- Faster mount detection for linux kernel 5.10+ using openat2 speeding up pod churn rates. On Kernel versions less 5.10, it will fallback to using the original way of detecting mount points i.e by parsing /proc/mounts.

  When the feature gate is enabled, kubelet ignores errors that happens during setting the following sysctl values: `vm.overcommit_memory`, `vm.panic_on_oom`, `kernel.panic`, `kernel.panic_on_oops`, `kernel.keys.root_maxkeys`, `kernel.keys.root_maxbytes`. (These sysctl values for the host, not for the containers)
  
  kubelet also ignores an error during opening `/dev/kmsg`.

    * Add hugepages monitoring support
    * Fix incorrect CPU usage metrics with 4.7 kernel
    * Add tmpfs monitoring support
* Support for Huge pages in empty_dir volume plugin ([#50072](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/50072), [@squall0gd](https://github.com/squall0gd))
    * [Huge pages](https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/vm/hugetlbpage.txt) can now be used with empty dir volume plugin.

- Add `/sys/devices/virtual/powercap` to default masked paths. It avoids the potential security risk that the ability to read these files may offer a power-based sidechannel attack against any workloads running on the same kernel.

- Fix a bug that Pods could stuck in the unschedulable pod pool 

  
  Enabling seccomp for your workload can have a negative performance impact depending on the kernel and container runtime version in use.

- The (alpha) nftables mode of kube-proxy now requires version 1.0.1 or later
  of the nft command-line, and kernel 5.13 or later. (For testing/development
  purposes, you can use older kernels, as far back as 5.4, if you set the
  `nftables.skipKernelVersionCheck` option in the kube-proxy config, but this is not
