- Removed a warning around Linux user namespaces and kernel version. If the feature gate `UserNamespacesSupport` was enabled, the kubelet previously warned when detecting a Linux kernel version earlier than 6.3.0. User namespace support on Linux typically does still need kernel 6.3 or newer, but it can work in older kernels too.

* Flag gate faster evictions based on node memory pressure using kernel memcg
  notifications - `--experimental-kernel-memcg-notification`.

  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`.

- 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.

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

    * 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.
