TODO: update
[thirdparty/systemd.git] / TODO
1 Bugfixes:
2 * systemctl status *.path shows all logs, not only the ones since the unit is
3 active
4
5 * check systemd-tmpfiles for selinux context hookup for mknod(), symlink() and similar
6
7 * swap units that are activated by one name but shown in the kernel under another are semi-broken
8
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
13 * make polkit checks async
14
15 * properly handle .mount unit state tracking when two mount points are stacked one on top of another on the exact same mount point.
16
17 Fedora 19:
18
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
22 that's sometimes kinda hard to parse for a human.
23
24 * cgroup attrs:
25 - update dbus interface docs in wiki
26
27 * localed:
28 - localectl: support new converted x11→console keymaps
29
30 Features:
31
32 * maybe add a warning to the unit file parses whern the acces mode of unit files is non-sensical.
33
34 * investigate endianess issues of UUID vs. GUID
35
36 * see if we can fix https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63672
37 without dropping the location cache entirely.
38
39 * dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
40 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
41
42 * if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
43 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
44 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
45 needs setuid().
46
47 * add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
48
49 * add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
50
51 * maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
52
53 * timedatctl, localectl: possibly make some commands work without the daemon, for chroot situations...
54
55 * logind: add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
56
57 * we need dynamic units
58
59 * add s.th. like "systemctl set-log-level debug"
60
61 * cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
62
63 * test/:
64 - add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
65 - make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
66 - remove all the duplicated code in test/
67
68 * suppress log output on shutdown when "quiet" is used
69
70 * systemctl delete x.snapshot leaves no trace in logs (at least at default level).
71
72 * make the coredump collector tool move itself into the user's cgroup
73 so that the coredump is properly written to the user's own journal
74 file.
75
76 * move /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname parsing from udevd to
77 kmod static-nodes
78 call kmod as an early service, and drop CAP_MKNOD from udevd.service
79
80 * systemd-delta needs to be made aware of *.d/*.conf drop-in files for
81 units.
82
83 * seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
84 destination path over /etc and /usr. We shouldn't do that. Instead
85 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
86 destination.
87
88 * remove duplicate default deps logic from fstab-generator vs. mount.c
89
90 * when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
91 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
92
93 * teach udev + logind's uaccess to somehow handle the "dead" device nodes from:
94 /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.devname
95 and apply ACLs to them if they have TAG=="uaccess" in udev rules.
96
97 * add ConditionArchitecture= or so
98
99 * teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
100
101 * we should log capabilities too
102
103 * Support SO_REUSEPORT with socket activation:
104 - Let systemd maintain a pool of servers.
105 - Use for seamless upgrades, by running the new server before stopping the
106 old.
107
108 * after all byte-wise realloc() is slow, even on glibc, so i guess we
109 need manual exponential loops after all
110
111 * BootLoaderSpec: drop allowing ext234 for $BOOT. Clarify that the
112 kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify that the boot loader should be
113 installed to the ESP. Define a way how an installer can figure out
114 whether a BLS compliant boot loader is installed.
115
116 * man: remove .include documentation, and instead push people to use .d/*.conf
117
118 * think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
119 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
120 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
121 that automatically.
122
123 * rework specifier logic so that we can distuingish OOM errors from other errors
124
125 * systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
126
127 * journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
128
129 * remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably can't do this before split-off udev is gone for good
130
131 * documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
132
133 * add a tool that lists active timer units plus their next elapstion and the time the units ran last
134
135 * man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
136
137 * shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
138
139 * man: extend runlevel(8) to mention that runlevels suck, and are dead. Maybe add runlevel(7) with a note about that too
140
141 * systemctl: maybe add "systemctl add-wants" or so...
142
143 * man: add more examples to man pages
144
145 * man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
146
147 * write UI tool that pops up emergency messages from the journal as notification
148
149 * think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
150
151 * msgcatalog determine default language of entries from the catalog
152 file name. i.e. foobar.de_DE.catalog would set the default entry
153 name for the entries to de_DE if they aren't explicitly suffixed
154 individually.
155
156 * use "log level" rather than "log priority" everywhere
157
158 * timedate: have global on/off switches for auto-time (NTP), and auto-timezone that connman can subscribe to.
159
160 * Honour "-" prefix for InaccessibleDirectories= and ReadOnlyDirectories= to
161 suppress errors of the specified path doesn't exist
162
163 * dev-setup.c: when running in a container, create a tiny stub udev
164 database with the systemd tag set for all network interfaces found,
165 so that libudev reports them as present, and systemd's .device units
166 will be activated.
167
168 * merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
169
170 * introduce ExecCondition= in services
171
172 * EFI:
173 - fsck hookup for the ESP mount is missing
174 - write man page for efi boot generator
175 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
176 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
177 - introduce bootctl (backed by systemd-bootd) to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
178
179 * maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
180
181 * re-enable "make check" for gtk-doc (broken for unknown reason)
182
183 * fstab: add new mount option x-systemd-after=/foobar/waldo to allow manual dependencies to other mount points
184 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=812826
185
186 * print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
187
188 * mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
189
190 * logind:
191 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
192 - When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
193 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
194 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
195 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
196 - logind: spawn user@..service on login
197 - logind: non-local X11 server handling
198 - logind: add equivalent to sd_pid_get_owner_uid() to the D-Bus API
199 - pam: when leaving a session explicitly exclude the ReleaseSession() caller process from the killing spree
200 - logind: GetSessionByPID() should accept 0 as PID value
201 - we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
202 - add configuration/switches to use
203 freeze (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git) and
204 standby (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57793) as suspend modes
205
206 * exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
207
208 * DeviceAllow/DeviceDeny: disallow everything by default, but whitelist /dev/zero, /dev/null and friends
209
210 * service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
211
212 * journal:
213 - do not use magic msync() in src/journal/journal-file.c, just call fsync()
214 <alxchk> poettering: looks like msync just calls vfs_fsync
215 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/mm/msync.c#n18
216 - import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
217 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
218 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
219 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
220 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we can't log natively?
221 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
222 - journal: reuse XZ context
223 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
224 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
225 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
226 message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
227 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
228 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
229 - journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
230 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
231 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
232 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
233 - journal: when rotating, copy over old acls/access mode
234 - journal: send out marker messages every now and then, and immediately sync with fdatasync() afterwards, in order to have hourly guaranteed syncs.
235 - 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.
236 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
237 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
238 - Introduce journalctl -b <nr> to show journal messages of a previous boot
239 - journald: check whether it is OK if the client can still modify delivered journal entries
240 - journal live copy, based on libneon (client) and libmicrohttpd (server)
241 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
242 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
243 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
244 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
245 - journalctl: show multiline log messages sanely, expand tabs, and show all valid utf8 messages
246 - journal: store euid in journal if it differs from uid
247 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
248 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
249 - Port upower to use the journal for historical power information used in future calculations
250
251 * document:
252 - document unit_name_mangle()
253 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fileds in
254 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
255 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
256 - Document word splitting syntax for ExecStart= and friends
257 - document that units from /etc override those from /usr and /run
258 - document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
259 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
260 - document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
261
262 * systemctl:
263 - systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
264 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
265 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
266 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
267 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
268 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
269 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
270 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
271 - systemctl enable: improve the success messages (i.e. more human readable, less shell-like)
272 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into doesn't exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
273 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
274 - support "systemctl stop foobar@.service" to stop all units matching a certain template
275 - Something is wrong with symlink handling of "autovt@.service" in "systemctl list-unit-files"
276
277 * introduce ntp.service (or suchlike) as symlink that is used to arbitrate between various NTP implementations
278
279 * deal with sendmail/postfix exclusivity
280
281 * timer units:
282 - configurable jitter for timer events
283 - timer events with system resume
284 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
285 o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
286 o DST changes
287 - Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
288
289 * update the kernel's TZ (sys_tz) when DST changes
290
291 * sync down the system time to the RTC when:
292 - CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (the user explicitely requested a time set)
293 - DST/timezone changes && ntp is active && RTC-in-localtime (never do it without ntp)
294 This takes care of syncing ntpdate updates to the RTC, and DST updates for localtime
295 mode, it will never touch the RTC if the no reliable time source is active or the
296 user did not request anything like it.
297
298 * hwdb:
299 - implement conditional properties (dmi matches)
300 - hwdb --filter=ID_DRIVE_*
301
302 * if booted in "quiet" mode, and an error happens, turn on status
303 output again, so that the emergency mode isn't totally
304 surprising. Also, terminate plymouth.
305
306 * libunwind support for coredump pattern hook, and includes this in
307 the message for coredumps. After all, libunwind is now capable to
308 unwind coredumps since a few weeks ago. This probably requires that
309 we have nice support for multi-line messages on display in
310 logs-show.c. Alternatively: use libelfutil, which seems to be the
311 better supported alternative.
312
313 * figure out relation of --all and --full in the various tools
314
315 * add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
316
317 * 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().
318
319 * fedup: add --unit to systemctl switch-root somehow
320 * fedup: don't delete initrd on switch-root
321 * fedup: generator
322
323 * timedated:
324 - timedated: refuse time changes when NTP is on
325
326 * clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
327
328 * introduce generic AUGMENT_PID=, AUGMENT_DEVICE= fields
329
330 * on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
331
332 * add "provisioning" instructions to setup an empty /etc + /var
333 - used to setup a new container from a shared /usr
334 - superset of tmpfiles model
335 - instructions shipped by packages and stored in /usr/lib/
336 - compose /etc/passwd and /etc/group, copy files
337 - able to create uid + gid used by packages, for file ownership
338
339 * make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
340 waiting for the timeout
341
342 * high level net_prio setting in execution context
343
344 * hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
345
346 * currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab isn't
347
348 * refuse boot if /etc/machine-id is not useful (or set taint?)
349
350 * nspawn:
351 - nspawn: consider changing users for -u with su, so that NSS resolving works correctly
352 - nspawn: implement personality changes a la linux32(8)
353 - nspawn: --read-only is not applied recursively to submounts
354 - nspawn: make use of device cgroup controller by default
355 - bind mount read-only the cgroup tree higher than nspawn
356 - nspawn: investigate whether we can support the same as LXC's
357 lxc.network.type=phys mode, and pass through entire network
358 interfaces to the container
359 - nspawn: maybe add a way to drop additional caps, in addition to add additional caps
360 - nspawn: maybe explicitly reset loginuid?
361 - nspawn: make it work for dwalsh and shared /usr containers -- tmpfs mounts as command line parameters, selinux exec context
362
363 * cryptsetup:
364 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
365 - move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
366 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
367 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
368
369 * move debug shell to tty6 and make sure this doesn't break the gettys on tty6
370
371 * hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
372 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
373
374 * after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
375
376 * make timer units go away after they elapsed
377
378 * http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2012-September/006502.html
379 (network and remote-fs on shutdown)
380
381 * come up with a nice way to write queue/read_ahead_kb for a block device without interfering with readahead
382
383 * move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
384
385 * create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
386
387 * Query Paul Moore about relabelling socket fds while they are open
388
389 * system.conf should have controls for cgroups
390
391 * allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
392
393 * explore multiple service instances per listening socket idea
394
395 * shutdown: don't read-only mount anything when running in container
396
397 * MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
398
399 * ReadOnlyDirectories= is not applied recursively to submounts
400
401 * drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
402 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
403 can't delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
404 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
405 when done. That means clients don't get a successful method reply,
406 but much rather a disconnect on success.
407
408 * remember which condition failed for services, not just the fact that something failed
409
410 * use opterr = 0 for all getopt tools
411
412 * properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
413
414 * allow services with no ExecStart= but with an ExecStop=
415
416 * dracut-shutdown needs to be ordered before unmounting /boot
417
418 * initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
419
420 * rename "userspace" to "core-os"
421
422 * syscall filter:
423 - syscall filter: add knowledge about compat syscalls
424 - syscall filter: don't enforce no new privs?
425 - syscall filter: option to return EPERM rather than SIGSYS?
426 - syscall filter: port to libseccomp
427 - system-wide seccomp filter
428
429 * .device aliases need to be implemented with the "following" logic, probably.
430
431 * load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
432 verify that it isn't masked via any of the names traversed.
433
434 * introduce Type=pid-file
435
436 * change Requires=basic.target to RequisiteOverride=basic.target
437
438 * when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
439
440 * move passno parsing to fstab generator
441
442 * automount: implement expire:
443 - set superblock timeout AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_TIMEOUT_CMD
444 - periodically run AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD
445 - every timeout/4 (original autofs logic)
446 - blocking, needs a thread
447 - run until -EAGAIN
448 - receive expire packet on pipe if kernel tells the timeout is over
449 - call umount
450 - answer expire packet on pipe with AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_{READY,FAIL}_CMD
451 - AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_EXPIRE_CMD returns
452
453 * services which create their own subcgroups break cgroup-empty notification (needs to be fixed in the kernel)
454
455 * ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
456
457 * ConditionSecurity= should learn about IMA and SMACK
458
459 * udev:
460 - remove src/udev/udev-builtin-firmware.c (CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=n)
461 - move to LGPL
462 - unify utf8 validator code with shared/
463 - kill scsi_id
464 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
465
466 * cleanup syslog 'priority' vs. 'level' wording
467
468 * 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
469
470 * support container_ttys=
471
472 * introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
473
474 * add DeleteSocketsOnStop=yes|no option to socket units
475
476 * There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
477
478 * add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
479
480 * default unix qlen is too small (10). bump sysctl? add sockopt?
481
482 * save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
483
484 * support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
485
486 * clean up session cgroups that remain after logout (think sshd), but eventually run empty
487
488 * when an instanced service exits, remove its parent cgroup too if possible.
489
490 * default to actual 32bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
491
492 * be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
493 needs to be auto-respawned?
494
495 * when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
496
497 * tmpfiles: apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
498
499 * for services: don't set $HOME in services unless requested
500
501 * hide PAM/TCPWrap options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
502
503 * when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
504
505 * allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
506 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
507
508 * move PAM code into its own binary
509
510 * implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
511 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
512
513 * make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
514
515 * support sd_notify() style notification when reload begins (RELOADING=1), reload is finished (READY=1), and add ReloadSignal= then to use in combination
516
517 * support sd_notify() style notification when shutting down, to make auto-exit bus services work (STOPPING=1)
518
519 * verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
520 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
521 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
522
523 * Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
524 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
525
526 * and a dbus call to generate target from current state
527
528 * readahead:
529 - drop /.readahead on bigger upgrades with yum
530 - move readahead files into /var (look for them with .path units?)
531 - readahead: use BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG_RANGE instead of BTRFS_IOC_DEFRAG ioctl, with START_IO
532 - readahead: when bumping /sys readahead variable save mtime and compare later to detect changes
533 - readahead: make use of EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, as used by http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/
534
535 * add support for /bin/mount -s
536
537 * GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
538
539 * write blog stories about:
540 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
541 - enabling dbus services
542 - status update
543 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
544 - remote access
545 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
546 - how to integrate cgconfig and suchlike with systemd
547 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
548 - auto-restart
549 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
550 - the journal HTTP iface
551 - non-cgroup resource management
552 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
553 - refreshed, longer missions statement
554 - calendar time events
555 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
556 - how to create your own target
557 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
558 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
559
560 * allow port=0 in .socket units
561
562 * support systemd.mask= on the kernel command line.
563
564 * recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
565
566 * Support --test based on current system state
567
568 * investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
569
570 * maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
571
572 * dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
573
574 * port over to LISTEN_FDS/LISTEN_PID:
575 - rpcbind (/var/run/rpcbind.sock!) HAVEPATCH
576 - cups HAVEPATCH
577 - postfix, saslauthd
578 - apache/samba
579 - libvirtd (/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock-ro)
580 - bluetoothd (/var/run/sdp! @/org/bluez/audio!)
581 - distccd
582
583 * fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
584
585 * io priority during initialization
586
587 * drop cap bounding set in readahead and other services
588
589 * systemd-python:
590 - figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
591 works with ^C
592 - add documentation to systemd.daemon
593
594 * bootchart:
595 - plot per-process IO utilization
596 - group processes based on service association (cgroups)
597 - document initcall_debug
598 - kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
599
600 External:
601
602 * dbus:
603 - dbus --user
604 - natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
605 - allow specification of socket mode/umask when allocating DBusServer
606 - allow disabling of fd passing when connecting a AF_UNIX connection
607 - allow disabling of UID passing for AUTH EXTERNAL
608 - always pass cred data along each message
609 - teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
610
611 * fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
612
613 * make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
614
615 * patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
616
617 * NTP: the kernel's 11-minutes-mode syncs the system time to the RTC, but only
618 in an ~30 minutes window. It does not adjust larger differences. Find a way
619 to tell the kernel, to always do a full time sync when the RTC is in UTC and
620 we are in 11-minutes-mode. When we trust the system time to NTP we also want
621 the RTC to sync up.
622
623 * kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
624
625 * drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
626
627 * dbus upstream still refers to dbus.target and shouldn't
628
629 * dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
630
631 * add "# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=" to bash login
632
633 * /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
634
635 * 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=
636
637 * fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
638
639 * neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
640
641 * fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
642
643 Regularly:
644
645 * look for close() vs. close_nointr() vs. close_nointr_nofail()
646
647 * check for strerror(r) instead of strerror(-r)
648
649 * Use PR_SET_PROCTITLE_AREA if it becomes available in the kernel
650
651 * %m in printf() instead of strerror(errno);
652
653 * pahole
654
655 * set_put(), hashmap_put() return values check. i.e. == 0 doesn't free()!
656
657 * use secure_getenv() instead of getenv() where appropriate
658
659 * link up selected blog stories from man pages and unit files Documentation= fields
660
661 Scheduled for removal or fixing:
662
663 * xxxOverridable dependencies (probably: fix)
