Description IBM Bug Proxy 2024-01-30 05:40:17 UTC
Comment 1 IBM Bug Proxy 2024-01-30 05:40:29 UTC 
== Comment: #0 - Anushree Mathur <Anushree.Mathur2> - 2024-01-29 03:06:30 ==
ENV:
HOST OS : Fedora38
Architecture : ppc64-LE
kernel : i) 6.8.0-rc2 (Upstream kernel)
         ii) 6.6.13-200.fc39.ppc64le (Latest fedora kernel)

uname --processor command is not giving the expected output! I have tried with upstream kernel and fedora kernel both. It is broken from Fedora38 and above!

Steps to reproduce:
1) uname --processor

Expected output:
ppc64le

Actual output:
unknown

It is working fine with coreutils-9.1-7.fc37.ppc64le but broken from coreutils-9.1-12.fc38.ppc64le and above.

This seems to be yet another duplicate of bug #2126206.  Please use `uname -m` to print hardware class.

With uname -m i am getting the output:

root# uname -m
Comment 4 Lukáš Zaoral 2024-01-30 09:36:29 UTC 
Is this the whole output you got from `uname -m`?  It seems to be cut-off.

Anyway, `uname -p` and `uname -i` are purely informative and should not be used for any serious decision making.  Please reopen the bug if `uname -m` does not work for you.
