Take a look at the help in init/Kconfig under IKCONFIG_PROC: config IKCONFIG_PROC bool "Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz" depends on IKCONFIG && PROC_FS help This option enables access to the kernel configuration file through /proc/config.gz. Therefore, make sure CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC is set to true: $ more .config ... CONFIG_IKCONFIG=y CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC=y ...
