* `tf.data`
    * Add optional `synchronous` argument to `map`, to specify that the `map` should run synchronously, as opposed to be parallelizable when `options.experimental_optimization.map_parallelization=True`. This saves memory compared to setting `num_parallel_calls=1`.

* Ensures the conformance test image saves results before exiting when ginkgo returns non-zero value. ([#76039](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/76039), [@johnSchnake](https://github.com/johnSchnake))

       * Accordingly, we have it annotated as returning `Enumeration<? extends Object>` in our
       * prototype checker's JDK. However, the checker still sees the return type as plain
       * `Enumeration<?>`, probably because of one of the following two bugs (and maybe those two
       * bugs are themselves just symptoms of the same underlying problem):

- Sped up kubelet start time by executing an immediate runtime and node status update when the Kubelet sees that it has a CIDR. ([#67031](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/67031), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

- kubeadm: removed the deprecated flag `--experimental-output`, please use the flag `--output` instead that serves the same purpose. Affected commands are: `kubeadm config images list`, `kubeadm token list`, `kubeadm upgrade plan`, `kubeadm certs check-expiration`.

- Reduce the number of calls to docker for stats via dockershim. For Windows this reduces the latency when calling docker, for Linux this saves cpu cycles. ([#104287](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/104287), [@jsturtevant](https://github.com/jsturtevant)) [SIG Node and Windows]
