Bugfixes:
|
||
|
||
* Should systemctl status \* work on all unit types, not just .service?
|
||
|
||
* Dangling symlinks of .automount unit files in .wants/ directories, set up
|
||
automount points even when the original .automount file did not exist
|
||
anymore. Only the .mount unit was still around.
|
||
|
||
* ExecStart with unicode characters fails in strv_split_extract:
|
||
|
||
[Service]
|
||
Environment=ONE='one' "TWO='two two' too" THREE=
|
||
ExecStart=/bin/python3 -c 'import sys;print(sys.argv)' $ONE $TWO $THREE
|
||
|
||
* When systemctl --host is used, underlying ssh connection can remain open.
|
||
bus_close does not kill children?
|
||
|
||
External:
|
||
|
||
* Fedora: add an rpmlint check that verifies that all unit files in the RPM are listed in %systemd_post macros.
|
||
|
||
* wiki: update journal format documentation for lz4 additions
|
||
|
||
Janitorial Clean-ups:
|
||
|
||
* code cleanup: retire FOREACH_WORD_QUOTED, port to extract_first_word() loops instead
|
||
|
||
* replace manual readdir() loops with FOREACH_DIRENT or FOREACH_DIRENT_ALL
|
||
|
||
* Get rid of the last strerror() invocations in favour of %m and strerror_r()
|
||
|
||
* Rearrange tests so that the various test-xyz.c match a specific src/basic/xyz.c again
|
||
|
||
Features:
|
||
|
||
* PID1: find a way how we can reload unit file configuration for
|
||
specific units only, without reloading the whole of systemd
|
||
|
||
* add an explicit parser for LimitNICE= and LimitRTPRIO= that verifies
|
||
the specified range and generates sane error messages for incorrect
|
||
specifications. Also, for LimitNICE= maybe introduce a syntax such
|
||
as "+5" or "-7" in order to make the limits more readable as they
|
||
are otherwise shifted by 20.
|
||
|
||
* do something about "/control" subcgroups in the unified cgroup hierarchy
|
||
|
||
* when we detect that there are waiting jobs but no running jobs, do something
|
||
|
||
* push CPUAffinity= also into the "cpuset" cgroup controller (only after the cpuset controller got ported to the unified hierarchy)
|
||
|
||
* add a new command "systemctl revert" or so, that removes all dropin
|
||
snippets in /run and /etc, and all unit files with counterparts in
|
||
/usr, and thus undoes what "systemctl set-property" and "systemctl
|
||
edit" create. Maybe even add "systemctl revert -a" to do this for
|
||
all units.
|
||
|
||
* PID 1 should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages (for usage in the --user mode, and when run via nspawn)
|
||
|
||
* consider throwing a warning if a service declares it wants to be "Before=" a .device unit.
|
||
|
||
* "systemctl edit" should know a mode to create a new unit file
|
||
|
||
* there's probably something wrong with having user mounts below /sys,
|
||
as we have for debugfs. for exmaple, src/core/mount.c handles mounts
|
||
prefixed with /sys generally special.
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-June/032962.html
|
||
|
||
* man: document that unless you use StandardError=null the shell >/dev/stderr won't work in shell scripts in services
|
||
|
||
* "systemctl daemon-reload" should result in /etc/systemd/system.conf being reloaded by systemd
|
||
|
||
* install: include generator dirs in unit file search paths
|
||
|
||
* rework C11 utf8.[ch] to use char32_t instead of uint32_t when referring
|
||
to unicode chars, to make things more expressive.
|
||
|
||
* fstab-generator: default to tmpfs-as-root if only usr= is specified on the kernel cmdline
|
||
|
||
* docs: bring http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/MyServiceCantGetRealtime up to date
|
||
|
||
* mounting and unmounting mount points manually with different source
|
||
devices will result in collected collected on all devices used.
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030225.html
|
||
|
||
* add a job mode that will fail if a transaction would mean stopping
|
||
running units. Use this in timedated to manage the NTP service
|
||
state.
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030229.html
|
||
|
||
* Maybe add support for the equivalent of "ethtool advertise" to .link files?
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-April/030112.html
|
||
|
||
* The udev blkid built-in should expose a property that reflects
|
||
whether media was sensed in USB CF/SD card readers. This should then
|
||
be used to control SYSTEMD_READY=1/0 so that USB card readers aren't
|
||
picked up by systemd unless they contain a medium. This would mirror
|
||
the behaviour we already have for CD drives.
|
||
|
||
* networkd/udev: implement SR_IOV configuration in .link files:
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027451.html
|
||
|
||
* Rework systemctl's GetAll property parsing to use the generic bus_map_all_properties() API
|
||
|
||
* implement a per-service firewall based on net_cls
|
||
|
||
* Port various tools to make use of verbs.[ch], where applicable
|
||
|
||
* hostnamectl: show root image uuid
|
||
|
||
* sysfs set api in libudev is not const
|
||
|
||
* Find a solution for SMACK capabilities stuff:
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/026188.html
|
||
|
||
* "systemctl preset-all" should probably order the unit files it
|
||
operates on lexicographically before starting to work, in order to
|
||
ensure deterministic behaviour if two unit files conflict (like DMs
|
||
do, for example)
|
||
|
||
* synchronize console access with BSD locks:
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-October/024582.html
|
||
|
||
* as soon as we have kdbus, and sender timestamps, revisit coalescing multiple parallel daemon reloads:
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-December/025862.html
|
||
|
||
* the install state probably shouldn't get confused by generated units, think dbus1/kdbus compat!
|
||
|
||
* in systemctl list-unit-files: show the install value the presets would suggest for a service in a third column
|
||
|
||
* figure out when we can use the coarse timers
|
||
|
||
* add "systemctl start -v foobar.service" that shows logs of a service
|
||
while the start command runs. This is non-trivial to do without
|
||
races though, since we should flush out all journal messages before
|
||
returning from the "systemctl stop".
|
||
|
||
* 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
|
||
|
||
* add infrastructure to allocate dynamic/transient users and UID ranges, for use in user-namespaced containers, per-seat gdm login screens and gdm guest sessions
|
||
|
||
* maybe add support for specifier expansion in user.conf, specifically DefaultEnvironment=
|
||
|
||
* introduce systemd-timesync-wait.service or so to sync on an NTP fix?
|
||
|
||
* systemd --user should issue sd_notify() upon reaching basic.target, not on becoming idle
|
||
|
||
* consider showing the unit names during boot up in the status output, not just the unit descriptions
|
||
|
||
* maybe allow timer units with an empty Units= setting, so that they
|
||
can be used for resuming the system but nothing else.
|
||
|
||
* what to do about udev db binary stability for apps? (raw access is not an option)
|
||
|
||
* maybe provide an API to allow migration of foreign PIDs into existing scopes.
|
||
|
||
* man: maybe use the word "inspect" rather than "introspect"?
|
||
|
||
* systemctl: if some operation fails, show log output?
|
||
|
||
* systemctl edit:
|
||
- allow creation of units from scratch
|
||
- use equvalent of cat() to insert existing config as a comment, prepended with #.
|
||
Upon editor exit, lines with one # are removed, lines with two # are left with one #, etc.
|
||
|
||
* exponential backoff in timesyncd and resolved when we cannot reach a server
|
||
|
||
* timesyncd + resolved: add ugly bus calls to set NTP and DNS servers per-interface, for usage by NM
|
||
|
||
* extract_many_words() should probably be used by a lot of code that
|
||
currently uses FOREACH_WORD and friends. For example, most conf
|
||
parsing callbacks should use it.
|
||
|
||
* merge ~/.local/share and ~/.local/lib into one similar /usr/lib and /usr/share....
|
||
|
||
* systemd.show_status= should probably have a mode where only failed
|
||
units are shown.
|
||
|
||
* add systemd.abort_on_kill or some other such flag to send SIGABRT instead of SIGKILL
|
||
(throughout the codebase, not only PID1)
|
||
|
||
* resolved:
|
||
- put networkd events and rtnl events at a higher priority, so that
|
||
we always process them before we process client requests
|
||
- DNSSEC
|
||
- add display of private key types (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4034#appendix-A.1.1)?
|
||
- synthesize negative cache entries from NSEC/NSEC3 and drop explicit negative caching of authenticated answers
|
||
- mDNS/DNS-SD
|
||
- mDNS RR resolving
|
||
- service registration
|
||
- service/domain/types browsing
|
||
- avahi compat
|
||
- DNS-SD service registration from socket units
|
||
- resolved should optionally register additional per-interface LLMNR
|
||
names, so that for the container case we can establish the same name
|
||
(maybe "host") for referencing the server, everywhere.
|
||
- add API so NM can push DNS server info into resolved
|
||
|
||
* refcounting in sd-resolve is borked
|
||
|
||
* Add a new verb "systemctl top"
|
||
|
||
* add new gpt type for btrfs volumes
|
||
|
||
* support empty /etc boots nicely:
|
||
- nspawn/gpt-generator: introduce new gpt partition type for /usr
|
||
- fstab-generator: support systemd.volatile=yes|no|state on the kernel cmdline, too, similar to nspawn's --volatile=
|
||
|
||
* generator that automatically discovers btrfs subvolumes, identifies their purpose based on some xattr on them.
|
||
|
||
* a way for container managers to turn off getty starting via $container_headless= or so...
|
||
|
||
* figure out a nice way how we can let the admin know what child/sibling unit causes cgroup membership for a specific unit
|
||
|
||
* mount_cgroup_controllers(): symlinks need to get the label applied
|
||
|
||
* For timer units: add some mechanisms so that timer units that trigger immediately on boot do not have the services
|
||
they run added to the initial transaction and thus confuse Type=idle.
|
||
|
||
* Run most system services with cgroupfs read-only and procfs with a more secure mode (doesn't work, since the hidepid= option is per-pid-namespace, not per-mount)
|
||
|
||
* add bus api to query unit file's X fields.
|
||
|
||
* gpt-auto-generator:
|
||
- Support LUKS for root devices
|
||
- Define new partition type for encrypted swap? Support probed LUKS for encrypted swap?
|
||
- Make /home automount rather than mount?
|
||
|
||
* add generator that pulls in systemd-network from containers when
|
||
CAP_NET_ADMIN is set, more than the loopback device is defined, even
|
||
when it is otherwise off
|
||
|
||
* MessageQueueMessageSize= and RLimitFSIZE= (and suchlike) should use parse_iec_size().
|
||
|
||
* "busctl status" works only as root on dbus1, since we cannot read
|
||
/proc/$PID/exe
|
||
|
||
* implement Distribute= in socket units to allow running multiple
|
||
service instances processing the listening socket, and open this up
|
||
for ReusePort=
|
||
|
||
* socket units: support creating sockets in different namespace,
|
||
opening it up for JoinsNamespaceOf=. This would require to fork off
|
||
a tiny process that joins the namespace and creates/binds the socket
|
||
and passes this back to PID1 via SCM_RIGHTS. This also could be used
|
||
to allow Chown/chgrp on sockets without requiring NSS in PID 1.
|
||
|
||
* New service property: maximum CPU and wallclock runtime for a service
|
||
|
||
* introduce bus call FreezeUnit(s, b), as well as "systemctl freeze
|
||
$UNIT" and "systemctl thaw $UNIT" as wrappers around this. The calls
|
||
should SIGSTOP all unit processes in a loop until all processes of
|
||
it are fully stopped. This can later be used for app management by
|
||
desktop UIs such as gnome-shell to freeze apps that are not visible
|
||
on screen, not unlike how job control works on the shell
|
||
|
||
* cgroups:
|
||
- implement per-slice CPUFairScheduling=1 switch
|
||
- handle jointly mounted controllers correctly
|
||
- introduce high-level settings for RT budget, swappiness
|
||
- how to reset dynamically changed unit cgroup attributes sanely?
|
||
- when reloading configuration, apply new cgroup configuration
|
||
- when recursively showing the cgroup hierarchy, optionally also show
|
||
the hierarchies of child processes
|
||
|
||
* transient units:
|
||
- add field to transient units that indicate whether systemd or somebody else saves/restores its settings, for integration with libvirt
|
||
- ensure scope units may be started only a single time
|
||
|
||
* Automatically configure swap partition to use for hibernation by looking for largest swap partition on the root disk?
|
||
|
||
* when we detect low battery and no AC on boot, show pretty splash and refuse boot
|
||
|
||
* libsystemd-journal, libsystemd-login, libudev: add calls to easily attach these objects to sd-event event loops
|
||
|
||
* be more careful what we export on the bus as (usec_t) 0 and (usec_t) -1
|
||
|
||
* unify dispatch table in systemctl_main() and friends
|
||
|
||
* 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
|
||
|
||
* After coming back from hibernation reset hibernation swap partition using the /dev/snapshot ioctl APIs
|
||
|
||
* If we try to find a unit via a dangling symlink, generate a clean
|
||
error. Currently, we just ignore it and read the unit from the search
|
||
path anyway.
|
||
|
||
* refuse boot if /etc/os-release is missing or /etc/machine-id cannot be set up
|
||
|
||
* btrfs raid assembly: some .device jobs stay stuck in the queue
|
||
|
||
* make sure gdm does not use multi-user-x but the new default X configuration file, and then remove multi-user-x from systemd
|
||
|
||
* man: the documentation of Restart= currently is very misleading and suggests the tools from ExecStartPre= might get restarted.
|
||
|
||
* load .d/*.conf dropins for device units
|
||
|
||
* allow implementation of InaccessibleDirectories=/ plus
|
||
ReadOnlyDirectories=... for whitelisting files for a service.
|
||
|
||
* sd-bus:
|
||
- EBADSLT handling
|
||
- GetAllProperties() on a non-existing object does not result in a failure currently
|
||
- kdbus: process fd=-1 for incoming msgs
|
||
- port to sd-resolve for connecting to TCP dbus servers
|
||
- kdbus: maybe add controlling tty metadata fields
|
||
- 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
|
||
- when kdbus does not take our message without memfds, try again with memfds
|
||
- see if we can drop more message validation on the sending side
|
||
- add API to clone sd_bus_message objects
|
||
- make AddMatch calls on dbus1 transports async?
|
||
- kdbus: matches against source or destination pids for an "strace -p"-like feel. Problem: The PID info needs to be available in userspace too...
|
||
- longer term: priority inheritance
|
||
- dbus spec updates:
|
||
- kdbus mapping
|
||
- NameLost/NameAcquired obsolete
|
||
- GVariant
|
||
- path escaping
|
||
- update systemd.special(7) to mention that dbus.socket is only about the compatibility socket now
|
||
- test bloom filter generation indexes
|
||
- bus-proxy: when passing messages from kdbus, make sure we properly
|
||
handle the case where a large number of fds is appended that we
|
||
cannot pass into sendmsg() of the AF_UNIX sokcet (which only accepts
|
||
253 messages)
|
||
- kdbus: introduce a concept of "send-only" connections
|
||
- kdbus: add counter for refused unicast messages that is passed out via the RECV ioctl. SImilar to the counter for dropped multicast messages we already have.
|
||
|
||
* sd-event
|
||
- allow multiple signal handlers per signal?
|
||
- document chaining of signal handler for SIGCHLD and child handlers
|
||
- define more intervals where we will shift wakeup intervals around in, 1h, 6h, 24h, ...
|
||
- generate a failure of a default event loop is executed out-of-thread
|
||
- maybe add support for inotify events
|
||
|
||
* in the final killing spree, detect processes from the root directory, and
|
||
complain loudly if they have argv[0][0] == '@' set.
|
||
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=961044
|
||
|
||
* investigate endianness issues of UUID vs. GUID
|
||
|
||
* dbus: when a unit failed to load (i.e. is in UNIT_ERROR state), we
|
||
should be able to safely try another attempt when the bus call LoadUnit() is invoked.
|
||
|
||
* add a pam module that passes the hdd passphrase into the PAM stack and then expires it, for usage by gdm auto-login.
|
||
|
||
* add a pam module that on password changes updates any LUKS slot where the password matches
|
||
|
||
* maybe add a generator that looks for "systemd.run=" on the kernel cmdline for container usercases...
|
||
|
||
* cgtop: make cgtop useful in a container
|
||
|
||
* test/:
|
||
- add 'set -e' to scripts in test/
|
||
- make stuff in test/ work with separate output dir
|
||
|
||
* seems that when we follow symlinks to units we prefer the symlink
|
||
destination path over /etc and /usr. We should not do that. Instead
|
||
/etc should always override /run+/usr and also any symlink
|
||
destination.
|
||
|
||
* when isolating, try to figure out a way how we implicitly can order
|
||
all units we stop before the isolating unit...
|
||
|
||
* teach ConditionKernelCommandLine= globs or regexes (in order to match foobar={no,0,off})
|
||
|
||
* BootLoaderSpec: Clarify that the kernel has to be in $BOOT. Clarify
|
||
that the boot loader should be installed to the ESP. Define a way
|
||
how an installer can figure out whether a BLS compliant boot loader
|
||
is installed.
|
||
|
||
* think about requeuing jobs when daemon-reload is issued? usecase:
|
||
the initrd issues a reload after fstab from the host is accessible
|
||
and we might want to requeue the mounts local-fs acquired through
|
||
that automatically.
|
||
|
||
* systemd-inhibit: make taking delay locks useful: support sending SIGINT or SIGTERM on PrepareForSleep()
|
||
|
||
* remove any syslog support from log.c -- we probably cannot do this before split-off udev is gone for good
|
||
|
||
* shutdown logging: store to EFI var, and store to USB stick?
|
||
|
||
* think about window-manager-run-as-user-service problem: exit 0 → activate shutdown.target; exit != 0 → restart service
|
||
|
||
* merge unit_kill_common() and unit_kill_context()
|
||
|
||
* introduce ExecCondition= in services
|
||
|
||
* EFI:
|
||
- honor language efi variables for default language selection (if there are any?)
|
||
- honor timezone efi variables for default timezone selection (if there are any?)
|
||
- change bootctl to be backed by systemd-bootd to control temporary and persistent default boot goal plus efi variables
|
||
|
||
* maybe do not install getty@tty1.service symlink in /etc but in /usr?
|
||
|
||
* print a nicer explanation if people use variable/specifier expansion in ExecStart= for the first word
|
||
|
||
* mount: turn dependency information from /proc/self/mountinfo into dependency information between systemd units.
|
||
|
||
* logind:
|
||
- logind: optionally, ignore idle-hint logic for autosuspend, block suspend as long as a session is around
|
||
- When we update the kernel all kind of hibernation should be prohibited until shutdown/reboot
|
||
- logind: wakelock/opportunistic suspend support
|
||
- Add pretty name for seats in logind
|
||
- logind: allow showing logout dialog from system?
|
||
- we should probably handle SIGTERM/SIGINT to not leave dot files around, just in case
|
||
- session scopes/user unit: add RequiresMountsFor for the home directory of the user
|
||
- add Suspend() bus calls which take timestamps to fix double suspend issues when somebody hits suspend and closes laptop quickly.
|
||
- if pam_systemd is invoked by su from a process that is outside of a
|
||
any session we should probably just become a NOP, since that's
|
||
usually not a real user session but just some system code that just
|
||
needs setuid().
|
||
- logind: make the Suspend()/Hibernate() bus calls wait for the for
|
||
the job to be completed. before returning, so that clients can wait
|
||
for "systemctl suspend" to finish to know when the suspending is
|
||
complete.
|
||
- logind: when the power button is pressed short, just popup a
|
||
logout dialog. If it is pressed for 1s, do the usual
|
||
shutdown. Inspiration are Macs here.
|
||
- expose "Locked" property on logind sesison objects
|
||
- given that logind now lets PID 1 do all nasty work, we can
|
||
probably reduce the capability set it retains substantially.
|
||
(we need CAP_SYS_ADMIN for drmSetMaster(), so maybe not worth it)
|
||
- expose orientation sensors and tablet mode through logind
|
||
- maybe allow configuration of the StopTimeout for session scopes
|
||
- rename session scope so that it includes the UID. THat way
|
||
the session scope can be arranged freely in slices and we don't have
|
||
make assumptions about their slice anymore.
|
||
- follow PropertiesChanged state more closely, to deal with quick logouts and
|
||
relogins
|
||
|
||
* exec: when deinitializating a tty device fix the perms and group, too, not only when initializing. Set access mode/gid to 0620/tty.
|
||
|
||
* service: watchdog logic: for testing purposes allow ping, but do not require pong
|
||
|
||
* journal:
|
||
- consider introducing implicit _TTY= + _PPID= + _EUID= + _EGID= + _FSUID= + _FSGID= fields
|
||
- import and delete pstore filesystem content at startup
|
||
- journald: also get thread ID from client, plus thread name
|
||
- journal: when waiting for journal additions in the client always sleep at least 1s or so, in order to minimize wakeups
|
||
- add API to close/reopen/get fd for journal client fd in libsystemd-journal.
|
||
- fallback to /dev/log based logging in libsystemd-journal, if we cannot log natively?
|
||
- declare the local journal protocol stable in the wiki interface chart
|
||
- sd-journal: speed up sd_journal_get_data() with transparent hash table in bg
|
||
- journald: when dropping msgs due to ratelimit make sure to write
|
||
"dropped %u messages" not only when we are about to print the next
|
||
message that works, but alraedy after a short tiemout
|
||
- check if we can make journalctl by default use --follow mode inside of less if called without args?
|
||
- maybe add API to send pairs of iovecs via sd_journal_send
|
||
- journal: when writing journal auto-rotate if time jumps backwards
|
||
- journal: add a setgid "systemd-journal" utility to invoke from libsystemd-journal, which passes fds via STDOUT and does PK access
|
||
- journactl: support negative filtering, i.e. FOOBAR!="waldo",
|
||
and !FOOBAR for events without FOOBAR.
|
||
- journal: store timestamp of journal_file_set_offline() int he header,
|
||
so it is possible to display when the file was last synced.
|
||
- journal-send.c, log.c: when the log socket is clogged, and we drop, count this and write a message about this when it gets unclogged again.
|
||
- journal: find a way to allow dropping history early, based on priority, other rules
|
||
- journal: When used on NFS, check payload hashes
|
||
- journald: add kernel cmdline option to disable ratelimiting for debug purposes
|
||
- refuse taking lower-case variable names in sd_journal_send() and friends.
|
||
- journald: we currently rotate only after MaxUse+MaxFilesize has been reached.
|
||
- journal: deal nicely with byte-by-byte copied files, especially regards header
|
||
- journal: sanely deal with entries which are larger than the individual file size, but where the components would fit
|
||
- Replace utmp, wtmp, btmp, and lastlog completely with journal
|
||
- journalctl: instead --after-cursor= maybe have a --cursor=XYZ+1 syntax?
|
||
- when a kernel driver logs in a tight loop, we should ratelimit that too.
|
||
- journald: optionally, log debug messages to /run but everything else to /var
|
||
- journald: when we drop syslog messages because the syslog socket is
|
||
full, make sure to write how many messages are lost as first thing
|
||
to syslog when it works again.
|
||
- journald: make sure ratelimit is actually really per-service with the new cgroup changes
|
||
- change systemd-journal-flush into a service that stays around during
|
||
boot, and causes the journal to be moved back to /run on shutdown,
|
||
so that we do not keep /var busy. This needs to happen synchronously,
|
||
hence doing this via signals is not going to work.
|
||
- optionally support running journald from the command line for testing purposes in external projects
|
||
- journald: allow per-priority and per-service retention times when rotating/vacuuming
|
||
- journald: make use of uid-range.h to managed uid ranges to split
|
||
journals in.
|
||
- journalctl: add the ability to look for the most recent process of a binary. journalctl /usr/bin/X11 --pid=-1 or so...
|
||
- improve journalctl performance by loading journal files
|
||
lazily. Encode just enough information in the file name, so that we
|
||
do not have to open it to know that it is not interesting for us, for
|
||
the most common operations.
|
||
- journal-or-kmsg is currently broken? See reverted
|
||
commit 4a01181e460686d8b4a543b1dfa7f77c9e3c5ab8.
|
||
- man: document that corrupted journal files is nothing to act on
|
||
- systemd-journal-upload (or a new, related tool): allow pushing out
|
||
journal messages onto the network in BSD syslog protocol,
|
||
continuously. Default to some link-local IP mcast group, to make this
|
||
useful as a one-stop debugging tool.
|
||
- rework journald sigbus stuff to use mutex
|
||
- Set RLIMIT_NPROC for systemd-journal-xyz, and all other of our
|
||
services that run under their own user ids, and use User= (but only
|
||
in a world where userns is ubiquitous since otherwise we cannot
|
||
invoke those daemons on the host AND in a container anymore). Also,
|
||
if LimitNPROC= is used without User= we should warn and refuse
|
||
operation.
|
||
- journalctl --verify: don't show files that are currently being
|
||
written to as FAIL, but instead show that their are being written to.
|
||
- add journalctl -H that talks via ssh to a remote peer and passes through
|
||
binary logs data
|
||
- change journalctl -M to acquire fd to journal directory via machined, and
|
||
then operate on that via openat() instead of absolute paths
|
||
- add a version of --merge which also merges /var/log/journal/remote
|
||
- log accumulated resource usage after each service invocation
|
||
- journalctl: -m should access container journals directly by enumerating
|
||
them via machined, and also watch containers coming and going.
|
||
Benefit: nspawn --ephemeral would start working nicely with the journal.
|
||
- assign MESSAGE_ID to log messages about failed services
|
||
|
||
* document:
|
||
- document that deps in [Unit] sections ignore Alias= fields in
|
||
[Install] units of other units, unless those units are disabled
|
||
- man: clarify that time-sync.target is not only sysv compat but also useful otherwise. Same for similar targets
|
||
- document the exit codes when services fail before they are exec()ed
|
||
- document that service reload may be implemented as service reexec
|
||
- document in wiki how to map ical recurrence events to systemd timer unit calendar specifications
|
||
- add a man page containing packaging guidelines and recommending usage of things like Documentation=, PrivateTmp=, PrivateNetwork= and ReadOnlyDirectories=/etc /usr.
|
||
- document systemd-journal-flush.service properly
|
||
- documentation: recommend to connect the timer units of a service to the service via Also= in [Install]
|
||
- man: document the very specific env the shutdown drop-in tools live in
|
||
- man: add more examples to man pages
|
||
- man: maybe sort directives in man pages, and take sections from --help and apply them to man too
|
||
|
||
* systemctl:
|
||
- systemctl list-jobs - show dependencies
|
||
- add systemctl switch to dump transaction without executing it
|
||
- Add a verbose mode to "systemctl start" and friends that explains what is being done or not done
|
||
- "systemctl disable" on a static unit prints no message and does
|
||
nothing. "systemctl enable" does nothing, and gives a bad message
|
||
about it. Should fix both to print nice actionable messages.
|
||
- print nice message from systemctl --failed if there are no entries shown, and hook that into ExecStartPre of rescue.service/emergency.service
|
||
- add new command to systemctl: "systemctl system-reexec" which reexecs as many daemons as virtually possible
|
||
- systemctl enable: fail if target to alias into does not exist? maybe show how many units are enabled afterwards?
|
||
- systemctl: "Journal has been rotated since unit was started." message is misleading
|
||
- better error message if you run systemctl without systemd running
|
||
- systemctl status output should should include list of triggering units and their status
|
||
|
||
* unit install:
|
||
- "systemctl mask" should find all names by which a unit is accessible
|
||
(i.e. by scanning for symlinks to it) and link them all to /dev/null
|
||
- systemctl list-unit-files should list generated files (and probably with a new state "generated" for them, or so)
|
||
|
||
* timer units:
|
||
- timer units should get the ability to trigger when:
|
||
o CLOCK_REALTIME makes jumps (TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)
|
||
o DST changes
|
||
- Support 2012-02~4 as syntax for specifying the fourth to last day of the month.
|
||
- calendarspec: support value ranges with ".." notation. Example: 2013-4..8-1
|
||
- Modulate timer frequency based on battery state
|
||
|
||
* add libsystemd-password or so to query passwords during boot using the password agent logic
|
||
|
||
* clean up date formatting and parsing so that all absolute/relative timestamps we format can also be parsed
|
||
|
||
* on shutdown: move utmp, wall, audit logic all into PID 1 (or logind?), get rid of systemd-update-utmp-runlevel
|
||
|
||
* make repeated alt-ctrl-del presses printing a dump, or even force a reboot without
|
||
waiting for the timeout
|
||
|
||
* hostnamed: before returning information from /etc/machine-info.conf check the modification data and reread. Similar for localed, ...
|
||
|
||
* currently x-systemd.timeout is lost in the initrd, since crypttab is copied into dracut, but fstab is not
|
||
|
||
* nspawn:
|
||
- to allow "linking" of nspawn containers, extend --network-bridge= so
|
||
that it can dynamically create bridge interfaces that are refcounted
|
||
by the containers on them. For each group of containers to link together
|
||
- refuses to boot containers without /etc/machine-id (OK?), and with empty
|
||
/etc/machine-id (not OK).
|
||
- nspawn -x should support ephemeral instances of gpt images
|
||
- emulate /dev/kmsg using CUSE and turn off the syslog syscall
|
||
with seccomp. That should provide us with a useful log buffer that
|
||
systemd can log to during early boot, and disconnect container logs
|
||
from the kernel's logs.
|
||
- as soon as networkd has a bus interface, hook up --network-interface=,
|
||
--network-bridge= with networkd, to trigger netdev creation should an
|
||
interface be missing
|
||
- don't copy /etc/resolv.conf from host into container unless we are in
|
||
shared-network mode
|
||
- a nice way to boot up without machine id set, so that it is set at boot
|
||
automatically for supporting --ephemeral. Maybe hash the host machine id
|
||
together with the machine name to generate the machine id for the container
|
||
- fix logic always print a final newline on output.
|
||
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/272#issuecomment-113153176
|
||
- should optionally support receiving WATCHDOG=1 messages from its payload
|
||
PID 1...
|
||
- should send out sd_notify("WATCHDOG=1") messages
|
||
- optionally automatically add FORWARD rules to iptables whenever nspawn is
|
||
running, remove them when shut down.
|
||
- add a logic for cleaning up read-only, hidden container images in
|
||
/var/lib/machines that are not ancestors of any non-hidden containers
|
||
- Improve error message when --bind= is used on a non-existing source
|
||
directory
|
||
- maybe make copying of /etc/resolv.conf optional, and skip it if --read-only
|
||
is used
|
||
|
||
* machined:
|
||
- "machinectl list" should probably show columns for OS version and IP
|
||
addresses
|
||
- add an API so that libvirt-lxc can inform us about network interfaces being
|
||
removed or added to an existing machine
|
||
- "machinectl migrate" or similar to copy a container from or to a
|
||
difference host, via ssh
|
||
- introduce systemd-nspawn-ephemeral@.service, and hook it into
|
||
"machinectl start" with a new --ephemeral switch
|
||
- "machinectl status" should also show internal logs of the container in
|
||
question
|
||
- "machinectl list-images" should show os-release data, as well as
|
||
machine-info data (including deployment level)
|
||
- "machinectl history"
|
||
- "machinectl diff"
|
||
- "machinectl commit" that takes a writable snapshot of a tree, invokes a
|
||
shell in it, and marks it read-only after use
|
||
|
||
* importd:
|
||
- generate a nice warning if mkfs.btrfs is missing
|
||
|
||
* cryptsetup:
|
||
- cryptsetup-generator: allow specification of passwords in crypttab itself
|
||
- move cryptsetup key caching into kernel keyctl?
|
||
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54982
|
||
- support rd.luks.allow-discards= kernel cmdline params in cryptsetup generator
|
||
|
||
* hw watchdog: optionally try to use the preset watchdog timeout instead of always overriding it
|
||
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54712
|
||
|
||
* create /sbin/init symlinks from the build system
|
||
|
||
* MountFlags=shared acts as MountFlags=slave right now.
|
||
|
||
* properly handle loop back mounts via fstab, especially regards to fsck/passno
|
||
|
||
* initialize the hostname from the fs label of /, if /etc/hostname does not exist?
|
||
|
||
* rename "userspace" to "core-os"
|
||
|
||
* udev:
|
||
- move to LGPL
|
||
- kill scsi_id
|
||
- add trigger --subsystem-match=usb/usb_device device
|
||
- reimport udev db after MOVE events for devices without dev_t
|
||
|
||
* when a service has the same env var set twice we actually store it twice and return that in systemctl show -p... We should only show the last setting
|
||
|
||
* There's currently no way to cancel fsck (used to be possible via C-c or c on the console)
|
||
|
||
* add option to sockets to avoid activation. Instead just drop packets/connections, see http://cyberelk.net/tim/2012/02/15/portreserve-systemd-solution/
|
||
|
||
* coredump:
|
||
- save coredump in Windows/Mozilla minidump format
|
||
- move PID 1 segfaults to /var/lib/systemd/coredump?
|
||
- make the handler check /proc/$PID/rlimits for RLIMIT_CORE,
|
||
and supress coredump if turned off. Then change RLIMIT_CORE to
|
||
infinity by default for all services. This then allows per-service
|
||
control of coredumping.
|
||
|
||
* support crash reporting operation modes (https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/ProblemReporting)
|
||
|
||
* default to actual 32-bit PIDs, via /proc/sys/kernel/pid_max
|
||
|
||
* be able to specify a forced restart of service A where service B depends on, in case B
|
||
needs to be auto-respawned?
|
||
|
||
* tmpfiles:
|
||
- apply "x" on "D" too (see patch from William Douglas)
|
||
- replace F with f+.
|
||
- instead of ignoring unknown fields, reject them.
|
||
- creating new directories/subvolumes/fifos/device nodes
|
||
should not follow symlinks. None of the other adjustment or creation
|
||
calls follow symlinks.
|
||
|
||
* make sure systemd-ask-password-wall does not shutdown systemd-ask-password-console too early
|
||
|
||
* verify that the AF_UNIX sockets of a service in the fs still exist
|
||
when we start a service in order to avoid confusion when a user
|
||
assumes starting a service is enough to make it accessible
|
||
|
||
* Make it possible to set the keymap independently from the font on
|
||
the kernel cmdline. Right now setting one resets also the other.
|
||
|
||
* and a dbus call to generate target from current state
|
||
|
||
* write blog stories about:
|
||
- hwdb: what belongs into it, lsusb
|
||
- enabling dbus services
|
||
- status update
|
||
- how to make changes to sysctl and sysfs attributes
|
||
- remote access
|
||
- how to pass throw-away units to systemd, or dynamically change properties of existing units
|
||
- testing with Harald's awesome test kit
|
||
- auto-restart
|
||
- how to develop against journal browsing APIs
|
||
- the journal HTTP iface
|
||
- non-cgroup resource management
|
||
- dynamic resource management with cgroups
|
||
- refreshed, longer missions statement
|
||
- calendar time events
|
||
- init=/bin/sh vs. "emergency" mode, vs. "rescue" mode, vs. "multi-user" mode, vs. "graphical" mode, and the debug shell
|
||
- how to create your own target
|
||
- instantiated apache, dovecot and so on
|
||
- hooking a script into various stages of shutdown/rearly booot
|
||
|
||
* investigate whether the gnome pty helper should be moved into systemd, to provide cgroup support.
|
||
|
||
* dot output for --test showing the 'initial transaction'
|
||
|
||
* fingerprint.target, wireless.target, gps.target, netdevice.target
|
||
|
||
* pid1:
|
||
- .timer units should optionally support CLOCK_BOOTTIME in addition to CLOCK_MONOTONIC
|
||
- When logging about multiple units (stopping BoundTo units, conflicts, etc.),
|
||
log both units as UNIT=, so that journalctl -u triggers on both.
|
||
- generate better errors when people try to set transient properties
|
||
that are not supported...
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-February/028076.html
|
||
- maybe introduce WantsMountsFor=? Usecase:
|
||
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2015-January/027729.html
|
||
- recreate systemd's D-Bus private socket file on SIGUSR2
|
||
- GC unreferenced jobs (such as .device jobs)
|
||
- move PAM code into its own binary
|
||
- when we automatically restart a service, ensure we restart its rdeps, too.
|
||
- for services: do not set $HOME in services unless requested
|
||
- hide PAM options in fragment parser when compile time disabled
|
||
- Support --test based on current system state
|
||
- 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().
|
||
- after deserializing sockets in socket.c we should reapply sockopts and things
|
||
- drop PID 1 reloading, only do reexecing (difficult: Reload()
|
||
currently is properly synchronous, Reexec() is weird, because we
|
||
cannot delay the response properly until we are back, so instead of
|
||
being properly synchronous we just keep open the fd and close it
|
||
when done. That means clients do not get a successful method reply,
|
||
but much rather a disconnect on success.
|
||
- when breaking cycles drop sysv services first, then services from /run, then from /etc, then from /usr
|
||
- when a bus name of a service disappears from the bus make sure to queue further activation requests
|
||
|
||
* unit files:
|
||
- allow port=0 in .socket units
|
||
- maybe introduce ExecRestartPre=
|
||
- add ReloadSignal= for configuring a reload signal to use
|
||
- implement Register= switch in .socket units to enable registration
|
||
in Avahi, RPC and other socket registration services.
|
||
- allow Type=simple with PIDFile=
|
||
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=723942
|
||
- allow writing multiple conditions in unit files on one line
|
||
- load-fragment: when loading a unit file via a chain of symlinks
|
||
verify that it is not masked via any of the names traversed.
|
||
- introduce Type=pid-file
|
||
- ExecOnFailure=/usr/bin/foo
|
||
- introduce mix of BindTo and Requisite
|
||
- add a concept of RemainAfterExit= to scope units
|
||
- Set NoNewPrivileges= on all of our own services, where that makes sense
|
||
- Allow multiple ExecStart= for all Type= settings, so that we can cover rescue.service nicely
|
||
- consider adding RuntimeDirectoryUser= + RuntimeDirectoryGroup=
|
||
|
||
* systemd-python:
|
||
- figure out a simple way to wait for journal events in a way that
|
||
works with ^C
|
||
- add documentation to systemd.daemon
|
||
|
||
* bootchart:
|
||
- plot per-process IO utilization
|
||
- group processes based on service association (cgroups)
|
||
- document initcall_debug
|
||
- kernel cmdline "bootchart" option for simplicity?
|
||
|
||
* udev-link-config:
|
||
- Make sure ID_PATH is always exported and complete for
|
||
network devices where possible, so we can safely rely
|
||
on Path= matching
|
||
- check MTUBytes parsing (expecting size_t but we are using unsigned)
|
||
|
||
* sd-rtnl:
|
||
- add support for more attribute types
|
||
- inbuilt piping support (essentially degenerate async)? see loopback-setup.c and other places
|
||
|
||
* networkd:
|
||
- add more keys to [Route] and [Address] sections
|
||
- add support for more DHCPv4 options (and, longer term, other kinds of dynamic config)
|
||
- add proper initrd support (in particular generate .network/.link files based on /proc/cmdline)
|
||
- add reduced [Link] support to .network files
|
||
- add Scope= parsing option for [Network]
|
||
- properly handle routerless dhcp leases
|
||
- add more attribute support for SIT tunnel
|
||
- work with non-Ethernet devices
|
||
- add support for more bond options
|
||
- dhcp: do we allow configuring dhcp routes on interfaces that are not the one we got the dhcp info from?
|
||
- add LLDP client side support
|
||
- the DHCP lease data (such as NTP/DNS) is still made available when
|
||
a carrier is lost on a link. It should be removed instantly.
|
||
- expose in the API the following bits:
|
||
- option 15, domain name and/or option 119, search list
|
||
- option 12, host name and/or option 81, fqdn
|
||
- option 123, 144, geolocation
|
||
- option 252, configure http proxy (PAC/wpad)
|
||
- provide a way to define a per-network interface default metric value
|
||
for all routes to it. possibly a second default for DHCP routes.
|
||
- allow Name= to be specified repeatedly in the [Match] section. Maybe also
|
||
support Name=foo*|bar*|baz ?
|
||
- duplicate address check for static IPs (like ARPCHECK in network-scripts)
|
||
- allow DUID/IAID to be customized, see issue #394.
|
||
- support configuration option for TSO (tcp segmentation offload)
|
||
- whenever uplink info changes, make DHCP server send out FORCERENEW
|
||
|
||
* networkd-wait-online:
|
||
- make operstates to wait for configurable?
|
||
|
||
* dhcp:
|
||
- figure out how much we can increase Maximum Message Size
|
||
- support RFC4702 (pass FQDN)
|
||
|
||
* dhcp6:
|
||
- add functions to set previously stored IPv6 addresses on startup and get
|
||
them at shutdown; store them in client->ia_na
|
||
- write more test cases
|
||
- implement reconfigure support, see 5.3., 15.11. and 22.20.
|
||
- implement support for temporary adressess (IA_TA)
|
||
- implement dhcpv6 authentication
|
||
- investigate the usefulness of Confirm messages; i.e. are there any
|
||
situations where the link changes without any loss in carrier detection
|
||
or interface down
|
||
- some servers don't do rapid commit without a filled in IA_NA, verify
|
||
this behavior
|
||
|
||
External:
|
||
|
||
* dbus:
|
||
- natively watch for dbus-*.service symlinks (PENDING)
|
||
- teach dbus to activate all services it finds in /etc/systemd/services/org-*.service
|
||
|
||
* fix alsa mixer restore to not print error when no config is stored
|
||
|
||
* make cryptsetup lower --iter-time
|
||
|
||
* patch kernel for xattr support in /dev, /proc/, /sys?
|
||
|
||
* kernel: add device_type = "fb", "fbcon" to class "graphics"
|
||
|
||
* drop accountsservice's StandardOutput=syslog and Type=dbus fields
|
||
|
||
* dbus: in fedora, make /var/lib/dbus/machine-id a symlink to /etc/machine-id
|
||
|
||
* /usr/bin/service should actually show the new command line
|
||
|
||
* fedora: suggest auto-restart on failure, but not on success and not on coredump. also, ask people to think about changing the start limit logic. Also point people to RestartPreventExitStatus=, SuccessExitStatus=
|
||
|
||
* fedora: F20: go timer units all the way, leave cron.daily for cron
|
||
|
||
* neither pkexec nor sudo initialize environ[] from the PAM environment?
|
||
|
||
* fedora: update policy to declare access mode and ownership of unit files to root:root 0644, and add an rpmlint check for it
|
||
|
||
* register catalog database signature as file magic
|
||
|
||
* zsh shell completion:
|
||
- <command> <verb> -<TAB> should complete options, but currently does not
|
||
- systemctl add-wants,add-requires
|
||
|
||
|
||
Regularly:
|
||
|
||
