I don't know how uname is implemented in Linux, but according to POSIX, the -m option gives the hardware. The -a option specifies several options, including the -m. So it should give the hardware, and not the software http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/uname.html But I don't know if that's the case in practice. Linux is not Unix.
