      .`pass:uname` command produces an unknown output

      The uname command displays unknown output with flags `pass:--hardware-platform` and `pass:--processor`. In the previous RHEL versions, `pass:uname -i` and `pass:uname -p` were aliases for `pass:uname -m` and are not portable even across GNU/Linux distributions.

      As a workaround, you can use the `pass:-m` flag instead of the `pass:-i` and `pass:-p` flags.

      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      On an x86_64 system the uname commands below print 'unknown' to stdout. However, the '-m' flag will print 'x86_64'

      $ uname -i
      unknown
      $ uname -p
      unknown$ uname -m
      x86_64

      What is the impact of this issue to you? Tools that rely on the output will not work.

      How reproducible is this bug?: Easy to reproduce

      Steps to reproduce

      1. Install RHEL 10 beta from x86_64 DVD iso
      2. Coreutils package version: coreutils-9.5-5.el10.x86_64

      Expected results

      $ uname -ip
      x86_64 x86_64

      Actual results

      $ uname -ip
      unknown unknown
