You want the /usr/src/<linux-version>/.config file used to build your
kernel. If this file doesn't exist, it will be copied from
/usr/src/<linux-version>/arch/<arch>/defconfig as an initial step in
building a new kernel. The above is true of all Linux distributions.
Various distributions store the .config file used to build distribution
kernel images in different files, although /boot is often used as can be
seen in the following examples:
Debian: /boot/config-<version>
Red Hat: /boot/config-<version>
/usr/src/linux-<version>/configs/kernel-*
Slack: /boot/config
SuSE: /boot/vmlinuz.config
