- kubeadm: treat non-fatal errors as warnings when doing reset ([#80862](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/80862), [@drpaneas](https://github.com/drpaneas))
- kubeadm: prevent PSP blocking of upgrade image prepull by using a non-root user ([#77792](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77792), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))

- Fixed a bug where the kubelet ephemerally failed with `failed to initialize top level QOS containers: root container [kubepods] doesn't exist`, due to the cpuset cgroup being deleted on cgroup v2 with systemd cgroup manager.

- Kubeadm: warn but do not error out on missing "ca.key" files for root CA, front-proxy CA and etcd CA, during "kubeadm join --control-plane" if the user has provided all certificates, keys and kubeconfig files which require signing with the given CA keys.

* Fix broken detection of non-root image user ID ([#78261](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78261), [@tallclair](https://github.com/tallclair))

* If a non-absolute mountPath is passed to the kubelet, prefix it with the appropriate root path. ([#55665](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55665), [@brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))

    *   If a non-absolute mountPath is passed to the kubelet, it must now be prefixed with the appropriate root path. ([#55665](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/55665),[ @brendandburns](https://github.com/brendandburns))
