+- Issue #27278: Fix os.urandom() implementation using getrandom() on Linux.
+  Truncate size to INT_MAX and loop until we collected enough random bytes,
+  instead of casting a directly Py_ssize_t to int.
+
 - Issue #16864: sqlite3.Cursor.lastrowid now supports REPLACE statement.
   Initial patch by Alex LordThorsen.
