bumped version of golang it is compiled with to go1.18, which introduced significant changes to its garbage collection algorithm. As a result, we observed an increase in memory usage for kube-apiserver in larger an heavily loaded clusters up to ~25% (with the benefit of API call latencies drop by up to 10x on 99th percentiles). If the memory increase is not acceptable for you you can mitigate by setting GOGC env variable (for our tests using GOGC=63 brings memory usage back to original value, although...

- Improve func `ToSelectableFields`' performance for event. ([#102461](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/102461), [@goodluckbot](https://github.com/goodluckbot))
- Increased `CSINodeIDMaxLength` from 128 bytes to 192 bytes. Prepare to increase the length limit to 256 bytes in 1.23 release. ([#101256](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/101256), [@Jiawei0227](https://github.com/Jiawei0227))

- Scheduler now skips the `NodeAffinity Score` plugin when it has nothing to do with a Pod. You might have noticed an increase in the metric `plugin_execution_duration_seconds` for `extension_point=score` and `plugin=NodeAffinity`, because the plugin only runs when it's relevant.
