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.
6
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekceaf24d2020-08-31 13:01:23 +02007* userdbctl: "Password OK: yes" is shown even when there are no passwords
8 or the password is locked.

Lennart Poetteringf85857d2014-10-29 17:08:00 +010011
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +010012* 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 +020013
Lennart Poettering5e524b42015-10-26 22:02:13 +010014Janitorial Clean-ups:
15
Lennart Poettering5e524b42015-10-26 22:02:13 +010016* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
17
Lennart Poetteringbb527e12018-06-04 21:00:44 +020018* rework mount.c and swap.c to follow proper state enumeration/deserialization
19 semantics, like we do for device.c now
20
Lennart Poetteringc6407102018-06-07 17:35:58 +020021Features:
22
Lennart Poettering7d7c75f2020-11-16 11:29:15 +010023* cryptsetup: optionally, when run during boot-up and password is never
24 entered, and we are on AC power (or so), power off machine again
25
26* when configuring loopback netif, and it fails due to EPERM, eat up error if
27 it happens to be set up alright already.
28
29* at boot: check if battery above some threshold, if not power off again after explanation
30
31* userdb: add field for ambient caps, so that a user can have CAP_WAKE_ALARM
32 for example. And add code that resets ambient caps for all services by
33 default.
34
Lennart Poetteringd72ff2d2020-11-04 15:46:51 +010035* homed: try to unmount in regular intervals when home dir was busy when we
36 tried because idle.
37
Lennart Poetteringff640bd2020-11-02 15:30:16 +010038* sd-bus: when connecting to some dbus server socker, set originating AF_UNIX
39 socket name in abstract namespace to include "description" string, and pick
40 it up from there in sd_bus_creds logic. i.e. we can use the socket peer
41 address as conduit for some minimal connection metainfo, and use it to
42 restore the "description" logic that kdbus used to have.
43
Yu Watanabe377a9542020-10-24 12:07:19 +090044* teach LoadCredential= the ability to load all files from a specified dir as
Lennart Poettering3b8a2162020-10-23 15:45:17 +020045 individual creds
46
Lennart Poettering08d33652020-10-20 14:46:55 +020047* systemd-analyze netif that explains predictable interface (or networkctl)
Lennart Poetteringd775d8e2020-10-12 13:11:55 +020048
Lennart Poettering08d33652020-10-20 14:46:55 +020049* port selinux code from mallinfo() to mallinfo2() once added to glibc
Lennart Poetteringd775d8e2020-10-12 13:11:55 +020050
Lennart Poettering816d4602020-10-07 14:11:46 +020051* Add service setting to run a service within the specified VRF. i.e. do the
52 equivalent of "ip vrf exec".
53
Lennart Poettering6d3702f2020-09-28 16:29:20 +020054* export action of device object on sd-device, so that monitor becomes useful
55
Lennart Poettering1817be82020-09-18 22:26:50 +020056* add root=tmpfs that mounts a tmpfs to /sysroot (to be used in combination
57 with usr=…, for a similar effect as systemd.volatile=yes but without the
58 "hide-out" effect). Also, add root=gpt-auto-late support or so, that is like
59 root=gpt-auto but initially mounts a tmpfs to /sysroot, and then revisits
60 later after systemd-repart ran. Usecase: let's ship images with only /usr
61 partition, then on first boot create the root partition. In this case we want
62 to read the repart data from /usr before the root partition exists. Add
63 usr=gpt-auto that automatically finds a /usr partition.
64
Lennart Poetteringe59d0302020-09-23 15:25:25 +020065* change SwitchRoot() implementation in PID 1 to use pivot_root(".", "."), as
66 documented in the pivot_root(2) man page, so that we can drop the /oldroot
67 temporary dir.
68
69* special case some calls of chase_symlinks() to use openat2() internally, so
70 that the kernel does what we otherwise do.
71
Lennart Poettering1817be82020-09-18 22:26:50 +020072* homed: keep an fd to the homedir open at all times, to keep the fs pinned
Yu Watanabe377a9542020-10-24 12:07:19 +090073 (autofs and such) while user is logged in.
Lennart Poettering1817be82020-09-18 22:26:50 +020074
75* nss-systemd: also synthesize shadow records for users/groups
Lennart Poettering38821a02020-07-23 16:58:56 +020076
Lennart Poetteringfc733be2020-08-06 14:08:25 +020077* make use of new glibc 2.32 APIs sigabbrev_np() and strerrorname_np().
78
Lennart Poettering628db212020-07-21 17:46:14 +020079* cryptsetup: if keyfile specified in crypttab is AF_UNIX socket, connect to it
80 and read from it (like we do elsewhere with READ_FULL_FILE_CONNECT_SOCKET)
81
Lennart Poetteringfdc6c4f2020-08-07 00:02:17 +020082* when main nspawn supervisor process gets suspended due to SIGSTOP/SIGTTOU or
83 so, freeze the payload too.
84
Lennart Poettering42165312020-07-15 17:41:34 +020085* repart: support setting up dm-integrity with HMAC
86
87* add /etc/integritytab, to support dm-integrity setups. In particular those
88 with HMAC as hash function, so that we can have a protected /home without
89 encryption (leaving encryption to the individual dirs/homed).
90
Lennart Poettering16a4a2f2020-07-14 15:06:29 +020091* complement root=, rootflags=, rootfstype= with rootsubdir= which allows
92 mounting a subdir of the root fs as actual root. This can be used as
93 fstype-agnostic version of btrfs' rootflags=subvol=foobar.
94
Lennart Poetteringeffefa32020-05-26 14:46:35 +020095* if /usr/bin/swapoff fails due to OOM, log a friendly explanatory message about it
96
Lennart Poettering6ae8c6f2020-05-26 09:21:40 +020097* build short web pages out of each catalog entry, build them along with man
98 pages, and include hyperlinks to them in the journal output
99
Lennart Poetteringd08a6ec2020-05-19 19:58:26 +0200100* machined: add API to acquire UID range. add API to mount/dissect loopback
101 file. Both protected by PK. Then make nspawn use these APIs to run
102 unprivileged containers. i.e. push the truly privileged bits into machined,
103 so that the client side can remain entirely unprivileged, with SUID or
104 anything like that.
105
Lennart Poettering5c0102f2020-06-02 10:39:19 +0200106* journald: do journal file writing out-of-process, with one writer process per
Frantisek Sumsalcb713f162020-06-26 21:30:04 +0200107 client UID, so that synthetic hash table collisions can slow down a specific
Lennart Poettering5c0102f2020-06-02 10:39:19 +0200108 user's journal stream down but not the others.
109
Lennart Poettering34d16ba2020-05-18 18:29:38 +0200110* add "throttling" to sd-event event sources: optionally, when we wake up too
111 often for one, let's turn it off entirely for a while. Use that for the
112 /proc/self/mountinfo logic.
113
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200114* nspawn: support time namespaces
115
Lennart Poettering737ec512020-06-27 11:15:19 +0200116* systemd-firstboot: make sure to always use chase_symlinks() before
117 reading/writing files
118
Lennart Poettering2d2d7502020-05-26 19:05:54 +0200119* add ConditionSecurity=tpm2
120
Lennart Poettering42ba8d22020-05-29 18:32:28 +0200121* Remove any support for booting without /usr pre-mounted in the initrd entirely.
122 Update INITRD_INTERFACE.md accordingly.
123
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200124* pid1: Move to tracking of main pid/control pid of units per pidfd
125
126* pid1: support new clone3() fork-into-cgroup feature
127
Lennart Poettering7cc8fb32020-05-12 20:14:08 +0200128* pid1: also remove PID files of a service when the service starts, not just
129 when it exits
130
Lennart Poetteringcdfd8532020-06-16 14:38:23 +0200131* make us use dynamically fewer deps for containers in general purpose distros:
132 o turn into dlopen() deps:
Lennart Poetteringcdfd8532020-06-16 14:38:23 +0200133 - elfutils (always)
134 - p11-kit-trust (always)
135 - kmod-libs (only when called from PID 1)
Lennart Poetteringa52dc0b2020-08-31 18:22:54 +0200136 - libblkid (only in RootImage= handling in PID 1, but not elsewhere)
Lennart Poetteringcdfd8532020-06-16 14:38:23 +0200137 - libpam (only when called from PID 1)
138 - bzip2, xz, lz4 (always — gzip and zstd should probably stay static deps the way they are,
139 since they are so basic and our defaults)
140 o move into separate libsystemd-shared-iptables.so .so
141 - iptables-libs (only used by nspawn + networkd)
142
Lennart Poettering77169ed2020-06-16 11:42:16 +0200143* seccomp: when SystemCallArchitectures=native is set then don't install any
144 other seccomp filters for any of the other archs, in order to reduce the
145 number of seccomp filters we install needlessly.
146
147* seccomp: maybe use seccomp_merge() to merge our filters per-arch if we can.
148 Apparently kernel performance is much better with fewer larger seccomp
149 filters than with more smaller seccomp filters.
150
Lennart Poetteringbfafec22020-05-28 09:38:00 +0200151* systemd-path: add ESP and XBOOTLDR path. Add "private" runtime/state/cache dir enum,
152 mapping to $RUNTIME_DIRECTORY, $STATE_DIRECTORY and such
153
Lennart Poetteringa6e10182020-05-07 23:30:06 +0200154* All tools that support --root= should also learn --image= so that they can
Lennart Poettering612d3a62020-07-28 18:31:48 +0200155 operate on disk images directly. Specifically: bootctl, systemctl,
156 coredumpctl. (Already done: systemd-nspawn, systemd-firstboot,
157 systemd-repart, systemd-tmpfiles, systemd-sysusers, journalctl)
Lennart Poetteringa6e10182020-05-07 23:30:06 +0200158
Lennart Poettering112bed82020-06-02 14:56:08 +0200159* seccomp: by default mask x32 ABI system wide on x86-64. it's on its way out
160
161* seccomp: don't install filters for ABIs that are masked anyway for the
162 specific service
163
164* seccomp: maybe merge all filters we install into one with that libseccomp API that allows merging.
165
Lennart Poetteringfabece92020-07-23 08:46:43 +0200166* credentials system:
167 - maybe add AcquireCredential= for querying a cred via ask-password
168 - maybe try to acquire creds via keyring?
169 - maybe try to pass creds via keyring?
170 - maybe optionally pass creds via memfd
171 - maybe add support for decrypting creds via TPM
172 - maybe add support for decrypting/importing creds via pkcs11
173 - make systemd-cryptsetup acquire pw via creds logic
174 - make PAMName= acquire pw via creds logic
175 - make macsec/wireguard code in networkd read key via creds logic
176 - make gatwayd/remote read key via creds logic
177 - add sd_notify() command for flushing out creds not needed anymore
Lennart Poetteringa6e10182020-05-07 23:30:06 +0200178
Lennart Poetteringa6e10182020-05-07 23:30:06 +0200179* homed: during login resize fs automatically towards size goal. Specifically,
180 resize to diskSize if possible, but leave a certain amount (configured by a
181 new value diskLeaveFreeSize) of space free on the backing fs.
182
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200183* homed: permit multiple user record signing keys to be used locally, and pick
184 the right one for signing records automatically depending on a pre-existing
185 signature
Lennart Poettering1f7c6f92020-05-05 19:36:21 +0200186
187* homed: add a way to "adopt" a home directory, i.e. strip foreign signatures
188 and insert a local signature instead.
189
Lennart Poettering15981c22020-05-09 10:37:32 +0200190* homed: as an extension to the directory+subvolume backend: if located on
191 especially marked fs, then sync down password into LUKS header of that fs,
192 and always verify passwords against it too. Bootstrapping is a problem
Frantisek Sumsal15dd4512020-05-24 23:00:13 +0200193 though: if no one is logged in (or no other user even exists yet), how do you
Lennart Poettering15981c22020-05-09 10:37:32 +0200194 unlock the volume in order to create the first user and add the first pw.
195
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200196* homed: support new FS_IOC_ADD_ENCRYPTION_KEY ioctl for setting up fscrypt
197
Lennart Poetteringc5ca6d92020-04-21 21:23:01 +0200198* homed: maybe pre-create ~/.cache as subvol so that it can have separate quota
199 easily?
200
Lennart Poetteringcbe952f2020-07-07 11:33:18 +0200201* busctl: maybe expose a verb "ping" for pinging a dbus service to see if it
202 exists and responds.
203
Lennart Poettering6663cfd2020-04-13 14:31:46 +0200204* when systemd-nspawn and suchlike dissect an OS image, and there are multiple
205 root partitions, do an strverscmp() on the partition label and boot
206 first. That is inspired how sd-boot figures out which kernel to boot, and
207 thus allows defining OS images which can be A/B updated and we default to the
208 newest version automatically, both in nspawn and in sd-boot
209
Lennart Poetteringc8fe23d2020-04-16 11:12:39 +0200210* cryptsetup: support FIDO2 tokens for deriving keys (i.e. do what homed can do
211 also in plain cryptsetup)
Lennart Poettering97cd52c2020-01-29 19:22:26 +0100212
Lennart Poetteringd2002532020-01-29 16:55:59 +0100213* systemd-gpt-auto should probably set x-systemd.growfs on the mounts it
214 creates
215
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100216* bootctl:
217 - teach it to prepare an ESP wholesale, i.e. with mkfs.vfat invocation
218 - teach it to copy in unified kernel images and maybe type #1 boot loader spec entries from host
219 - make it operate on loopback files, dissecting enough to find ESP to operate on
220
Lennart Poetteringb47261e2020-06-26 18:04:52 +0200221* Maybe add a separate GPT partition type to the discoverable partition spec
222 for "hibernate" partitions, that are exactly like swap partitions but only
223 activated right before hibernation and thus never used for regular swapping.
224
Lennart Poetteringe1d32d62020-01-23 22:59:47 +0100225* by default, in systemd --user service bump the OOMAdjust to 100, as privs
226 allow so that systemd survives
227
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200228* cryptsetup: allow encoding key directly in /etc/crypttab, maybe with a
229 "base64:" prefix. Useful in particular for pkcs11 mode.
230
Lennart Poettering56a061f2019-12-19 16:43:39 +0100231* cryptsetup: reimplement the mkswap/mke2fs in cryptsetup-generator to use
232 systemd-makefs.service instead.
233
Lennart Poettering91fc0132019-11-12 15:18:37 +0100234* socket units: allow creating a udev monitor socket with ListenDevices= or so,
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200235 with matches, then activate app through that passing socket over
Lennart Poettering91fc0132019-11-12 15:18:37 +0100236
Lennart Poetteringcdfd8532020-06-16 14:38:23 +0200237* unify on openssl (as soon as OpenSSL 3.0 is out, and the Debian license
238 confusion is gone)
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100239 - port sd_id128_get_machine_app_specific() over from khash
240 - port resolved over from libgcrypt (DNSSEC code)
241 - port journald + fsprg over from libgcrypt
242 - port importd over from libgcrypt
243 - when that's done: kill khash.c
244 - when that's done: kill gnutls support in resolved
245
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100246* when we resize disks (homed?) always round up to 4K sectors, not 512K
247
248* add growvol and makevol options for /etc/crypttab, similar to
249 x-systemd.growfs and x-systemd-makefs.
250
251* hook up the TPM to /etc/crypttab, with a new option that is similar to the
252 new PKCS#11 option in crypttab, and allows unlocking a LUKS volume via a key
253 unsealed from the TPM. Optionally, if TPM is not available fall back to
254 TPM-less mode, and set up linear DM mapping instead (inspired by kpartx), so
255 that the device paths stay the same, regardless if crypto is used or not.
256
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100257* systemd-repart: by default generate minimized partition tables (i.e. tables
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200258 that only cover the space actually used, excluding any free space at the
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100259 end), in order to maximize dd'ability. Requires libfdisk work, see
260 https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues/907
261
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100262* systemd-repart: MBR partition table support. Care needs to be taken regarding
263 Type=, so that partition definitions can sanely apply to both the GPT and the
264 MBR case. Idea: accept syntax "Type=gpt:home mbr:0x83" for setting the types
265 for the two partition types explicitly. And provide an internal mapping so
266 that "Type=linux-generic" maps to the right types for both partition tables
267 automatically.
268
269* systemd-repart: allow sizing partitions as factor of available RAM, so that
270 we can reasonably size swap partitions for hibernation.
271
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100272* systemd-repart: allow managing the gpt read-only partition flag + auto-mount flag
273
Lennart Poetteringb47261e2020-06-26 18:04:52 +0200274* systemd-repart: allow boolean option that ensures that if existing partition
275 doesn't exist within the configured size bounds the whole command fails. This
276 is useful to implement ESP vs. XBOOTLDR schemes in installers: have one set
277 of repart files for the case where ESP is large enough and one where it isn't
278 and XBOOTLDR is added in instead. Then apply the former first, and if it
279 fails to apply use the latter.
280
281* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to never reuse existing partition
282 and always create anew even if matching partition already exists.
283
284* systemd-repart: add per-partition option to fail if partition already exist,
285 i.e. is not added new. Similar, add option to fail if partition does not exist yet.
286
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100287* systemd-repart: allow disabling growing of specific partitions, or making
288 them (think ESP: we don't ever want to grow it, since we cannot resize vfat)
289
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2a4be3c2020-01-30 13:46:19 +0100290* systemd-repart: make it a static checker during early boot for existence and
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100291 absence of other partitions for trusted boot environments
292
Lennart Poettering77b19ca2020-04-02 16:00:06 +0200293* userdb: allow username prefix searches in varlink API, allow realname and
294 realname substr searches in varlink API
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100295
Lennart Poettering76410e92020-04-28 20:02:39 +0200296* userdb: allow uid/gid range checks
297
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2a4be3c2020-01-30 13:46:19 +0100298* userdb: allow existence checks
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100299
Lennart Poetteringf1eb0cc2020-05-10 10:19:05 +0200300* pid1: activation by journal search expression
Lennart Poettering006c44c2020-01-28 15:04:49 +0100301
Lennart Poettering492f91d2019-12-10 23:47:06 +0100302* when switching root from initrd to host, set the machine_id env var so that
303 if the host has no machine ID set yet we continue to use the random one the
304 initrd had set.
305
Lennart Poettering173c7872019-11-29 11:51:04 +0100306* sd-event: add native support for P_ALL waitid() watching, then move PID 1 to
307 it fo reaping assigned but unknown children. This needs to some special care
308 to operate somewhat sensibly in light of priorities: P_ALL will return
309 arbitrary processes, regardless of the priority we want to watch them with,
310 hence on each event loop iteration check all processes which we shall watch
311 with higher prio explicitly, and then watch the entire rest with P_ALL.
312
313* tweak sd-event's child watching: keep a prioq of children to watch and use
314 waitid() only on the children with the highest priority until one is waitable
315 and ignore all lower-prio ones from that point on
316
Lennart Poettering173c7872019-11-29 11:51:04 +0100317* maybe introduce xattrs that can be set on the root dir of the root fs
318 partition that declare the volatility mode to use the image in. Previously I
319 thought marking this via GPT partition flags but that's not ideal since
320 that's outside of the LUKS encryption/verity verification, and we probably
321 shouldn't operate in a volatile mode unless we got told so from a trusted
322 source.
323
Lennart Poettering173c7872019-11-29 11:51:04 +0100324* figure out automatic partition discovery when combining writable root dir
325 with immutable /usr
326
Lennart Poettering97e5cc82019-08-20 16:21:01 +0200327* coredump: maybe when coredumping read a new xattr from /proc/$PID/exe that
328 may be used to mark a whole binary as non-coredumpable. Would fix:
329 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69447
330
Lennart Poetteringf3e361c2019-11-13 12:55:59 +0100331* teach parse_timestamp() timezones like the calendar spec already knows it
332
Lennart Poettering9ef33762019-08-13 14:40:30 +0200333* beef up hibernation to optionally do swapon/swapoff immediately before/after
334 the hibernation
335
Lennart Poetteringc846b232019-07-29 12:49:13 +0200336* beef up s2h to implement a battery watch loop: instead of entering
337 hibernation unconditionally after coming back from resume make a decision
338 based on the battery load level: if battery level is above a specific
339 threshold, go to suspend again, only hibernate if below it. This means we'd
340 stick to suspend usually, but fall back to hibernation only when battery runs
341 empty (well, subject to our sampling interval). Related to this, check if we
342 can make ACPI _BTP (i.e. /sys/class/power_supply/*/alarm) work for us too,
343 i.e. see if it can wake up machines from suspend, so that we could resume
344 automatically when the system is low on power and move automatically to
345 hibernation mode. (see
346 https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI%206_2_A_Sept29.pdf
347 section 10.2.2.8 and
348 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/device-experiences/modern-standby-wake-sources
349 at the end).
350
Lennart Poetteringf293fc52019-07-25 19:25:50 +0200351* add an explicit "vertical" mode to format-table, so that "systemctl
352 status"-like outputs (i.e. with a series of field names left and values
353 right) become genuine first class citizens, and we gain automatic, sane JSON
354 output for them.
355
Lennart Poettering9c230b82019-07-23 20:21:07 +0200356* We should probably replace /var/log/README, /etc/rc.d/README with symlinks
357 that are linked to these places instead of copied. After all they are
358 constant vendor data.
359
Lennart Poetteringc6526b82020-05-14 10:13:40 +0200360* maybe add kernel cmdline params: to force random seed crediting
Lennart Poettering312dc152019-07-22 10:22:56 +0200361
362* nspawn: on cgroupsv1 issue cgroup empty handler process based on host events,
363 so that we make cgroup agent logic safe
364
365* nspawn/machined: add API to invoke binary in container, then use that as
366 fallback in "machinectl shell"
Lennart Poettering72bd8522019-06-22 20:12:44 +0200367
Lennart Poetteringac5dca62019-06-23 16:13:26 +0200368* logind: rework pam_logind to also do a bus call in case of invocation from
369 user@.service, which returns the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR value, and make this
370 behaviour selectable via pam module option.
371
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200372* homed:
373 - when user tries to log into record signed by unrecognized key, automatically add key to our chain after polkit auth
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200374 - rollback when resize fails mid-operation
375 - GNOME's side for forget key on suspend (requires rework so that lock screen runs outside of uid)
376 - resize on login?
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200377 - shrink fs on logout?
378 - update LUKS password on login if we find there's a password that unlocks the JSON record but not the LUKS device.
379 - create on activate?
380 - properties: icon url?, preferred session type?, administrator bool (which translates to 'wheel' membership)?, address?, telephone?, vcard?, samba stuff?, parental controls?
381 - communicate clearly when usb stick is safe to remove. probably involves
382 beefing up logind to make pam session close hook synchronous and wait until
383 systemd --user is shut down.
384 - logind: maybe keep a "busy fd" as long as there's a non-released session around or the user@.service
Lennart Poetteringcbe952f2020-07-07 11:33:18 +0200385 - maybe make automatic, read-only, time-based reflink-copies of LUKS disk
386 images (and btrfs snapshots of subvolumes) (think: time machine)
Frantisek Sumsal86b52a32020-04-21 20:46:53 +0200387 - 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 +0200388 - in systemd's PAMName= logic: query passwords with ssh-askpassword, so that we can make "loginctl set-linger" mode work
389 - fingerprint authentication, pattern authentication, …
390 - make sure "classic" user records can also be managed by homed
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200391 - make size of $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR configurable in user record
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200392 - query password from kernel keyring first
393 - update even if record is "absent"
394 - add a "access mode" + "fstype" field to the "status" section of json identity records reflecting the actually used access mode and fstype, even on non-luks backends
395 - move acct mgmt stuff from pam_systemd_home to pam_systemd?
396 - when "homectl --pkcs11-token-uri=" is used, synthesize ssh-authorized-keys records for all keys we have private keys on the stick for
397 - make slice for users configurable (requires logind rework)
398 - logind: populate auto-login list bus property from PKCS#11 token
399 - when determining state of a LUKS home directory, check DM suspended sysfs file
Lennart Poetteringcbe952f2020-07-07 11:33:18 +0200400 - introduce API for "making room", that grows/shrinks home directory
401 according to elastic parameters, discards blocks, and removes additional snapshots. Call it
402 either from UI when disk space gets low
Lennart Poetteringc809ed72019-07-04 18:16:30 +0200403
Lennart Poetteringac5dca62019-06-23 16:13:26 +0200404* introduce a new per-process uuid, similar to the boot id, the machine id, the
405 invocation id, that is derived from process creds, specifically a hashed
406 combination of AT_RANDOM + getpid() + the starttime from
407 /proc/self/status. Then add these ids implicitly when logging. Deriving this
408 uuid from these three things has the benefit that it can be derived easily
409 from /proc/$PID/ in a stable, and unique way that changes on both fork() and
410 exec().
411
412* let's not GC a unit while its ratelimits are still pending
413
Lennart Poettering5daeeec2019-04-12 14:13:17 +0200414* when killing due to service watchdog timeout maybe detect whether target
415 process is under ptracing and then log loudly and continue instead.
416
Lennart Poettering5802d972019-04-28 13:00:36 +0200417* introduce a new group to own TPM devices
418
419* make rfkill uaccess controllable by default, i.e. steal rule from
420 gnome-bluetooth and friends
421
Lennart Poetteringd84520e2019-03-28 12:00:28 +0100422* tweak journald context caching. In addition to caching per-process attributes
423 keyed by PID, cache per-cgroup attributes (i.e. the various xattrs we read)
424 keyed by cgroup path, and guarded by ctime changes. This should provide us
425 with a nice speed-up on services that have many processes running in the same
426 cgroup.
427
Lennart Poettering03ccc7f2018-12-10 16:09:30 +0100428* make MAINPID= message reception checks even stricter: if service uses User=,
429 then check sending UID and ignore message if it doesn't match the user or
430 root.
431
432* maybe trigger a uevent "change" on a device if "systemctl reload xyz.device"
433 is issued.
434
Lennart Poetteringdb3cea22018-11-29 17:19:41 +0100435* when importing an fs tree with machined, optionally apply userns-rec-chown
436
437* when importing an fs tree with machined, complain if image is not an OS
438
Lennart Poettering707b3fb2018-11-26 16:18:41 +0100439* Maybe introduce a helper safe_exec() or so, which is to execve() which
440 safe_fork() is to fork(). And then make revert the RLIMIT_NOFILE soft limit
441 to 1K implicitly, unless explicitly opted-out.
Lennart Poetteringd7b659e2018-11-26 13:41:07 +0100442
Michael Prokopd2387092019-06-27 09:54:20 +0200443* rework seccomp/nnp logic that even if User= is used in combination with
Lennart Poetteringd96c0812018-11-07 17:41:55 +0100444 a seccomp option we don't have to set NNP. For that, change uid first whil
445 keeping CAP_SYS_ADMIN, then apply seccomp, the drop cap.
446
Lennart Poettering06bd1492018-11-13 23:05:36 +0100447* add a concept for automatically loading per-unit secrets off disk and
448 inserting them into the kernel keyring. Maybe SecretsDirectory= similar to
449 ConfigurationDirectory=.
450
Lennart Poettering8a7cf152018-11-12 13:19:07 +0100451* when no locale is configured, default to UEFI's PlatformLang variable
452
Lennart Poetteringd3584ec2018-10-17 11:38:57 +0200453* bootctl,sd-boot: actually honour the "architecture" key
454
Lennart Poetteringd96c0812018-11-07 17:41:55 +0100455* add a new syscall group "@esoteric" for more esoteric stuff such as bpf() and
456 usefaultd() and make systemd-analyze check for it.
457
Lennart Poettering06898122018-08-07 11:01:46 +0200458* paranoia: whenever we process passwords, call mlock() on the memory
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek309c6b12019-07-10 13:54:50 +0200459 first. i.e. look for all places we use free_and_erasep() and
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek9ae4ef42019-07-10 13:48:55 +0200460 augment them with mlock(). Also use MADV_DONTDUMP.
Lennart Poettering06898122018-08-07 11:01:46 +0200461
Lennart Poettering32875612018-09-27 17:11:01 +0200462* Move RestrictAddressFamily= to the new cgroup create socket
463
464* support the bind/connect/sendmsg cgroup stuff for sandboxing, and possibly
465 patching around
466
Lennart Poettering76853292018-10-08 15:46:04 +0200467* maybe implicitly attach monotonic+realtime timestamps to outgoing messages in
468 log.c and sd-journal-send
469
Lennart Poettering06898122018-08-07 11:01:46 +0200470* optionally: turn on cgroup delegation for per-session scope units
471
Lennart Poetteringd3aeddb2018-10-01 15:47:50 +0200472* introduce per-unit (i.e. per-slice, per-service) journal log size limits.
473
Lennart Poettering42e18082018-06-22 17:16:18 +0200474* sd-boot: automatically load EFI modules from some drop-in dir, so that people
475 can add in file system drivers and such
476
Lennart Poettering42e18082018-06-22 17:16:18 +0200477* sd-boot: optionally, show boot menu when previous default boot item has
478 non-zero "tries done" count
479
Lennart Poettering8f2eb732018-07-02 18:22:07 +0200480* introduce an option (or replacement) for "systemctl show" that outputs all
481 properties as JSON, similar to busctl's new JSON output. In contrast to that
482 it should skip the variant type string though.
483
484* augment CODE_FILE=, CODE_LINE= with something like CODE_BASE= or so which
485 contains some identifier for the project, which allows us to include
486 clickable links to source files generating these log messages. The identifier
487 could be some abberviated URL prefix or so (taking inspiration from Go
488 imports). For example, for systemd we could use
489 CODE_BASE=github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/98b0b1123cc or so which is
490 sufficient to build a link by prefixing "http://" and suffixing the
491 CODE_FILE.
492
Lennart Poettering8f2eb732018-07-02 18:22:07 +0200493* Augment MESSAGE_ID with MESSAGE_BASE, in a similar fashion so that we can
494 make clickable links from log messages carrying a MESSAGE_ID, that lead to
495 some explanatory text online.
496
Lennart Poettering7bd4bcf2018-07-16 12:19:05 +0200497* maybe extend .path units to expose fanotify() per-mount change events
498
Lennart Poetteringa33ffd12018-07-20 16:38:53 +0200499* Add a "systemctl list-units --by-slice" mode or so, which rearranges the
500 output of "systemctl list-units" slightly by showing the tree structure of
501 the slices, and the units attached to them.
502
Lennart Poettering20d4b102018-08-10 16:20:42 +0200503* the a-posteriori stopping of units bound to units that disappeared logic
504 should be reworked: there should be a queue of units, and we should only
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekbc130b62020-02-04 18:39:04 +0100505 enqueue stop jobs from a defer event that processes queue instead of
Lennart Poettering20d4b102018-08-10 16:20:42 +0200506 right-away when we find a unit that is bound to one that doesn't exist
507 anymore. (similar to how the stop-unneeded queue has been reworked the same
508 way)
Lennart Poettering4e8113b2018-06-20 19:36:06 +0200509
Lennart Poettering126708f2018-07-26 16:55:27 +0200510* nspawn: make nspawn suitable for shell pipelines: instead of triggering a
511 hangup when input is finished, send ^D, which synthesizes an EOF. Then wait
512 for hangup or ^D before passing on the EOF.
513
Lennart Poetteringbb527e12018-06-04 21:00:44 +0200514* When reloading configuration PID 1 should reset all its properties to the
515 original defaults before calling parse_config()
516
Lennart Poettering72d711e2018-05-07 17:50:31 +0200517* nspawn: greater control over selinux label?
Lennart Poetteringc7db2a92018-04-30 21:20:31 +0200518
Lennart Poetteringc633b0a2018-09-12 21:39:14 +0200519* hibernate/s2h: make this robust and safe to enable in Fedora by default.
520 Specifically:
521
522 1. add resume_offset support to the resume code (i.e. support swap files
523 properly)
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke83419d2018-09-26 07:31:10 +0200524 2. check if swap is on weird storage and refuse if so
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek46c41472019-11-30 15:33:59 +0100525 3. add auto-detection of hibernation images
Lennart Poetteringc633b0a2018-09-12 21:39:14 +0200526
Lennart Poettering070d0ac2018-04-20 18:09:53 +0200527* cgroups: use inotify to get notified when somebody else modifies cgroups
528 owned by us, then log a friendly warning.
529
Lennart Poetteringe44924f2018-04-20 15:22:02 +0200530* beef up log.c with support for stripping ANSI sequences from strings, so that
531 it is OK to include them in log strings. This would be particularly useful so
532 that our log messages could contain clickable links for example for unit
533 files and suchlike we operate on.
Lennart Poettering070d0ac2018-04-20 18:09:53 +0200534
Lennart Poettering8c4c2df2018-04-16 12:37:25 +0200535* add support for "portablectl attach http://foobar.com/waaa.raw (i.e. importd integration)
536
537* add attach --enable and attach --now (for attach+enable+start)
538
539* sync dynamic uids/gids between host+portable srvice (i.e. if DynamicUser=1 is set for a service, make sure that the
540 selected user is resolvable in the service even if it ships its own /etc/passwd)
541
Lennart Poettering5da19042018-04-18 12:42:22 +0200542* Fix DECIMAL_STR_MAX or DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH. One includes a trailing NUL, the
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400543 other doesn't. What a disaster. Probably to exclude it. Also
Lennart Poettering5da19042018-04-18 12:42:22 +0200544 DECIMAL_STR_WIDTH should probably add an extra "-" into account for negative
545 numbers.
546
Lennart Poettering16270692018-06-06 11:44:58 +0200547* Check that users of inotify's IN_DELETE_SELF flag are using it properly, as
548 usually IN_ATTRIB is the right way to watch deleted files, as the former only
549 fires when a file is actually removed from disk, i.e. the link count drops to
550 zero and is not open anymore, while the latter happens when a file is
551 unlinked from any dir.
552
Lennart Poetteringbd1b3f72018-09-24 19:01:08 +0200553* port systemctl, busctl, … over to format-table.[ch]'s table formatters
Lennart Poettering5da19042018-04-18 12:42:22 +0200554
Lennart Poettering7bc756f2018-04-06 18:57:48 +0200555* pid1: lock image configured with RootDirectory=/RootImage= using the usual nspawn semantics while the unit is up
556
557* add --vacuum-xyz options to coredumpctl, matching those journalctl already has.
558
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200559* introduce Ephemeral= unit file switch, that creates an ephemeral copy of all
560 files and directories that are left writable for a unit, and which are
561 removed after the unit goes down again. A bit like --ephemeral for
562 systemd-nspawn but for system services. If used together with RootImage= this
563 should reflink the image file itself.
564
565 Related: add Ephemeral=<path1> <path2> … which would allow marking
566 specific paths only like this.
567
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200568* add CopyFile= or so as unit file setting that may be used to copy files or
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400569 directory trees from the host to the services RootImage= and RootDirectory=
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200570 environment. Which we can use for /etc/machine-id and in particular
571 /etc/resolv.conf. Should be smart and do something useful on read-only
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2aed63f2020-08-20 11:23:26 +0200572 images, for example fall back to read-only bind mounting the file instead.
Lennart Poettering53c70a22018-03-29 17:47:03 +0200573
Lennart Poetteringd9b50612018-03-20 20:26:15 +0100574* show invocation ID in systemd-run output
575
576* bypass SIGTERM state in unit files if KillSignal is SIGKILL
577
Lennart Poettering9711b1a2018-02-28 20:21:57 +0100578* add proper dbus APIs for the various sd_notify() commands, such as MAINPID=1
579 and so on, which would mean we could report errors and such.
580
Lennart Poettering1e784322018-02-07 23:03:13 +0100581* teach tmpfiles.d q/Q logic something sensible in the context of XFS/ext4
582 project quota
Lennart Poettering0d545652018-01-31 19:53:16 +0100583
Lennart Poettering6b7b0f32018-02-14 14:28:00 +0100584* introduce DefaultSlice= or so in system.conf that allows changing where we
585 place our units by default, i.e. change system.slice to something
586 else. Similar, ManagerSlice= should exist so that PID1's own scope unit could
587 be moved somewhere else too. Finally machined and logind should get similar
588 options so that it is possible to move user session scopes and machines to a
589 different slice too by default. Usecase: people who want to put resources on
590 the entire system, with the exception of one specific service. See:

592
Lennart Poetteringaa79f932018-01-25 14:14:35 +0100593* maybe rework get_user_creds() to query the user database if $SHELL is used
594 for root, but only then.
595
Lennart Poettering46099c92017-12-30 15:21:12 +0100596* be stricter with fds we receive for the fdstore: close them asynchronously
597
Lennart Poettering46099c92017-12-30 15:21:12 +0100598* calenderspec: add support for week numbers and day numbers within a
599 year. This would allow us to define "bi-weekly" triggers safely.
600
Lennart Poetteringc3cd7cc2017-12-20 19:48:23 +0100601* sd-bus: add vtable flag, that may be used to request client creds implicitly
602 and asynchronously before dispatching the operation
603
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekd0e5db42020-09-15 14:49:36 +0200604* sd-bus: parse addresses given in sd_bus_set_addresses immediately and not
605 only when used. Add unit tests.
606
Lennart Poettering06345852017-11-27 12:42:35 +0100607* make use of ethtool veth peer info in machined, for automatically finding out
608 host-side interface pointing to the container.
609
Lennart Poettering48f1b5e2017-11-24 18:29:29 +0100610* add some special mode to LogsDirectory=/StateDirectory=… that allows
611 declaring these directories without necessarily pulling in deps for them, or
612 creating them when starting up. That way, we could declare that
613 systemd-journald writes to /var/log/journal, which could be useful when we
614 doing disk usage calculations and so on.
615
Lennart Poetteringcb77e122018-03-02 16:25:27 +0100616* taint systemd if there are fewer than 65536 users assigned (userns) to the system.
Lennart Poetteringc6009ff2017-11-22 13:56:10 +0100617
Lennart Poettering899feb72018-11-16 14:30:29 +0100618* deprecate RootDirectoryStartOnly= in favour of a new ExecStart= prefix char
Lennart Poetteringc6009ff2017-11-22 13:56:10 +0100619
Lennart Poettering3d80d452017-11-15 11:25:38 +0100620* add a new RuntimeDirectoryPreserve= mode that defines a similar lifecycle for
621 the runtime dir as we maintain for the fdstore: i.e. keep it around as long
622 as the unit is running or has a job queued.
623
Lennart Poettering5f7ecd62018-10-11 10:27:59 +0200624* support projid-based quota in machinectl for containers
Lennart Poettering5962e9d2017-11-17 18:03:00 +0100625
Lennart Poettering17b6f892017-10-24 12:18:17 +0200626* add a way to lock down cgroup migration: a boolean, which when set for a unit
627 makes sure the processes in it can never migrate out of it
628
Lennart Poettering17b6f892017-10-24 12:18:17 +0200629* blog about fd store and restartable services
630
631* document Environment=SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug drop-in in debugging document
632
Lennart Poettering370f9c22017-10-27 19:01:21 +0200633* rework ExecOutput and ExecInput enums so that EXEC_OUTPUT_NULL loses its
634 magic meaning and is no longer upgraded to something else if set explicitly.
635
Lennart Poettering17b6f892017-10-24 12:18:17 +0200636* in the long run: permit a system with /etc/machine-id linked to /dev/null, to
637 make it lose its identity, i.e. be anonymous. For this we'd have to patch
638 through the whole tree to make all code deal with the case where no machine
639 ID is available.
640
641* optionally, collect cgroup resource data, and store it in per-unit RRD files,
642 suitable for processing with rrdtool. Add bus API to access this data, and
643 possibly implement a CPULoad property based on it.
644
Lennart Poetteringe7e4a252017-11-08 18:36:59 +0100645* beef up pam_systemd to take unit file settings such as cgroups properties as
646 parameters
647
Lennart Poettering6fc373e2017-10-09 15:22:22 +0200648* maybe hook of xfs/ext4 quotactl() with services? i.e. automatically manage
Yu Watanabed51c4fc2020-11-13 16:19:49 +0900649 the quota of the user indicated in User= via unit file settings, like the
Lennart Poettering5962e9d2017-11-17 18:03:00 +0100650 other resource management concepts. Would mix nicely with DynamicUser=1. Or
651 alternatively, do this with projids, so that we can also cover services
652 running as root. Quota should probably cover all the special dirs such as
653 StateDirectory=, LogsDirectory=, CacheDirectory=, as well as RootDirectory= if it
654 is set, plus the whole disk space any image configured with RootImage=.
Lennart Poettering6fc373e2017-10-09 15:22:22 +0200655
Lennart Poettering9a92a972017-11-16 15:21:06 +0100656* In DynamicUser= mode: before selecting a UID, use disk quota APIs on relevant
657 disks to see if the UID is already in use.
658
Lennart Poettering2368e972017-11-13 17:21:27 +0100659* add "systemctl wait" or so, which does what "systemd-run --wait" does, but
660 for all units. It should be both a way to pin units into memory as well as a
661 wait to retrieve their exit data.
662
Lennart Poetteringfa991fb2017-09-28 11:26:11 +0200663* expose IO accounting data on the bus, show it in systemd-run --wait and log
664 about it in the resource log message
665
Lennart Poetteringfa991fb2017-09-28 11:26:11 +0200666* show whether a service has out-of-date configuration in "systemctl status" by
667 using mtime data of ConfigurationDirectory=.
668
Lennart Poetteringd73b6072017-07-10 18:25:58 +0200669* Add AddUser= setting to unit files, similar to DynamicUser=1 which however
670 creates a static, persistent user rather than a dynamic, transient user. We
671 can leverage code from sysusers.d for this.
672
Lennart Poetteringfd63f362017-04-24 18:48:10 +0200673* add some optional flag to ReadWritePaths= and friends, that has the effect
674 that we create the dir in question when the service is started. Example:
675
676 ReadWritePaths=:/var/lib/foobar
677
Lennart Poettering3576ddd2017-02-06 13:49:40 +0100678* maybe add call sd_journal_set_block_timeout() or so to set SO_SNDTIMEO for
679 the sd-journal logging socket, and, if the timeout is set to 0, sets
680 O_NONBLOCK on it. That way people can control if and when to block for
681 logging.
682
Lennart Poetteringfe6a0232017-02-28 15:24:10 +0100683* hostnamed: populate form factor data from a new hwdb database, so that old
684 yogas can be recognized as "convertible" too, even if they predate the DMI
685 "convertible" form factor
686
Lennart Poetteringf59d1da2016-11-24 01:51:36 +0100687* Add ExecMonitor= setting. May be used multiple times. Forks off a process in
688 the service cgroup, which is supposed to monitor the service, and when it
689 exits the service is considered failed by its monitor.
690
Lennart Poettering33bac672017-02-06 20:26:33 +0100691* track the per-service PAM process properly (i.e. as an additional control
692 process), so that it may be queried on the bus and everything.
693
694* add a new "debug" job mode, that is propagated to unit_start() and for
695 services results in two things: we raise SIGSTOP right before invoking
696 execve() and turn off watchdog support. Then, use that to implement
697 "systemd-gdb" for attaching to the start-up of any system service in its
698 natural habitat.
699
Lennart Poettering8eb73832016-12-06 19:26:48 +0100700* gpt-auto logic: related to the above, maybe support a "secondary" root
701 partition, that is mounted to / and is writable, and where the actual root's
702 /usr is mounted into.
703
Lennart Poettering8eb73832016-12-06 19:26:48 +0100704* 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
705
Lennart Poettering67234d22016-10-25 12:43:53 +0200706* drop nss-myhostname in favour of nss-resolve?
707
Lennart Poetteringb5bdbcd2016-10-20 19:19:34 +0200708* add a percentage syntax for TimeoutStopSec=, e.g. TimeoutStopSec=150%, and
709 then use that for the setting used in user@.service. It should be understood
710 relative to the configured default value.
711
Lennart Poetteringd21494e2016-10-06 11:54:03 +0200712* in networkd, when matching device types, fix up DEVTYPE rubbish the kernel passes to us
713
714* enable LockMLOCK to take a percentage value relative to physical memory
715
Lennart Poettering04397462016-08-24 20:53:56 +0200716* Permit masking specific netlink APIs with RestrictAddressFamily=
Lennart Poetteringd82047b2016-07-14 12:26:07 +0200717
Lennart Poetteringd82047b2016-07-14 12:26:07 +0200718* nspawn: support that /proc, /sys/, /dev are pre-mounted
719
Lennart Poetteringd82047b2016-07-14 12:26:07 +0200720* define gpt header bits to select volatility mode
721
Lennart Poettering42d61de2016-05-12 20:14:46 +0200722* ProtectClock= (drops CAP_SYS_TIMES, adds seecomp filters for settimeofday, adjtimex), sets DeviceAllow o /dev/rtc
723
Lennart Poettering04397462016-08-24 20:53:56 +0200724* ProtectTracing= (drops CAP_SYS_PTRACE, blocks ptrace syscall, makes /sys/kernel/tracing go away)
725
Lennart Poettering42d61de2016-05-12 20:14:46 +0200726* ProtectMount= (drop mount/umount/pivot_root from seccomp, disallow fuse via DeviceAllow, imply Mountflags=slave)
727
Lennart Poettering42d61de2016-05-12 20:14:46 +0200728* ProtectKeyRing= to take keyring calls away
729
Lennart Poettering8ce9b832016-08-03 18:40:48 +0200730* RemoveKeyRing= to remove all keyring entries of the specified user
731
Lennart Poetteringa46eac12016-10-07 20:32:23 +0200732* ProtectReboot= that masks reboot() and kexec_load() syscalls, prohibits kill
733 on PID 1 with the relevant signals, and makes relevant files in /sys and
734 /proc (such as the sysrq stuff) unavailable
735
Lennart Poetteringe40a3262016-05-06 16:55:44 +0200736* make sure the ratelimit object can deal with USEC_INFINITY as way to turn off things
Lennart Poettering89f193f2016-05-04 19:01:46 +0200737
Lennart Poettering6809de52016-04-26 15:47:03 +0200738* journalctl: make sure -f ends when the container indicated by -M terminates
739
Lennart Poettering2c5f2952016-08-15 14:48:14 +0200740* mount: automatically search for "main" partition of an image has multiple
741 partitions
742
Lennart Poettering8ce9b832016-08-03 18:40:48 +0200743* in nss-systemd, if we run inside of RootDirectory= with PrivateUsers= set,
744 find a way to map the User=/Group= of the service to the right name. This way
745 a user/group for a service only has to exist on the host for the right
746 mapping to work.
747
Lennart Poettering2c5f2952016-08-15 14:48:14 +0200748* add bus API for creating unit files in /etc, reusing the code for transient units
749
750* add bus API to remove unit files from /etc
751
752* add bus API to retrieve current unit file contents (i.e. implement "systemctl cat" on the bus only)
753
Lennart Poetteringb8c7afd2016-04-20 15:27:27 +0200754* rework fopen_temporary() to make use of open_tmpfile_linkable() (problem: the
755 kernel doesn't support linkat() that replaces existing files, currently)
756
Lennart Poettering1e555cb2016-02-24 17:20:12 +0100757* transient units: don't bother with actually setting unit properties, we
758 reload the unit file anyway
Lennart Poetteringc8048352016-02-18 22:54:57 +0100759
Lennart Poettering1e555cb2016-02-24 17:20:12 +0100760* journald: sigbus API via a signal-handler safe function that people may call
761 from the SIGBUS handler
762
Lennart Poetteringc8048352016-02-18 22:54:57 +0100763* optionally, also require WATCHDOG=1 notifications during service start-up and shutdown
764
Lennart Poettering648b1222016-02-10 22:54:33 +0100765* delay activation of logind until somebody logs in, or when /dev/tty0 pulls it
766 in or lingering is on (so that containers don't bother with it until PAM is used). also exit-on-idle
767
Lennart Poettering3d39e6e2016-01-14 18:08:29 +0100768* cache sd_event_now() result from before the first iteration...
769
Lennart Poetteringbd098bc2015-11-11 14:32:26 +0100770* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
771 specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
772
Lennart Poetteringf9bf1b82016-04-28 21:02:11 +0200773* add an explicit parser for LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
Lennart Poetteringde7399e2015-11-10 17:36:10 +0100774 the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
Lennart Poetteringf9bf1b82016-04-28 21:02:11 +0200775 specifications.
Lennart Poetteringde7399e2015-11-10 17:36:10 +0100776
Lennart Poettering3efc8c72015-10-19 22:30:11 +0200777* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
778
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek5ebbb452019-12-05 10:31:55 +0100779* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller
Lennart Poettering03364e42015-09-17 01:19:06 +0200780
Lennart Poetteringe6a26d82015-08-16 18:25:24 +0200781* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
782
Lennart Poetteringa2088fd2015-06-19 01:12:54 +0200783* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -0400784 as we have for debugfs. for example, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
Lennart Poetteringa2088fd2015-06-19 01:12:54 +0200785 prefixed with /sys generally special.
786 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
787
Lennart Poettering8aa20382015-04-09 13:11:38 +0200788* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
789
Lennart Poetteringb18d23d2015-04-08 17:24:23 +0200790* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
791
Lennart Poettering60d17b72015-04-07 16:45:09 +0200792* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
793 running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
794 state.
795 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
796
Lennart Poettering477e75e2015-01-28 17:48:01 +0100797* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
798 whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
799 be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
800 picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
801 the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
802
Lennart Poettering2bc39682015-01-27 14:31:29 +0100803* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
804 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
805
Lennart Poetteringc3a0d002014-12-19 02:07:35 +0100806* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
807
Lennart Poetteringd2f81fb2014-12-15 18:48:20 +0100808* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
809 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
Lennart Poettering98cd2652014-12-12 17:30:02 +0100810
Lennart Poettering2a441c82014-12-05 14:09:33 +0100811* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
812 operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
813 ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
814 do, for example)
815
Lennart Poettering0a86c1a2014-12-04 04:17:09 +0100816* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
817 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
818
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke031c222016-09-12 20:20:33 +0100819* as soon as we have sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
Lennart Poettering0a86c1a2014-12-04 04:17:09 +0100820 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
821
Lennart Poettering8514b672014-11-26 14:14:17 +0100822* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
823
Lennart Poettering7b0fce62014-11-18 23:35:46 +0100824* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
825 while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
826 races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
827 returning from the "systemctl stop".
828
Lennart Poetteringb568ef12014-11-26 12:11:39 +0100829* 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 +0100830
Lennart Poetteringd48b7bd2014-11-07 16:31:42 +0100831* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
832
Lennart Poettering8483d732014-10-22 20:24:16 +0200833* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
834 can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
835
Kay Sievers25e773e2014-11-13 13:11:04 +0100836* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
Lennart Poetteringb857e042014-10-22 12:40:49 +0200837
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +0100838* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
Lennart Poettering533bb262014-09-03 18:59:17 +0200839
Lennart Poettering720652b2016-01-26 13:37:42 +0100840* exponential backoff in timesyncd when we cannot reach a server
Lennart Poettering42aeb142014-08-26 03:59:05 +0200841
Lennart Poettering720652b2016-01-26 13:37:42 +0100842* timesyncd: add ugly bus calls to set NTP servers per-interface, for usage by NM
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100843
Lennart Poettering563b1bd2014-08-15 18:01:30 +0200844* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
845
Tom Gundersen6bd79412015-03-24 23:05:43 +0100846* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
847 (throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
848
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200849* resolved:
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200850 - mDNS/DNS-SD
Lennart Poetteringccc3e8a2015-11-23 23:12:27 +0100851 - service registration
852 - service/domain/types browsing
Lennart Poettering0f47ed02014-07-31 17:47:09 +0200853 - avahi compat
Lennart Poettering9d6db732014-07-16 00:31:27 +0200854 - DNS-SD service registration from socket units
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100855 - resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
856 names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
857 (maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
Lennart Poettering720652b2016-01-26 13:37:42 +0100858 - allow clients to request DNSSEC for a single lookup even if DNSSEC is off (?)
Lennart Poettering3efb8712016-06-24 11:45:06 +0200859 - hook up resolved with machined-based address resolution
Kay Sievers3f77a1b2014-07-30 17:28:04 +0200860
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100861* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
Lennart Poetteringe2a69292014-07-09 19:20:48 +0200862
Lennart Poettering2834ffe2014-07-01 13:51:26 +0200863* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
864
Lennart Poetteringa9407782014-07-07 11:48:06 +0200865* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
866
Lennart Poettering3de03732014-05-22 16:14:50 +0900867* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
868
Lennart Poettering37efac52014-05-05 21:18:54 +0200869* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
870
Lennart Poettering7348b3a2014-05-02 17:56:01 +0200871* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
872
Kay Sievers81429132014-06-18 03:46:44 +0200873* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
874 they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
Lennart Poetteringe107ed12014-04-23 22:41:44 +0200875
Lennart Poetteringedb29352014-03-14 21:10:55 +0100876* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
877
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100878* gpt-auto-generator:
Lennart Poettering2a781fc2014-03-08 04:05:48 +0100879 - Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100880 - Make /home automount rather than mount?
Lennart Poettering6a3f8922014-03-05 22:31:03 +0100881
Lennart Poettering65026402014-02-24 17:34:37 +0100882* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
883 CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
884 when it is otherwise off
Lennart Poetteringf8901862014-02-24 13:21:55 +0100885
Lennart Poetteringf9bf1b82016-04-28 21:02:11 +0200886* MessageQueueMessageSize= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
Lennart Poetteringeda8f062014-02-23 03:18:46 +0100887
Lennart Poetteringaf1082b2014-02-14 16:40:52 +0100888* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
889 service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
890 for ReusePort=
891
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100892* cgroups:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100893 - implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100894 - introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
895 - how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
896 - when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
897 - when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
898 the hierarchies of child processes
899
900* transient units:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100901 - 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 +0100902
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100903* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
904
Lennart Poettering718db962013-11-19 21:12:59 +0100905* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
906
Lennart Poettering966204e2013-11-11 03:03:17 +0100907* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
908
Lennart Poettering41644622013-10-14 04:52:51 +0200909* 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
910
Lennart Poettering7f79cd72013-10-04 17:01:32 +0200911* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
Lennart Poettering0aafd432013-09-17 10:01:08 -0500912
Jan Engelhardt19aadac2013-10-22 01:50:48 +0200913* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
914 error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
Lennart Poetteringdf5f6972013-09-13 14:28:17 +0200915 path anyway.
916
Lennart Poettering04397462016-08-24 20:53:56 +0200917* refuse boot if /usr/lib/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
Lennart Poetteringfcba5312013-09-12 18:09:00 +0200918
Lennart Poetteringbdeeb6b2013-07-10 02:01:14 +0200919* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
920
921* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
922
Tom Gundersen6bb648a2014-01-13 17:30:51 +0100923* sd-bus:
Lennart Poettering0d43ffe2015-08-20 12:20:14 +0200924 - EBADSLT handling
Lennart Poetteringfa607802015-01-09 21:32:29 +0100925 - GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
Lennart Poettering7212c602014-11-26 15:01:50 +0100926 - port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +0100927 - 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 +0100928 - see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100929 - add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
Lennart Poetteringab9716c2014-01-22 20:29:57 +0100930 - longer term: priority inheritance
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100931 - dbus spec updates:
Lennart Poetteringdf98a872013-12-22 00:12:54 +0100932 - NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
933 - GVariant
Lennart Poettering2ecfc642014-03-10 23:17:42 +0100934 - path escaping
Lennart Poettering6a8b5fa2014-01-17 19:59:50 +0100935 - update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +0100936
937* sd-event
Lennart Poettering12179982013-12-13 04:03:30 +0100938 - allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek0536ce52014-10-05 15:29:20 -0400939 - document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +0100940 - define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
Lennart Poetteringf6ad6242020-07-28 11:23:20 +0200941 - maybe support iouring as backend, so that we allow hooking read and write
942 operations instead of IO ready events into event loops. See considerations
943 here:
944 http://blog.vmsplice.net/2020/07/rethinking-event-loop-integration-for.html
Lennart Poetteringeb01ba52013-05-16 21:14:56 +0200945
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek69af4502013-07-16 22:44:38 -0400946* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
Lennart Poetteringe8a7a312013-04-24 17:18:01 -0300947
Lennart Poettering461bd8e2013-04-18 22:19:33 +0200948* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
949 should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
950
Lennart Poetteringab8e0742013-04-17 22:23:18 +0200951* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
952
953* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
954
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekfff87a32013-04-22 20:39:40 -0400955* test/:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek20d52ab2018-03-13 12:25:06 +0100956 - add unit tests for config_parse_device_allow()
Lennart Poetteringb8b4d3d2013-04-09 22:20:05 +0200957
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100958* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +0200959 destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
Lennart Poetteringb5c03632013-03-29 18:28:43 +0100960 /etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
961 destination.
962
Lennart Poetteringeece8c62013-03-25 18:17:15 +0100963* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
964 all units we stop before the isolating unit...
965
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100966* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
967
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek6daebf92020-04-20 12:41:49 +0200968* Add ConditionDirectoryNotEmpty= handle non-absoute paths as a search path or add
969 ConditionConfigSearchPathNotEmpty= or different syntax? See the discussion starting at
970 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/15109#issuecomment-607740136.
971
Lennart Poetteringc1446922014-03-21 03:27:17 +0100972* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
973 that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
974 how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
975 is installed.
Lennart Poettering795607b2013-03-11 17:49:33 +0100976
Lennart Poettering0be83422013-03-07 13:39:57 +0100977* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
978 the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
979 and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
980 that automatically.
981
Lennart Poetteringe5ec62c2013-04-01 23:04:11 +0200982* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
Lennart Poettering54c31a72013-02-28 19:55:48 +0100983
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmekccddd102016-04-21 22:57:06 -0400984* 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 +0100985
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +0100986* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
987
Lennart Poettering356ce992013-03-22 23:28:36 +0100988* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100989
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100990* EFI:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100991 - honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
992 - honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
Kay Sievers466784c2013-07-18 23:07:37 +0200993 - 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 +0100994* bootctl
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek631427d2019-03-20 11:28:35 +0100995 - recognize the case when not booted on EFI
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100996
Kay Sieversc0fe5db2013-01-27 22:59:01 +0100997* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100998
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +0100999* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
1000
Lennart Poettering205b7fa2013-01-07 22:15:48 +01001001* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
1002
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001003* logind:
1004 - logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001005 - logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
1006 - Add pretty name for seats in logind
1007 - logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001008 - add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
1009 - if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
1010 any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
1011 usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
1012 needs setuid().
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +01001013 - logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
1014 the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
1015 for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
1016 complete.
1017 - logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
1018 logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
1019 shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +01001020 - expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001021 - maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
1022 - rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
1023 the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
1024 make assumptions about their slice anymore.
1025 - follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
1026 relogins
Lennart Poettering77b19ca2020-04-02 16:00:06 +02001027 - (optionally?) spawn seat-manager@$SEAT.service whenever a seat shows up that as CanGraphical set
Lennart Poettering95b4be12012-12-23 22:38:21 +01001028
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001029* journal:
Lennart Poettering57f2a942014-11-04 17:54:40 +01001030 - consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001031 - journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
1032 - journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
1033 - add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek2aed63f2020-08-20 11:23:26 +02001034 - fall back to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001035 - declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001036 - sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
1037 - journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
1038 "dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
Ben Boeckel5238e952019-04-26 20:22:40 -04001039 message that works, but already after a short timeout
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001040 - check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
1041 - maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
Lennart Poetteringf47ec8e2013-03-05 18:59:14 +01001042 - 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 +01001043 - journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
1044 and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek06847d02020-07-19 10:22:21 +02001045 - journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() in the header,
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek038cf332015-01-12 19:15:02 -05001046 so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001047 - 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.
1048 - journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
1049 - journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001050 - journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
1051 - refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
1052 - journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
1053 - journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001054 - 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 -07001055 - Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001056 - journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001057 - when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
1058 - journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
1059 - journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
1060 full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
1061 to syslog when it works again.
Lennart Poettering279f0362014-11-26 03:18:17 +01001062 - journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
1063 - journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
1064 journals in.
1065 - journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
1066 - improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
1067 lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
1068 do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
1069 the most common operations.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001070 - man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001071 - rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
1072 - Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
1073 services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
1074 in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
1075 invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
1076 if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
1077 operation.
1078 - journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
1079 written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
1080 - add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
1081 binary logs data
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001082 - add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001083 - journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
1084 them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
1085 Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
1086 - assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek06847d02020-07-19 10:22:21 +02001087 - check if loop in decompress_blob_xz() is necessary
Lennart Poettering59659842012-11-22 20:16:15 +01001088
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek590171d2017-12-14 14:12:39 +01001089* add a test if all entries in the catalog are properly formatted.
1090 (Adding dashes in a catalog entry currently results in the catalog entry
1091 being silently skipped. journalctl --update-catalog must warn about this,
1092 and we should also have a unit test to check that all our message are OK.)
1093
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001094* document:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek8b8f2592013-12-25 22:53:09 -05001095 - document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001096 [Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
1097 - 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 +01001098 - document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001099 - add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
1100 - document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001101 - documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
1102 - man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek5cf821a2020-07-23 09:03:58 +02001103 - man: add more examples to man pages,
1104 - in particular an example how to do the equivalent of switching runlevels
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001105 - 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 +01001106 - document root=gpt-auto properly
Lennart Poetteringe4181482012-11-20 21:33:49 +01001107
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001108* systemctl:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001109 - add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
1110 - Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
1111 - "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
1112 nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
1113 about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
1114 - print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
1115 - add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +02001116 - 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 +01001117 - systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
Torstein Husebø61233822016-07-10 14:48:23 +02001118 - systemctl status output should include list of triggering units and their status
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001119
1120* unit install:
1121 - "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
1122 (i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
Lennart Poettering8ed20652012-11-18 23:32:09 +01001123
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001124* timer units:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001125 - timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001126 o DST changes
Lennart Poettering90e071d2013-11-05 00:48:47 +01001127 - Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
Kay Sieversd2e83c22012-11-04 15:47:08 +01001128
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +02001129* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
1130
Lennart Poetteringa7a3f282012-10-15 16:28:04 +02001131* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
1132
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001133* 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 -04001134
Lennart Poetteringf59d1da2016-11-24 01:51:36 +01001135* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump
Lennart Poetteringdcfc4b22012-08-03 21:49:06 +02001136
Lennart Poettering71ef24d2012-10-02 13:11:26 -04001137* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
1138
Jan Engelhardtd28315e2014-05-03 19:15:23 +02001139* 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 +02001140
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001141* nspawn:
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001142 - emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
1143 with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
1144 systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
1145 from the kernel's logs.
1146 - as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
1147 --network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
1148 interface be missing
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001149 - a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
1150 automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
1151 together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
1152 - fix logic always print a final newline on output.
1153 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
1154 - should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
1155 PID 1...
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001156 - optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
1157 running, remove them when shut down.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001158
1159* machined:
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001160 - add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
1161 removed or added to an existing machine
1162 - "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
1163 difference host, via ssh
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001164 - introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
1165 "machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
1166 - "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
1167 question
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001168 - "machinectl history"
1169 - "machinectl diff"
1170 - "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
1171 shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
1172
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001173* cryptsetup:
Lennart Poetteringb44be3e2013-01-25 21:11:59 +01001174 - cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
Lennart Poettering5f1dac62013-04-29 19:57:29 -03001175 - support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
Lennart Poetteringf8019682012-09-21 20:52:23 +02001176
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +02001177* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
Lennart Poettering41f91722012-09-18 11:27:56 +02001178 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
Lennart Poettering424a19f2012-09-14 20:02:52 +02001179
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek83fefc82017-10-06 10:04:49 +02001180* add a dependency on standard-conf.xml and other included files to man pages
1181
Lennart Poettering68f16002012-08-13 15:39:25 +02001182* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
1183
Lennart Poetteringfd4d89b2012-08-08 18:10:35 +02001184* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
1185
Lennart Poettering47ae7202012-07-27 12:21:39 +02001186* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
1187
Kay Sieversabd55b12013-01-17 03:30:55 +01001188* udev:
Kay Sieversabd55b12013-01-17 03:30:55 +01001189 - move to LGPL
Kay Sieversabd55b12013-01-17 03:30:55 +01001190 - kill scsi_id
1191 - add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
Tom Gundersene8d842a2014-02-21 21:41:48 +01001192 - reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
Kay Sievers4ee71782012-04-30 00:46:38 +02001193
Lennart Poettering7f110ff2012-03-12 22:22:16 +01001194* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
1195
Lennart Poetteringd0e5a332012-02-20 19:56:14 +01001196* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
1197
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001198* coredump:
1199 - save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek73a99162016-09-27 12:40:54 +02001200 - 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 +01001201
1202* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
1203
Kay Sieversf9576322011-09-21 19:33:52 +02001204* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
1205 needs to be auto-respawned?
1206
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001207* tmpfiles:
Lennart Poetteringf38afcd2013-11-28 18:42:00 +01001208 - apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek614cc342015-01-18 18:28:17 -05001209 - instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001210 - creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
1211 should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
1212 calls follow symlinks.
Lennart Poettering12580972011-07-11 21:10:48 +02001213
Lennart Poetteringa4c279f2011-07-08 21:39:10 +02001214* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
1215
Lennart Poetteringf28f1da2011-05-20 01:57:20 +02001216* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
1217 when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
1218 assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
1219
Lennart Poettering88a07672011-05-12 16:14:44 +02001220* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
1221 the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
1222
Lennart Poettering71092d72011-07-29 05:01:47 +02001223* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
Lennart Poettering916abb22011-05-17 19:37:03 +02001224
Lennart Poettering68c7d002011-04-05 00:24:00 +02001225* write blog stories about:
Kay Sievers796b06c2012-10-22 18:23:08 +02001226 - hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
Lennart Poettering68c7d002011-04-05 00:24:00 +02001227 - enabling dbus services
Lennart Poettering7a2a0b92011-07-12 03:36:17 +02001228 - how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
Lennart Poettering253ee272011-07-23 04:15:38 +02001229 - remote access
Lennart Poettering5d0fcd72011-07-27 20:47:50 +02001230 - how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
Lennart Poettering8bbabc42012-05-24 17:04:04 +02001231 - testing with Harald's awesome test kit
Lennart Poetteringf5303712012-10-16 01:01:55 +02001232 - auto-restart
Lennart Poetteringe707c492012-10-26 03:51:10 +02001233 - how to develop against journal browsing APIs
Lennart Poetteringa19554e2012-10-24 01:05:40 +02001234 - the journal HTTP iface
Lennart Poetteringa73d88f2012-10-25 01:20:18 +02001235 - non-cgroup resource management
Lennart Poetteringa74a8792013-01-17 00:11:27 +01001236 - dynamic resource management with cgroups
Lennart Poettering30407282012-11-20 19:11:55 +01001237 - refreshed, longer missions statement
Lennart Poettering3679d112013-02-27 02:24:10 +01001238 - calendar time events
1239 - init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
1240 - how to create your own target
1241 - instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
1242 - hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
Lennart Poettering73090dc2011-04-19 06:06:41 +02001243
Lennart Poettering21bdae12011-07-02 01:44:49 +02001244* investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
1245
Lennart Poettering59fee422010-09-28 21:49:26 +02001246* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
1247
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001248* pid1:
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001249 - When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
1250 log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
1251 - generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
1252 that are not supported...
1253 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
1254 - maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
1255 http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
1256 - recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001257 - move PAM code into its own binary
1258 - when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001259 - hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
1260 - Support --test based on current system state
1261 - 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().
1262 - after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001263 - drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
1264 currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
1265 cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
1266 being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
1267 when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
1268 but much rather a disconnect on success.
1269 - when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
1270 - when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
1271
1272* unit files:
1273 - allow port=0 in .socket units
1274 - maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
1275 - add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
1276 - implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
1277 in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
1278 - allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
1279 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
1280 - allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001281 - introduce Type=pid-file
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001282 - introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
1283 - add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001284 - Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke5171292019-12-13 19:25:50 +01001285 - add verification of [Install] section to systemd-analyze verify
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001286
Tom Gundersenaf6f0d42013-10-26 00:34:01 +02001287* udev-link-config:
1288 - Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
1289 network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
1290 on Path= matching
Tom Gundersenaf6f0d42013-10-26 00:34:01 +02001291
Tom Gundersen88e4d1d2013-11-27 23:15:04 +01001292* sd-rtnl:
Tom Gundersen88e4d1d2013-11-27 23:15:04 +01001293 - add support for more attribute types
Tom Gundersenc589a0e2014-03-31 11:30:59 +02001294 - inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
Tom Gundersen88e4d1d2013-11-27 23:15:04 +01001295
Tom Gundersen0a4b9a02013-12-04 13:14:23 +01001296* networkd:
Tom Gundersenc74ecd72014-01-11 20:19:10 +00001297 - add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
1298 - add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
Tom Gundersene8d842a2014-02-21 21:41:48 +01001299 - add reduced [Link] support to .network files
Umut Tezduyar Lindskog798e1742014-04-27 23:45:42 +02001300 - properly handle routerless dhcp leases
Jan Engelhardta8eaaee2014-08-03 07:11:37 +02001301 - work with non-Ethernet devices
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001302 - 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 +01001303 - the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
1304 a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
1305 - expose in the API the following bits:
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmeke2da6492020-05-19 08:55:46 +02001306 - option 15, domain name
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek38b38502020-04-14 10:37:40 +02001307 - option 12, hostname and/or option 81, fqdn
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001308 - option 123, 144, geolocation
1309 - option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
1310 - provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
1311 for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
1312 - allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
1313 support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
1314 - duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
David Herrmanne25b5a82015-11-16 15:05:00 +01001315 - whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW

Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001322* dhcp6:
1323 - add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
1324 them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
1325 - write more test cases
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001326 - implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001327 - implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
Patrik Flykt37d8b532014-06-24 16:24:50 +03001328 - implement dhcpv6 authentication
1329 - investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
1330 situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
1331 or interface down
1332 - some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
1333 this behavior
