Features:
+* make use of the new statx mountid and rootmount fields in path_get_mnt_id()
+ and fd_is_mount_point()
+
+* nspawn: move "incoming mount" directory to /run/host, move "inaccessible"
+ nodes to /run/host, move notify socket (for sd_notify() between payload and
+ container manager)
+
+* make use of new glibc 2.32 APIs sigabbrev_np() and strerrorname_np().
+
+* cryptsetup: if keyfile specified in crypttab is AF_UNIX socket, connect to it
+ and read from it (like we do elsewhere with READ_FULL_FILE_CONNECT_SOCKET)
+
+* when main nspawn supervisor process gets suspended due to SIGSTOP/SIGTTOU or
+ so, freeze the payload too.
+
+* repart: support setting up dm-integrity with HMAC
+
+* add /etc/integritytab, to support dm-integrity setups. In particular those
+ with HMAC as hash function, so that we can have a protected /home without
+ encryption (leaving encryption to the individual dirs/homed).
+
* complement root=, rootflags=, rootfstype= with rootsubdir= which allows
mounting a subdir of the root fs as actual root. This can be used as
fstype-agnostic version of btrfs' rootflags=subvol=foobar.
* make us use dynamically fewer deps for containers in general purpose distros:
o turn into dlopen() deps:
- - pcre2 (always) — irrelevant on Fedora, since dep by
- libselinux, but should benefit Debian
- libpwquality (always) - only relevant for homed, and maybe soon
firstboot
- elfutils (always)
this, it's useful to have one that can dump contents of them, too.
* All tools that support --root= should also learn --image= so that they can
- operate on disk images directly. Specifically: bootctl, tmpfiles, sysusers,
- systemctl, repart, journalctl, coredumpctl. (Already done: systemd-nspawn,
- systemd-firstboot)

* seccomp: by default mask x32 ABI system wide on x86-64. it's on its way out
right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
output for them.
-* systemd-firstboot: teach it dissector magic, so that you can point it to some
- disk image and it will just set everything in it all behind the scenes.
-
* We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
constant vendor data.
- in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
- fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
- make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
- - description field for groups
- make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
- reuse pwquality magic in firstboot
- query password from kernel keyring first
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
- document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
- define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
+ - maybe support iouring as backend, so that we allow hooking read and write
+ operations instead of IO ready events into event loops. See considerations
+ here:
+ http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/07/rethinking-event-loop-integration-for.html
* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
- - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
+ - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() in the header,
so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
- 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.
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
- assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
+ - check if loop in decompress_blob_xz() is necessary
* add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
(Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
- - man: add more examples to man pages
+ - man: add more examples to man pages,
+ - in particular an example how to do the equivalent of switching runlevels
- man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
- document root=gpt-auto properly
