+Starting with runc 1.0.0-rc93, the "selinux" and "apparmor" buildtags have been

+By default, runc is compiled with kernel-memory limiting support enabled. This
+functionality is deprecated in kernel 5.4 and up, and is known to be broken on
+RHEL7 and CentOS 7 3.10 kernels. For these kernels, we recommend disabling kmem
+support using the `nokmem` build-tag. When doing so, be sure to set the `seccomp`
+build-tag to enable seccomp support, for example:
+
+```sh
+make BUILDTAGS='nokmem seccomp' && make install
 ```
 
+For details about the `nokmem` build-tag, refer to [opencontainers/runc#2594](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/pull/2594).
+For further details on building runc, refer to the [build instructions in the runc README](https://github.com/opencontainers/runc#building).

 After an official runc release we will start pinning containerd support to a specific version but various development and testing features may require a newer runc version than the latest release.  If you encounter any runtime errors, please make sure your runc is in sync with the commit/tag provided in this document.
