Lennart Poetteringafe3ab52014-10-24 19:07:01 +02001Bugfixes:
Kay Sieversc343be22014-06-04 11:14:48 +02002
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek54fcb612018-10-16 13:28:39 +02003* Many manager configuration settings that are only applicable to user
4 manager or system manager can be always set. It would be better to reject
5 them when parsing config.

Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01009* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
Lennart Poetteringbafb15b2013-07-11 00:28:35 +020010
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek83a1ff22014-09-03 22:12:51 -040011* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
12
Lennart Poettering5e524b42015-10-26 22:02:13 +010013Janitorial Clean-ups:
14
Lennart Poettering5e524b42015-10-26 22:02:13 +010015* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
16
Lennart Poetteringbb527e12018-06-04 21:00:44 +020017* rework mount.c and swap.c to follow proper state enumeration/deserialization
18 semantics, like we do for device.c now
19
Lennart Poetteringc6407102018-06-07 17:35:58 +020020Features:
21
Lennart Poetteringeffefa32020-05-26 14:46:35 +020022* if /usr/bin/swapoff fails due to OOM, log a friendly explanatory message about it
23
Lennart Poettering6ae8c6f2020-05-26 09:21:40 +020024* build short web pages out of each catalog entry, build them along with man
25 pages, and include hyperlinks to them in the journal output
26
Lennart Poetteringd08a6ec2020-05-19 19:58:26 +020027* machined: add API to acquire UID range. add API to mount/dissect loopback
28 file. Both protected by PK. Then make nspawn use these APIs to run
29 unprivileged containers. i.e. push the truly privileged bits into machined,
30 so that the client side can remain entirely unprivileged, with SUID or
31 anything like that.
32
Lennart Poettering34d16ba2020-05-18 18:29:38 +020033* add "throttling" to sd-event event sources: optionally, when we wake up too
34 often for one, let's turn it off entirely for a while. Use that for the
35 /proc/self/mountinfo logic.
36
Lennart Poettering3d9237d2020-05-11 23:12:56 +020037* move our systemd-user PAM snippet to /usr/, which PAM appears to support
38 these days
39
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +020040* nspawn: support time namespaces
41
Lennart Poettering2d2d7502020-05-26 19:05:54 +020042* add ConditionSecurity=tpm2
43
Lennart Poettering42ba8d22020-05-29 18:32:28 +020044* Remove any support for booting without /usr pre-mounted in the initrd entirely.
45 Update INITRD_INTERFACE.md accordingly.
46
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +020047* pid1: Move to tracking of main pid/control pid of units per pidfd
48
49* pid1: support new clone3() fork-into-cgroup feature
50
Lennart Poettering7cc8fb32020-05-12 20:14:08 +020051* pid1: also remove PID files of a service when the service starts, not just
52 when it exits
53
Lennart Poetteringbfafec22020-05-28 09:38:00 +020054* systemd-path: add ESP and XBOOTLDR path. Add "private" runtime/state/cache dir enum,
55 mapping to $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY, $STATE_DIRECTORY and such
56
Lennart Poettering7cc8fb32020-05-12 20:14:08 +020057* make "systemd-dissect" an official supported tool, i.e. move to /usr/bin/ and
58 provide man page. Given that we now have a tool that can generate images like
59 this, it's useful to have one that can dump contents of them, too.
60
Lennart Poetteringa6e10182020-05-07 23:30:06 +020061* All tools that support --root= should also learn --image= so that they can
62 operate on disk images directly. Specifically: bootctl, firstboot, tmpfiles,
63 sysusers, systemctl, repart, journalctl, coredumpctl.
64
Lennart Poettering112bed82020-06-02 14:56:08 +020065* seccomp: by default mask x32 ABI system wide on x86-64. it's on its way out
66
67* seccomp: don't install filters for ABIs that are masked anyway for the
68 specific service
69
70* seccomp: maybe merge all filters we install into one with that libseccomp API that allows merging.
71
Lennart Poetteringa6e10182020-05-07 23:30:06 +020072* per-service credential system. Specifically: add LoadCredential= (for loading
73 cred from file), AcquireCredential= (for asking user for cred, via
74 ask-password), PassCredential= (for passing on credential systemd itself
75 got). Then, place credentials in a per-service, immutable ramfs instance (so
76 that it cannot be swapped out), destroy after use. Also pass via keyring
77 (with graceful fallback to cover for containers). Define CredentialPath= for
78 defining subdir of /run/credentials/ where to place it. Set $CREDENTIAL_PATH
79 env var for services to the result. Also pass via fd passing (optionally).
80
81* homed: add native recovery key support. use 48 lowercase modhex characters
82 (192bit), show qr code of it, include pattern expression in user record.
83
84* homed: introduce "degraded" state for home directories that weren't cleanly
85 unmounted (use xattr we add and remove on the loop back file)
86
87* homed: during login resize fs automatically towards size goal. Specifically,
88 resize to diskSize if possible, but leave a certain amount (configured by a
89 new value diskLeaveFreeSize) of space free on the backing fs.
90
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +020091* homed: permit multiple user record signing keys to be used locally, and pick
92 the right one for signing records automatically depending on a pre-existing
93 signature
Lennart Poettering1f7c6f92020-05-05 19:36:21 +020094
95* homed: add a way to "adopt" a home directory, i.e. strip foreign signatures
96 and insert a local signature instead.
97
Lennart Poettering15981c22020-05-09 10:37:32 +020098* homed: as an extension to the directory+subvolume backend: if located on
99 especially marked fs, then sync down password into LUKS header of that fs,
100 and always verify passwords against it too. Bootstrapping is a problem
Frantisek Sumsal15dd4512020-05-24 23:00:13 +0200101 though: if no one is logged in (or no other user even exists yet), how do you
Lennart Poettering15981c22020-05-09 10:37:32 +0200102 unlock the volume in order to create the first user and add the first pw.
103
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200104* homed: support new FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl for setting up fscrypt
105
Lennart Poetteringc98fef22020-04-28 19:38:38 +0200106* busctl: maybe expose a verb "ping" for pinging a dbus service to see if it
107 exists and responds.
108
Lennart Poetteringc5ca6d92020-04-21 21:23:01 +0200109* homed: maybe pre-create ~/.cache as subvol so that it can have separate quota
110 easily?
111
Lennart Poettering6663cfd2020-04-13 14:31:46 +0200112* when systemd-nspawn and suchlike dissect an OS image, and there are multiple
113 root partitions, do an strverscmp() on the partition label and boot
114 first. That is inspired how sd-boot figures out which kernel to boot, and
115 thus allows defining OS images which can be A/B updated and we default to the
116 newest version automatically, both in nspawn and in sd-boot
117
Lennart Poettering97cd52c2020-01-29 19:22:26 +0100118* cryptsetup/homed: also support FIDO2 HMAC password logic for unlocking
Lennart Poettering70e9d9a2020-01-29 19:32:39 +0100119 devices. (see: https://github.com/mjec/fido2-hmac-secret)
Lennart Poettering97cd52c2020-01-29 19:22:26 +0100120
Lennart Poetteringd2002532020-01-29 16:55:59 +0100121* systemd-gpt-auto should probably set x-systemd.growfs on the mounts it
122 creates
123
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200124* homed/userdb: distinguish passwords and recovery keys in the records, since
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100125 we probably want to use different PBKDF algorithms/settings for them:
126 passwords have low entropy but recovery keys should have good entropy key
127 hence we can make them quicker to work.
128
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100129* bootctl:
130 - teach it to prepare an ESP wholesale, i.e. with mkfs.vfat invocation
131 - teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
132 - make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
133
Lennart Poetteringe1d32d62020-01-23 22:59:47 +0100134* by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
135 allow so that systemd survives
136
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200137* cryptsetup: allow encoding key directly in /etc/crypttab, maybe with a
138 "base64:" prefix. Useful in particular for pkcs11 mode.
139
Lennart Poettering56a061f2019-12-19 16:43:39 +0100140* cryptsetup: reimplement the mkswap/mke2fs in cryptsetup-generator to use
141 systemd-makefs.service instead.
142
Lennart Poettering91fc0132019-11-12 15:18:37 +0100143* socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200144 with matches, then activate app through that passing socket over
Lennart Poettering91fc0132019-11-12 15:18:37 +0100145
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100146* unify on openssl:
147 - port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
148 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
149 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
150 - port importd over from libgcrypt
151 - when that's done: kill khash.c
152 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
153
Lennart Poettering0e7e8542019-11-29 17:31:03 +0100154* kill zenata, all hail weblate?
155
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100156* when we resize disks (homed?) always round up to 4K sectors, not 512K
157
158* add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
159 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
160
161* hook up the TPM to /etc/crypttab, with a new option that is similar to the
162 new PKCS#11 option in crypttab, and allows unlocking a LUKS volume via a key
163 unsealed from the TPM. Optionally, if TPM is not available fall back to
164 TPM-less mode, and set up linear DM mapping instead (inspired by kpartx), so
165 that the device paths stay the same, regardless if crypto is used or not.
166
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100167* systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200168 that only cover the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100169 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
170 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
171
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200172* systemd-repart: optionally, allow specifying a path to initialize new
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100173 partitions from, i.e. an fs image file or a source device node. This would
174 then turn systemd-repart into a simple installer: with a few .repart files
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100175 you could replicate the host system on another device. a full installer would
176 then be: "systemd-repart /dev/sda && bootctl install /dev/sda &&
177 systemd-firstboot --image= …"
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100178
179* systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
180 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
181 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
182 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
183 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
184 automatically.
185
186* systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
187 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
188
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100189* systemd-repart: allow running mkfs before making partitions pop up +
190 encryption via LUKS to allow booting into an empty root with only /usr mounted in
191
192* systemd-repart: allow managing the gpt read-only partition flag + auto-mount flag
193
194* systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
195 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
196
197* systemd-repart: add specifier expansion, add especifier that refers to root
198 device node of current system, /usr device node, and matching verity, so that
199 an installer can be made a "copy" installer of the booted OS
200
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2a4be3c2020-01-30 13:46:19 +0100201* systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100202 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
203
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100204* systemd-repart: allow config of partition uuid
205
Lennart Poettering77b19ca2020-04-02 16:00:06 +0200206* userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API, allow realname and
207 realname substr searches in varlink API
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100208
Lennart Poettering76410e92020-04-28 20:02:39 +0200209* userdb: allow uid/gid range checks
210
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2a4be3c2020-01-30 13:46:19 +0100211* userdb: allow existence checks
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100212
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200213* pid1: activation by journal search expression
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100214
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100215* when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
216 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
217 initrd had set.
218
Lennart Poettering173c7872019-11-29 11:51:04 +0100219* sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
220 it fo reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
221 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
222 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
223 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
224 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
225
226* tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
227 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
228 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
229
Lennart Poettering173c7872019-11-29 11:51:04 +0100230* maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
231 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
232 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
233 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
234 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
235 source.
236
Lennart Poettering173c7872019-11-29 11:51:04 +0100237* figure out automatic partition discovery when combining writable root dir
238 with immutable /usr
239
Lennart Poettering97e5cc82019-08-20 16:21:01 +0200240* coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
241 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
242 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
243
Lennart Poetteringf3e361c2019-11-13 12:55:59 +0100244* teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
245
Lennart Poettering9ef33762019-08-13 14:40:30 +0200246* beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
247 the hibernation
248
Lennart Poetteringc846b232019-07-29 12:49:13 +0200249* beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
250 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
251 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
252 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
253 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
254 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
255 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
256 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
257 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
258 hibernation mode. (see
259 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
260 section 10.2.2.8 and
261 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
262 at the end).
263
Lennart Poetteringf293fc52019-07-25 19:25:50 +0200264* add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
265 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
266 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
267 output for them.
268
Lennart Poetteringf293fc52019-07-25 19:25:50 +0200269* systemd-firstboot: teach it dissector magic, so that you can point it to some
270 disk image and it will just set everything in it all behind the scenes.
271
Lennart Poettering9c230b82019-07-23 20:21:07 +0200272* We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
273 that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
274 constant vendor data.
275
Lennart Poetteringc6526b82020-05-14 10:13:40 +0200276* maybe add kernel cmdline params: to force random seed crediting
Lennart Poettering312dc152019-07-22 10:22:56 +0200277
278* nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
279 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
280
281* nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
282 fallback in "machinectl shell"
Lennart Poettering72bd8522019-06-22 20:12:44 +0200283
Lennart Poetteringac5dca62019-06-23 16:13:26 +0200284* logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
285 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
286 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
287
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200288* homed:
289 - when user tries to log into record signed by unrecognized key, automatically add key to our chain after polkit auth
290 - hook up machined/nspawn users with a varlink user query interface
291 - rollback when resize fails mid-operation
292 - GNOME's side for forget key on suspend (requires rework so that lock screen runs outside of uid)
293 - resize on login?
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200294 - shrink fs on logout?
295 - update LUKS password on login if we find there's a password that unlocks the JSON record but not the LUKS device.
296 - create on activate?
297 - properties: icon url?, preferred session type?, administrator bool (which translates to 'wheel' membership)?, address?, telephone?, vcard?, samba stuff?, parental controls?
298 - communicate clearly when usb stick is safe to remove. probably involves
299 beefing up logind to make pam session close hook synchronous and wait until
300 systemd --user is shut down.
301 - logind: maybe keep a "busy fd" as long as there's a non-released session around or the user@.service
302 - maybe make automatic, read-only, time-based reflink-copies of LUKS disk images (think: time machine)
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200303 - distinguish destroy / remove (i.e. currently we can unregister a user, unregister+remove their home directory, but not just remove their home directory)
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200304 - in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
305 - fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
306 - make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
307 - description field for groups
308 - make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
309 - reuse pwquality magic in firstboot
310 - query password from kernel keyring first
311 - update even if record is "absent"
312 - add a "access mode" + "fstype" field to the "status" section of json identity records reflecting the actually used access mode and fstype, even on non-luks backends
313 - move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
314 - when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
315 - make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
316 - logind: populate auto-login list bus property from PKCS#11 token
317 - when determining state of a LUKS home directory, check DM suspended sysfs file
318
Lennart Poetteringac5dca62019-06-23 16:13:26 +0200319* introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
320 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
321 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
322 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
323 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
324 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
325 exec().
326
327* let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
328
Lennart Poettering5daeeec2019-04-12 14:13:17 +0200329* when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
330 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
331
Lennart Poettering5802d972019-04-28 13:00:36 +0200332* introduce a new group to own TPM devices
333
334* make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
335 gnome-bluetooth and friends
336
Lennart Poetteringd84520e2019-03-28 12:00:28 +0100337* tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
338 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
339 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
340 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
341 cgroup.
342
Lennart Poettering03ccc7f2018-12-10 16:09:30 +0100343* make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
344 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
345 root.
346
347* maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
348 is issued.
349
Lennart Poetteringdb3cea22018-11-29 17:19:41 +0100350* when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
351
352* when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
353
Lennart Poettering707b3fb2018-11-26 16:18:41 +0100354* Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
355 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
356 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
Lennart Poetteringd7b659e2018-11-26 13:41:07 +0100357
Michael Prokopd2387092019-06-27 09:54:20 +0200358* rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
Lennart Poetteringd96c0812018-11-07 17:41:55 +0100359 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
360 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
361
Lennart Poettering06bd1492018-11-13 23:05:36 +0100362* add a concept for automatically loading per-unit secrets off disk and
363 inserting them into the kernel keyring. Maybe SecretsDirectory= similar to
364 ConfigurationDirectory=.
365
Lennart Poettering8a7cf152018-11-12 13:19:07 +0100366* when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
367
Lennart Poetteringd3584ec2018-10-17 11:38:57 +0200368* bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
369
Lennart Poetteringd96c0812018-11-07 17:41:55 +0100370* add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
371 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
372
Lennart Poettering06898122018-08-07 11:01:46 +0200373* paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek309c6b12019-07-10 13:54:50 +0200374 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek9ae4ef42019-07-10 13:48:55 +0200375 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
Lennart Poettering06898122018-08-07 11:01:46 +0200376
Lennart Poettering32875612018-09-27 17:11:01 +0200377* Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
378
379* support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
380 patching around
381
Lennart Poettering76853292018-10-08 15:46:04 +0200382* maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
383 log.c and sd-journal-send
384
Lennart Poettering06898122018-08-07 11:01:46 +0200385* optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
386
Lennart Poetteringd3aeddb2018-10-01 15:47:50 +0200387* introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
388
Lennart Poettering42e18082018-06-22 17:16:18 +0200389* sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
390 can add in file system drivers and such
391
Lennart Poettering42e18082018-06-22 17:16:18 +0200392* sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
393 non-zero "tries done" count
394
Lennart Poettering8f2eb732018-07-02 18:22:07 +0200395* introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
396 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
397 it should skip the variant type string though.
398
399* augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
400 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
401 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
402 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
403 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
404 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
405 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
406 CODE_FILE.
407
Lennart Poettering8f2eb732018-07-02 18:22:07 +0200408* Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
409 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
410 some explanatory text online.
411
Lennart Poettering7bd4bcf2018-07-16 12:19:05 +0200412* maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
413
Lennart Poetteringa33ffd12018-07-20 16:38:53 +0200414* Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
415 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
416 the slices, and the units attached to them.
417
Lennart Poettering20d4b102018-08-10 16:20:42 +0200418* the a-posteriori stopping of units bound to units that disappeared logic
419 should be reworked: there should be a queue of units, and we should only
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekbc130b62020-02-04 18:39:04 +0100420 enqueue stop jobs from a defer event that processes queue instead of
Lennart Poettering20d4b102018-08-10 16:20:42 +0200421 right-away when we find a unit that is bound to one that doesn't exist
422 anymore. (similar to how the stop-unneeded queue has been reworked the same
423 way)
Lennart Poettering4e8113b2018-06-20 19:36:06 +0200424
Lennart Poettering126708f2018-07-26 16:55:27 +0200425* nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
426 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
427 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
428
Lennart Poetteringbb527e12018-06-04 21:00:44 +0200429* When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
430 original defaults before calling parse_config()
431
Lennart Poettering72d711e2018-05-07 17:50:31 +0200432* nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
Lennart Poetteringc7db2a92018-04-30 21:20:31 +0200433
Lennart Poetteringc633b0a2018-09-12 21:39:14 +0200434* hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
435 Specifically:
436
437 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
438 properly)
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke83419d2018-09-26 07:31:10 +0200439 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek46c41472019-11-30 15:33:59 +0100440 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
Lennart Poetteringc633b0a2018-09-12 21:39:14 +0200441
Lennart Poettering070d0ac2018-04-20 18:09:53 +0200442* cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
443 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
444
Lennart Poetteringe44924f2018-04-20 15:22:02 +0200445* beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
446 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
447 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
448 files and suchlike we operate on.
Lennart Poettering070d0ac2018-04-20 18:09:53 +0200449
Lennart Poettering8c4c2df2018-04-16 12:37:25 +0200450* add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
451
452* add attach --enable and attach --now (for attach+enable+start)
453
454* sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
455 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
456
Lennart Poettering5da19042018-04-18 12:42:22 +0200457* Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400458 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
Lennart Poettering5da19042018-04-18 12:42:22 +0200459 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
460 numbers.
461
Lennart Poettering16270692018-06-06 11:44:58 +0200462* Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
463 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
464 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
465 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
466 unlinked from any dir.
467
Lennart Poetteringbd1b3f72018-09-24 19:01:08 +0200468* port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
Lennart Poettering5da19042018-04-18 12:42:22 +0200469
Lennart Poettering7bc756f2018-04-06 18:57:48 +0200470* pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
471
472* add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
473
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200474* introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
475 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
476 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
477 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
478 should reflink the image file itself.
479
480 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
481 specific paths only like this.
482
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200483* add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400484 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200485 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
486 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
487 images, for example fallback to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
488
Lennart Poetteringd9b50612018-03-20 20:26:15 +0100489* show invocation ID in systemd-run output
490
491* bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
492
Lennart Poettering9711b1a2018-02-28 20:21:57 +0100493* add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
494 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
495
Lennart Poettering1e784322018-02-07 23:03:13 +0100496* teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
497 project quota
Lennart Poettering0d545652018-01-31 19:53:16 +0100498
Lennart Poettering6b7b0f32018-02-14 14:28:00 +0100499* introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
500 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
501 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
502 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
503 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
504 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
505 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:
506 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2018-February/040369.html
507
Lennart Poetteringaa79f932018-01-25 14:14:35 +0100508* maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
509 for root, but only then.
510
Lennart Poettering46099c92017-12-30 15:21:12 +0100511* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
512
Lennart Poettering46099c92017-12-30 15:21:12 +0100513* calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
514 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
515
Lennart Poetteringc3cd7cc2017-12-20 19:48:23 +0100516* sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
517 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
518
Lennart Poettering06345852017-11-27 12:42:35 +0100519* make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
520 host-side interface pointing to the container.
521
Lennart Poettering48f1b5e2017-11-24 18:29:29 +0100522* add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
523 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
524 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
525 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
526 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
527
Lennart Poetteringcb77e122018-03-02 16:25:27 +0100528* taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
Lennart Poetteringc6009ff2017-11-22 13:56:10 +0100529
Lennart Poettering899feb72018-11-16 14:30:29 +0100530* deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
Lennart Poetteringc6009ff2017-11-22 13:56:10 +0100531
Lennart Poettering3d80d452017-11-15 11:25:38 +0100532* add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
533 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
534 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
535
Lennart Poettering5f7ecd62018-10-11 10:27:59 +0200536* support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
Lennart Poettering5962e9d2017-11-17 18:03:00 +0100537
Lennart Poettering17b6f892017-10-24 12:18:17 +0200538* add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
539 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
540
Lennart Poettering17b6f892017-10-24 12:18:17 +0200541* blog about fd store and restartable services
542
543* document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
544
Lennart Poettering370f9c22017-10-27 19:01:21 +0200545* rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
546 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
547
Lennart Poettering17b6f892017-10-24 12:18:17 +0200548* in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
549 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
550 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
551 ID is available.
552
553* optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
554 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
555 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
556
Lennart Poetteringe7e4a252017-11-08 18:36:59 +0100557* beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
558 parameters
559
Lennart Poettering6fc373e2017-10-09 15:22:22 +0200560* maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
561 the quota of a the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
Lennart Poettering5962e9d2017-11-17 18:03:00 +0100562 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
563 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
564 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
565 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
566 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
Lennart Poettering6fc373e2017-10-09 15:22:22 +0200567
Lennart Poettering9a92a972017-11-16 15:21:06 +0100568* In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
569 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
570
Lennart Poettering2368e972017-11-13 17:21:27 +0100571* add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
572 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
573 wait to retrieve their exit data.
574
Lennart Poetteringfa991fb2017-09-28 11:26:11 +0200575* expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
576 about it in the resource log message
577
Lennart Poetteringfa991fb2017-09-28 11:26:11 +0200578* show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
579 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
580
Lennart Poetteringd73b6072017-07-10 18:25:58 +0200581* Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
582 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
583 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
584
Lennart Poetteringfd63f362017-04-24 18:48:10 +0200585* add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
586 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
587
588 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
589
Lennart Poettering3576ddd2017-02-06 13:49:40 +0100590* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
591 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
592 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
593 logging.
594
Lennart Poetteringfe6a0232017-02-28 15:24:10 +0100595* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
596 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
597 "convertible" form factor
598
Lennart Poetteringd543b9f2017-02-06 18:37:28 +0100599* Maybe add PrivatePIDs= as new unit setting, and do minimal PID namespacing
600 after all. Be strict however, only support the equivalent of nspawn's
601 --as-pid2 switch, and sanely proxy sd_notify() messages dropping stuff such
602 as MAINPID.
603
Lennart Poetteringf59d1da2016-11-24 01:51:36 +0100604* Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
605 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
606 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
607
Lennart Poettering33bac672017-02-06 20:26:33 +0100608* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
609 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
610
611* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
612 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
613 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
614 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
615 natural habitat.
616
Lennart Poettering8eb73832016-12-06 19:26:48 +0100617* gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
618 partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
619 /usr is mounted into.
620
Lennart Poettering8eb73832016-12-06 19:26:48 +0100621* gpt-auto logic: support encrypted swap, add kernel cmdline option to force it, and honour a gpt bit about it, plus maybe a configuration file
622
Lennart Poettering67234d22016-10-25 12:43:53 +0200623* drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
624
Lennart Poetteringb5bdbcd2016-10-20 19:19:34 +0200625* add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
626 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
627 relative to the configured default value.
628
Lennart Poetteringd21494e2016-10-06 11:54:03 +0200629* in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
630
631* enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
632
Lennart Poettering04397462016-08-24 20:53:56 +0200633* Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
Lennart Poetteringd82047b2016-07-14 12:26:07 +0200634
Lennart Poetteringd82047b2016-07-14 12:26:07 +0200635* nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
636
Lennart Poetteringd82047b2016-07-14 12:26:07 +0200637* define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
638
Lennart Poettering42d61de2016-05-12 20:14:46 +0200639* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
640
Lennart Poettering04397462016-08-24 20:53:56 +0200641* ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
642
Lennart Poettering42d61de2016-05-12 20:14:46 +0200643* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
644
Lennart Poettering42d61de2016-05-12 20:14:46 +0200645* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
646
Lennart Poettering8ce9b832016-08-03 18:40:48 +0200647* RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
648
Lennart Poetteringa46eac12016-10-07 20:32:23 +0200649* ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
650 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
651 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
652
Lennart Poetteringe40a3262016-05-06 16:55:44 +0200653* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
Lennart Poettering89f193f2016-05-04 19:01:46 +0200654
Lennart Poettering6809de52016-04-26 15:47:03 +0200655* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
656
Lennart Poettering2c5f2952016-08-15 14:48:14 +0200657* mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
658 partitions
659
Lennart Poettering8ce9b832016-08-03 18:40:48 +0200660* in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
661 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
662 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
663 mapping to work.
664
Lennart Poettering2c5f2952016-08-15 14:48:14 +0200665* add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
666
667* add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
668
669* add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
670
Lennart Poetteringb8c7afd2016-04-20 15:27:27 +0200671* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
672 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
673
Lennart Poettering1e555cb2016-02-24 17:20:12 +0100674* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
675 reload the unit file anyway
Lennart Poetteringc8048352016-02-18 22:54:57 +0100676
Lennart Poettering1e555cb2016-02-24 17:20:12 +0100677* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
678 from the SIGBUS handler
679
Lennart Poetteringc8048352016-02-18 22:54:57 +0100680* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
681
Lennart Poettering648b1222016-02-10 22:54:33 +0100682* delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
683 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
684
Lennart Poettering3d39e6e2016-01-14 18:08:29 +0100685* cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
686
Lennart Poetteringbd098bc2015-11-11 14:32:26 +0100687* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
688 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
689
Lennart Poetteringf9bf1b82016-04-28 21:02:11 +0200690* add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
Lennart Poetteringde7399e2015-11-10 17:36:10 +0100691 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
Lennart Poetteringf9bf1b82016-04-28 21:02:11 +0200692 specifications.
Lennart Poetteringde7399e2015-11-10 17:36:10 +0100693
Lennart Poettering3efc8c72015-10-19 22:30:11 +0200694* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
695
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek5ebbb452019-12-05 10:31:55 +0100696* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
Lennart Poettering03364e42015-09-17 01:19:06 +0200697
Lennart Poetteringe6a26d82015-08-16 18:25:24 +0200698* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
699
Lennart Poetteringa2088fd2015-06-19 01:12:54 +0200700* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400701 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
Lennart Poetteringa2088fd2015-06-19 01:12:54 +0200702 prefixed with /sys generally special.
703 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
704
Lennart Poettering8aa20382015-04-09 13:11:38 +0200705* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
706
Lennart Poetteringb18d23d2015-04-08 17:24:23 +0200707* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
708
Lennart Poettering60d17b72015-04-07 16:45:09 +0200709* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
710 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
711 state.
712 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
713
Lennart Poettering477e75e2015-01-28 17:48:01 +0100714* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
715 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
716 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
717 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
718 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
719
Lennart Poettering2bc39682015-01-27 14:31:29 +0100720* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
721 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
722
Lennart Poetteringc3a0d002014-12-19 02:07:35 +0100723* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
724
Lennart Poetteringd2f81fb2014-12-15 18:48:20 +0100725* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
726 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
Lennart Poettering98cd2652014-12-12 17:30:02 +0100727
Lennart Poettering2a441c82014-12-05 14:09:33 +0100728* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
729 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
730 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
731 do, for example)
732
Lennart Poettering0a86c1a2014-12-04 04:17:09 +0100733* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
734 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
735
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke031c222016-09-12 20:20:33 +0100736* as soon as we have sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
Lennart Poettering0a86c1a2014-12-04 04:17:09 +0100737 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
738
Lennart Poettering8514b672014-11-26 14:14:17 +0100739* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
740
Lennart Poettering7b0fce62014-11-18 23:35:46 +0100741* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
742 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
743 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
744 returning from the "systemctl stop".
745
Lennart Poetteringb568ef12014-11-26 12:11:39 +0100746* firstboot: make it useful to be run immediately after yum --installroot to set up a machine. (most specifically, make --copy-root-password work even if /etc/passwd already exists
Lennart Poetteringc2d5b3c2014-11-12 23:44:14 +0100747
Lennart Poetteringd48b7bd2014-11-07 16:31:42 +0100748* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
749
Lennart Poettering8483d732014-10-22 20:24:16 +0200750* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
751 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
752
Kay Sievers25e773e2014-11-13 13:11:04 +0100753* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
Lennart Poetteringb857e042014-10-22 12:40:49 +0200754
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +0100755* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
Lennart Poettering533bb262014-09-03 18:59:17 +0200756
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400757* systemctl edit: use equivalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekb42de082014-12-16 00:22:58 -0500758 Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
Lennart Poettering202aea42014-08-28 20:23:52 +0200759
Lennart Poettering720652b2016-01-26 13:37:42 +0100760* exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
Lennart Poettering42aeb142014-08-26 03:59:05 +0200761
Lennart Poettering720652b2016-01-26 13:37:42 +0100762* timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100763
Lennart Poettering563b1bd2014-08-15 18:01:30 +0200764* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
765
Tom Gundersen6bd79412015-03-24 23:05:43 +0100766* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
767 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
768
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200769* resolved:
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200770 - mDNS/DNS-SD
Lennart Poetteringccc3e8a2015-11-23 23:12:27 +0100771 - service registration
772 - service/domain/types browsing
Lennart Poettering0f47ed02014-07-31 17:47:09 +0200773 - avahi compat
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200774 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100775 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
776 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
777 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
Lennart Poettering720652b2016-01-26 13:37:42 +0100778 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
Lennart Poettering3efb8712016-06-24 11:45:06 +0200779 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
Kay Sievers3f77a1b2014-07-30 17:28:04 +0200780
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100781* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
Lennart Poetteringe2a69292014-07-09 19:20:48 +0200782
Lennart Poettering2834ffe2014-07-01 13:51:26 +0200783* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
784
Lennart Poetteringa9407782014-07-07 11:48:06 +0200785* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
786
Lennart Poetteringa01647e2014-06-16 12:29:51 +0200787* support empty /etc boots nicely:
Lennart Poettering3c779fa2014-06-18 00:01:07 +0200788 - nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
Lennart Poetteringa01647e2014-06-16 12:29:51 +0200789
Lennart Poettering3de03732014-05-22 16:14:50 +0900790* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
791
Lennart Poettering37efac52014-05-05 21:18:54 +0200792* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
793
Lennart Poettering7348b3a2014-05-02 17:56:01 +0200794* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
795
Kay Sievers81429132014-06-18 03:46:44 +0200796* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
797 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
Lennart Poetteringe107ed12014-04-23 22:41:44 +0200798
Lennart Poetteringedb29352014-03-14 21:10:55 +0100799* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
800
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100801* gpt-auto-generator:
Lennart Poettering2a781fc2014-03-08 04:05:48 +0100802 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100803 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100804
Lennart Poettering65026402014-02-24 17:34:37 +0100805* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
806 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
807 when it is otherwise off
Lennart Poetteringf8901862014-02-24 13:21:55 +0100808
Lennart Poetteringf9bf1b82016-04-28 21:02:11 +0200809* MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
Lennart Poetteringeda8f062014-02-23 03:18:46 +0100810
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +0100811* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
812 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
813 for ReusePort=
814
Lennart Poettering09ecd742014-01-12 20:10:33 +0800815* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
816 $UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
817 should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
818 it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
819 desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
820 on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
821
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100822* cgroups:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100823 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100824 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
825 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
826 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
827 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
828 the hierarchies of child processes
829
830* transient units:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100831 - add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100832
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100833* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
834
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100835* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
836
Lennart Poettering966204e2013-11-11 03:03:17 +0100837* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
838
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +0200839* 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
840
Lennart Poettering7f79cd72013-10-04 17:01:32 +0200841* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
Lennart Poettering0aafd432013-09-17 10:01:08 -0500842
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +0200843* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
844 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
Lennart Poetteringdf5f6972013-09-13 14:28:17 +0200845 path anyway.
846
Lennart Poettering04397462016-08-24 20:53:56 +0200847* refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
Lennart Poetteringfcba5312013-09-12 18:09:00 +0200848
Lennart Poetteringbdeeb6b2013-07-10 02:01:14 +0200849* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
850
851* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units

Tom Gundersen6bb648a2014-01-13 17:30:51 +0100853* sd-bus:
Lennart Poettering0d43ffe2015-08-20 12:20:14 +0200854 - EBADSLT handling
Lennart Poetteringfa607802015-01-09 21:32:29 +0100855 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
Lennart Poettering7212c602014-11-26 15:01:50 +0100856 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +0100857 - see if we can introduce a new sd_bus_get_owner_machine_id() call to retrieve the machine ID of the machine of the bus itself
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100858 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100859 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
Lennart Poetteringab9716c2014-01-22 20:29:57 +0100860 - longer term: priority inheritance
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100861 - dbus spec updates:
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100862 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
863 - GVariant
Lennart Poettering2ecfc642014-03-10 23:17:42 +0100864 - path escaping
Lennart Poettering6a8b5fa2014-01-17 19:59:50 +0100865 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100866
867* sd-event
Lennart Poettering12179982013-12-13 04:03:30 +0100868 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek0536ce52014-10-05 15:29:20 -0400869 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100870 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200871
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400872* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -0300873
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +0200874* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
875 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
876
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +0200877* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
878
879* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
880
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -0400881* test/:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek20d52ab2018-03-13 12:25:06 +0100882 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200883
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100884* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200885 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100886 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
887 destination.
888
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +0100889* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
890 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
891
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100892* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
893
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek6daebf92020-04-20 12:41:49 +0200894* Add ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= handle non-absoute paths as a search path or add
895 ConditionConfigSearchPathNotEmpty= or different syntax? See the discussion starting at
896 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15109#issuecomment-607740136.
897
Lennart Poetteringc1446922014-03-21 03:27:17 +0100898* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
899 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
900 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
901 is installed.
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100902
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100903* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
904 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
905 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
906 that automatically.
907
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200908* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100909
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekccddd102016-04-21 22:57:06 -0400910* remove any syslog support from log.c — we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
Lennart Poettering826872b2013-02-27 15:00:38 +0100911
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100912* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
913
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100914* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100915
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100916* EFI:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100917 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
918 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200919 - change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek631427d2019-03-20 11:28:35 +0100920* bootctl
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek631427d2019-03-20 11:28:35 +0100921 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100922
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100923* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100924
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100925* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
926
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +0100927* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
928
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100929* logind:
930 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100931 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
932 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
933 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100934 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
935 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
936 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
937 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
938 needs setuid().
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +0100939 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
940 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
941 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
942 complete.
943 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
944 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
945 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +0100946 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100947 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
948 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
949 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
950 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
951 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
952 relogins
Lennart Poettering77b19ca2020-04-02 16:00:06 +0200953 - (optionally?) spawn seat-manager@$SEAT.service whenever a seat shows up that as CanGraphical set
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +0100954
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100955* journal:
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +0100956 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100957 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
958 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
959 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200960 - fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100961 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100962 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
963 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
964 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400965 message that works, but already after a short timeout
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100966 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
967 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +0100968 - journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100969 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
970 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek038cf332015-01-12 19:15:02 -0500971 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
972 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100973 - 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.
974 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
975 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100976 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
977 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
978 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
979 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100980 - journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
Josh Triplett601d9d62013-04-19 14:13:42 -0700981 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100982 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100983 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
984 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
985 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
986 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
987 to syslog when it works again.
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +0100988 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
989 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
990 journals in.
991 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
992 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
993 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
994 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
995 the most common operations.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100996 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100997 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
998 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
999 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
1000 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
1001 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
1002 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
1003 operation.
1004 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
1005 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
1006 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
1007 binary logs data
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001008 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001009 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
1010 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
1011 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
1012 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +01001013
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek590171d2017-12-14 14:12:39 +01001014* add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
1015 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
1016 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
1017 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)
1018
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001019* document:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -05001020 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001021 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
1022 - man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001023 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001024 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
1025 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001026 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
1027 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001028 - man: add more examples to man pages
1029 - man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek17ec5312018-12-20 16:09:48 +01001030 - document root=gpt-auto properly
Lennart Poetteringe4181482012-11-20 21:33:49 +01001031
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001032* systemctl:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001033 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
1034 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
1035 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
1036 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
1037 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
1038 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
1039 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +02001040 - systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001041 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
Torstein Husebø61233822016-07-10 14:48:23 +02001042 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001043
1044* unit install:
1045 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
1046 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +01001047
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001048* timer units:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001049 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001050 o DST changes
Lennart Poettering90e071d2013-11-05 00:48:47 +01001051 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +01001052
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +02001053* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
1054
Lennart Poetteringa7a3f282012-10-15 16:28:04 +02001055* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
1056
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001057* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
Lennart Poettering08f95882012-10-03 11:37:06 -04001058
Lennart Poetteringf59d1da2016-11-24 01:51:36 +01001059* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +02001060
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -04001061* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
1062
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +02001063* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
Lennart Poettering1b898842012-09-27 17:18:13 +02001064
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001065* nspawn:
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001066 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
1067 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
1068 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
1069 from the kernel's logs.
1070 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
1071 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
1072 interface be missing
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001073 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
1074 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
1075 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container

1109
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +02001110* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.

Lennart Poettering7f110ff2012-03-12 22:22:16 +01001122* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
1123
Lennart Poetteringd0e5a332012-02-20 19:56:14 +01001124* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/

Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek73a99162016-09-27 12:40:54 +02001128 - when truncating coredumps, also log the full size that the process had, and make a metadata field so we can report truncated coredumps
Lennart Poettering87a8baa2012-01-17 13:30:58 +01001129
1130* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)

Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001136 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek614cc342015-01-18 18:28:17 -05001137 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001138 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
1139 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
1140 calls follow symlinks.
Lennart Poettering12580972011-07-11 21:10:48 +02001141
Lennart Poetteringa4c279f2011-07-08 21:39:10 +02001142* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
1143
Lennart Poetteringf28f1da2011-05-20 01:57:20 +02001144* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1145 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1146 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1147
Lennart Poettering88a07672011-05-12 16:14:44 +02001148* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on

Lennart Poettering73090dc2011-04-19 06:06:41 +02001171
Lennart Poettering21bdae12011-07-02 01:44:49 +02001172* investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
1173
Lennart Poettering59fee422010-09-28 21:49:26 +02001174* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
1175
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001176* pid1:
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001177 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
1178 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
1179 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
1180 that are not supported...
1181 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
1182 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
1183 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
1184 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001185 - move PAM code into its own binary
1186 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001187 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1188 - Support --test based on current system state
1189 - 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().
1190 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001191 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
1192 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
1193 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
1194 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
1195 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
1196 but much rather a disconnect on success.
1197 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
1198 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1199
1200* unit files:
1201 - allow port=0 in .socket units
1202 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
1203 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
1204 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
1205 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
1206 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
1207 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
1208 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001209 - introduce Type=pid-file
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001210 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
1211 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001212 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke5171292019-12-13 19:25:50 +01001213 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001214
Tom Gundersenaf6f0d42013-10-26 00:34:01 +02001215* udev-link-config:
1216 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1217 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1218 on Path= matching
Tom Gundersenaf6f0d42013-10-26 00:34:01 +02001219
Tom Gundersen88e4d1d2013-11-27 23:15:04 +01001220* sd-rtnl:
Tom Gundersen88e4d1d2013-11-27 23:15:04 +01001221 - add support for more attribute types
Tom Gundersenc589a0e2014-03-31 11:30:59 +02001222 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
Tom Gundersen88e4d1d2013-11-27 23:15:04 +01001223
Tom Gundersen0a4b9a02013-12-04 13:14:23 +01001224* networkd:
Tom Gundersenc74ecd72014-01-11 20:19:10 +00001225 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
1226 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
Tom Gundersene8d842a2014-02-21 21:41:48 +01001227 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
Umut Tezduyar Lindskog798e1742014-04-27 23:45:42 +02001228 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
Jan Engelhardta8eaaee2014-08-03 07:11:37 +02001229 - work with non-Ethernet devices
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001230 - dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001231 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1232 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1233 - expose in the API the following bits:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke2da6492020-05-19 08:55:46 +02001234 - option 15, domain name
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek38b38502020-04-14 10:37:40 +02001235 - option 12, hostname and/or option 81, fqdn
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001236 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1237 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1238 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1239 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1240 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1241 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
1242 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001243 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
Tom Gundersen155e8b92014-03-20 20:19:59 +01001244
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd5e172d2020-05-24 22:02:47 +02001245* Figure out how to do unittests of networkd's state serialization

Tom Gundersenac976532014-05-16 00:26:37 +02001249
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001250* dhcp6:
1251 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
1252 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
1253 - write more test cases
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001254 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001255 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001256 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
1257 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1258 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1259 or interface down
1260 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1261 this behavior
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek4a77c532016-10-02 14:51:49 +02001262 - RouteTable= ?
