we should ratelimit that too.
75
76 * journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
77 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
78 to syslog when it works again.
79
80 * prohibit Restart= set with Type=oneshot
81
82 * man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
83
84 * load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
85
86 * move systemctl set-log-level to systemd-analyze?
87
88 * move "systemctl dump" to systemd-analyze
89
90 * add a fixed dbus path for "my own unit", "my own session", ... to PID1, logind, ...
91
92 * service_coldplug() appears to reinstall the wrong stop timeout watch?
93
94 * transient units: allow creating auxiliary units with the same call
95
96 * how to reset dynamically changed attributes sanely?
97
98 * when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
99
100 * journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
101
102 * libsystemd-logind: sd_session_is_active() and friends: verify
103 validity of session name before appending it to a path
104
105 * gparted needs to disable auto-activation of mount units somehow, or
106 maybe we should stop doing auto-activiation of this after boot
107 entirely. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=701676
108
109 * when a service changes state make reflect that in the
110 RUNNING/LISTENING states of its socket
111
112 * when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
113 the hierarchies of child processes
114
115 * document logic of auto/noauto and fail/nofail in fstab in systemd.mount or systemd-fstab-generator man page
116
117 * we should properly escape ssh hostnames we add into dbus server strings
118
119 * something pulls in pcre as so dep into our daemons such as hostnamed.
120
121 * cgroup-agent: downgrade error messages
122
123 * document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
124
125 * chane systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
126 boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
127 so that we don't keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
128 hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
129
130 * allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
131 ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
132
133 * libsystemd-journal:
134 - return ECHILD as soon as somebody tries to reuse a journal object across a fork()
135
136 * libsystemd-bus:
137 - default policy (allow uid == 0 and our own uid)
138 - enforce alignment of pointers passed in
139 - when kdbus doesn't take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
140 - implement translator service
141 - port systemd to new library
142 - implement busname unit type in systemd
143 - move to gvariant
144 - merge busctl into systemctl or so?
145 - synthesize sd_bus_message objects from kernel messages
146 - properly implement name registry ioctls for kdbus
147 - get rid of object hash table, use decision tree everyhwere instead?
148 - implement monitor logic
149 - object vtable logic
150 - longer term:
151 * priority queues
152 * priority inheritance
153
154 * in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
155 complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
156 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
157
158 * add an option to nspawn that uses seccomp to make socket(AF_NETLINK,
159 SOCK_RAW, NETLINK_AUDIT) fail the the appropriate error code that
160 makes the audit userspace to think auditing is not available in the
161 kernel.
162
163 * Introduce a way how we can kill the main process of a service with KillSignal, but all processes with SIGKILL later on
164 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=952634
165
166 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
167
168 * investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
169
170 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
171 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
172
173 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
174 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
175 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
176 needs setuid().
177
178 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
179
180 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
181
182 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
183
184 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
185
186 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
187
188 * we need dynamic units
189
190 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
191
192 * test/:
193 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
194 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
195 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
196
197 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
198
199 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
200
201 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
202 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
203 file.
204
205 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
206 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
207 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
208 destination.
209
210 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
211
212 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
213 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
214
215 * teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
216 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
217 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
218
219 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
220
221 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
222
223 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
224 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
225 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
226 old.
227
228 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
229 need manual exponential loops after all
230
231 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
232 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
233 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
234 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
235
236 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
237
238 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
239 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
240 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
241 that automatically.
242
243 * rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
244
245 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
246
247 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
248
249 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
250
251 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
252
253 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
254
255 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
256
257 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
258
259 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
260
261 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
262
263 * man: add more examples to man pages
264
265 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
266
267 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
268
269 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
270
271 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
272 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
273 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
274 individually.
275
276 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
277
278 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
279
280 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
281 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
282
283 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
284 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
285 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
286 will be activated.
287
288 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
289
290 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
291
292 * EFI:
293 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
294 - write man page for efi boot generator
295 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
296 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
297 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
298
299 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
300
301 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
302
303 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
304 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
305
306 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
307
308 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
309
310 * logind:
311 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
312 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
313 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
314 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
315 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
316 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
317 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
318 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
319 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
320 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
321 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
322
323 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
324
325 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
326
327 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
328
329 * journal:
330 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
331 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
332 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
333 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
334 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
335 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
336 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
337 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
338 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
339 - journal: reuse XZ context
340 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
341 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
342 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
343 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
344 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
345 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
346 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
347 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
348 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
349 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
350 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
351 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
352 - 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.
353 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
354 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
355 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
356 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
357 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
358 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
359 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
360 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
361 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
362 - journalctl: expand tabs
363 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
364 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
365 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
366 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
367
368 * document:
369 - document unit_name_mangle()
370 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
371 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
372 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
373 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
374 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
375 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
376 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
377 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
378
379 * systemctl:
380 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
381 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
382 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
383 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
384 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
385 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
386 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
387 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
388 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
389 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
390 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
391 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
392 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
393
394 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
395
396 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
397
398 * timer units:
399 - configurable jitter for timer events
400 - timer events with system resume
401 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
402 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
403 o DST changes
404 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
405
406 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
407
408 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
409 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
410 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
411 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
412 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
413 user did not request anything like it.
414
415 * hwdb:
416 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
417 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
418
419 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
420 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
421 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
422
423 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
424 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
425 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
426 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
427 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
428 better supported alternative.
429
430 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
431
432 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
433
434 * 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().
435
436 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
437 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
438 * fedup: generator
439
440 * timedated:
441 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
442
443 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
444
445 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
446
447 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
448
449 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
450 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
451 - superset of tmpfiles model
452 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
453 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
454 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
455
456 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
457 waiting for the timeout
458
459 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
460
461 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
462
463 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
464
465 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
466
467 * nspawn:
468 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
469 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
470 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
471 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
472 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
473 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
474 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
475 interfaces to the container
476 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
477 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
478 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
479
480 * cryptsetup:
481 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
482 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
483 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
484 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
485
486 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
487
488 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
489 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
490
491 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
492
493 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
494
495 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
496 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
497
498 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
499
500 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
501
502 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
503
504 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
505
506 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
507
508 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
509
510 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
511
512 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
513
514 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
515
516 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
517
518 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
519 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
520 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
521 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
522 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
523 but much rather a disconnect on success.
524
525 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
526
527 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
528
529 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
530
531 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
532
533 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
534
535 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
536
537 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
538
539 * syscall filter:
540 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
541 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
542 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
543 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
544 - system-wide seccomp filter
545
546 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
547
548 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
549 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
550
551 * introduce Type=pid-file
552
553 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
554
555 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
556
557 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
558
559 * automount: implement expire:
560 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
561 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
562 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
563 - blocking, needs a thread
564 - run until -EAGAIN
565 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
566 - call umount
567 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
568 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
569
570 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
571
572 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
573
574 * udev:
575 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
576 - move to LGPL
577 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
578 - kill scsi_id
579 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
580
581 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
582
583 * when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
584
585 * support container_ttys=
586
587 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
588
589 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
590
591 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
592
593 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
594
595 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
596
597 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
598
599 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
600
601 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
602
603 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
604
605 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
606
607 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
608 needs to be auto-respawned?
609
610 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
611
612 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
613
614 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
615
616 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
617
618 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
619
620 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
621 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
622
623 * move PAM code into its own binary
624
625 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
626 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
627
628 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
629
630 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
631
632 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
633
634 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
635 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
636 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
637
638 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
639 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
640
641 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
642
643 * readahead:
644 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
645 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
646 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
647 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
648 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
649
650 * add support for /bin/mount -s
651
652 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
653
654 * write blog stories about:
655 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
656 - enabling dbus services
657 - status update
658 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
659 - remote access
660 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
661 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
662 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
663 - auto-restart
664 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
665 - the journal HTTP iface
666 - non-cgroup resource management
667 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
668 - refreshed, longer missions statement
669 - calendar time events
670 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
671 - how to create your own target
672 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
673 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
674
675 * allow port=0 in .socket units
676
677 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
678
679 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
680
681 * Support --test based on current system state
682
683 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
684
685 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
686
687 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
688
689 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
690 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
691 - cups HAVEPATCH
692 - postfix, saslauthd
693 - apache/samba
694 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
695 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
696 - distccd
697
698 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
699
700 * io priority during initialization
701
702 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
703
704 * systemd-python:
705 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
706 works with ^C
707 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
708
709 * bootchart:
710 - plot per-process IO utilization
711 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
712 - document initcall_debug
713 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
714
715 External:
716
717 * dbus:
718 - dbus --user
719 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
720 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
721 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
722 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
723 - always pass cred data along each message
724 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
725
726 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
727
728 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
729
730 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
731
732 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
733 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
734 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
735 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
736 the RTC to sync up.
737
738 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
739
740 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
741
742 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
743
744 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
745
746 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
747
748 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
749
750 * fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
751
752 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
753
754 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
755
756 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
757
758 Regularly:
759
760 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
761
762 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
763
764 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
765
766 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
767
768 * pahole
769
770 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
771
772 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
773
774 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
775
776 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
777
778 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
