- Client-go: improved allocation behavior of the delaying workqueue when handling objects with far-future ready times. ([#83945](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83945), [@barkbay](https://github.com/barkbay))

* Fixes a goroutine leak in kube-apiserver when a request times out. ([#83333](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/83333), [@lavalamp](https://github.com/lavalamp))

### Feature

- Kubeadm: generate CA certificates with a start time that is offset 5 minutes in the past relative to the current system time to workaround cases of clock desync.

  * Renamed Kubelet metric certificate_manager_server_expiration_seconds to certificate_manager_server_ttl_seconds and changed to report the second until expiration at read time rather than absolute time of expiry. 
  * Improved accuracy of Kubelet metric rest_client_exec_plugin_ttl_seconds.

After its deprecation in v1.20, the dockershim component has been removed from the kubelet.
From v1.24 onwards, you will need to either use one of the other [supported runtimes](https://kubernetes.io/docs/setup/production-environment/container-runtimes/) (such as containerd or CRI-O)
or use cri-dockerd if you are relying on Docker Engine as your container runtime.

- Fixed the reporting of elapsed times during evaluation of `ValidatingAdmissionPolicy` decisions and annotations. The apiserver_validating_admission_policy_check_duration metrics will now show elapsed times and no longer be zero.
