- Update default API priority-and-fairness config to avoid endpoint/configmaps operations from controller-manager to all match leader-election priority level. ([#106725](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/106725), [@wojtek-t](https://github.com/wojtek-t)) [SIG API Machinery]

### Feature

- A new Priority and Fairness metric 'apiserver_flowcontrol_work_estimate_seats_samples' has been 

- Update kube-apiserver's priority & fairness work estimator such that 'max seats' is MIN(0.15 x nominalCL, nominalCL / handSize)
  

- Update kube-apiserver's priority & fairness work estimator such that 'max seats' is MIN(0.15 x nominalCL, nominalCL / handSize)
  

  * New SchedulerExtender enables users to implement custom
out-of-(the-scheduler)-process scheduling predicates and priority functions,
for example to schedule pods based on resources that are not directly managed

* Kubelet won't evict a static pod with priority `system-node-critical` upon resource pressure. ([#74222](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/74222), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

- Fixed a scheduler racing issue to ensure low priority pods are unschedulable on the node(s) where high priority pods have `NominatedNodeName` set to the node(s).  ([#77990](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/77990), [@Huang-Wei](https://github.com/Huang-Wei))

### API Change

- We have added a new Priority & Fairness rule that exempts all probes (/readyz, /healthz, /livez) to prevent 

- Changed Linux swap handling to restrict access to swap for containers in high priority Pods.
  New Pods that have a node- or cluster-critical priority are prohibited from accessing swap on Linux,
