I see this on the Internet: General Setup  --->    <*/M> Kernel .config support        [*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gzBut can't understand what's that mean?I have an arm-based board(NanoPi-M1 with Allwinner H3 sun8iw7p1 SoC) that has Debian Jessie OS, and I have no config.gz file in /proc directory. I only have config-3.4.39-h3.new file in /boot directory that it is an empty file!I added modules=configs in /etc/modules file and reboot my system but had no sense!How can I access to kernel configuration?
How to enable access to the kernel config file through /proc/config.gz?

I see this on the Internet:It specifies the location in Linux's menuconfig from where you can enable /proc/config.gz. You must recompile the Linux kernel to do this. On an ARM-based board this may not be mainline Linux but a different tree specific to the SoC used on the ARM board.So, the steps would be:Figure out which SoC you have on the boardFigure out where to obtain the Linux kernel tree ported to that SoCObtain and compile the Linux kernel, enabling the /proc/config.gz optionInstall modules, register the newly-compiled kernel with the bootloader, and reboot
