The keyctl_dh_params struct in uapi/linux/keyctl.h contains the symbol "private" which means that the header file will cause compilation failure if #included in to a C++ program. Further, the patch that added the same struct to the keyutils package named the symbol "priv", not "private".
The previous attempt to fix this (commit 8a2336e549d3) did so by simply renaming the kernel's copy of the field to dh_private, but this then breaks existing userspace and as such has to be reverted (which is done by the preceding patch).
[And note, to those who think that wrapping the struct in extern "C" {} will work: it won't; that only changes how symbol names are presented to the assembler and linker.].
Instead, insert an anonymous union around the "private" member and add a second member in there with the name "priv" to match the one in the keyutils package. The "private" member is then wrapped in !__cplusplus cpp-conditionals to hide it from C++.
