For an actual running kernel, the only way to get the config file this is to

cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > running.config

or to just view zcat /proc/config.gz | less

Then running.config will be the configuration of the running linux kernel.

However this is only possible if your running linux kernel was configured to have /proc/config.gz. The configuration for this is found in

• General setup
  • [*] Kernel .config support
    • [*] Enable access to .config through /proc/config.gz

Most distros don't have this configuration set. They provide kernel config files in their kernel packages and is usually found in /boot/ directory

For an actual running kernel, one way to get the config file this is to

cat /proc/config.gz | gunzip > running.config

or,

zcat /proc/config.gz > running.config

Then running.config will contain the configuration of the running linux kernel.
