- A new kubelet command line option, `--reserved-cpus`, is introduced to explicitly define the CPU list that will be reserved for system. For example, if `--reserved-cpus=0,1,2,3` is specified, then cpu 0,1,2,3 will be reserved for the system.  On a system with 24 CPUs, the user may specify `isolcpus=4-23` for the kernel option and use CPU 4-23 for the user containers. ([#83592](https://github.com/kubernet...

<p>
Note that the prohibition on introducing data races
does not apply if the compiler can prove that the races
do not affect correct execution on the target platform.
For example, on essentially all CPUs, it is valid to rewrite

<pre>
n := 0
for i := 0; i < m; i++ {
	n += *shared
}
</pre>

into:

<pre>
n := 0
local := *shared
for i := 0; i < m; i++ {
	n += local

- Add a new `distribute-cpus-across-numa` option to the static `CPUManager` policy. When enabled, this will trigger the `CPUManager` to evenly distribute CPUs across NUMA nodes in cases where more than one NUMA node is required to satisfy the allocation.

- User can choose a different static policy option `SpreadPhysicalCPUsPreferredOption` to spread cpus across physical cpus for some specific applications ([#123733](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123733), [@Jeffwan](https://github.com/Jeffwan)) [SIG Node]
