From Kconfig:

CONFIG_IKCONFIG:

│
│ This option enables the complete Linux kernel ".config"
file
│
│ contents to be saved in the kernel. It provides
documentation
│
│ of which kernel options are used in a running kernel or in
an
│
│ on-disk kernel. This information can be extracted from the
kernel
│
│ image file with the script scripts/extract-ikconfig and used
as
│
│ input to rebuild the current kernel or to build another
kernel.
│
│ It can also be extracted from a running kernel by
reading
│
│ /proc/config.gz if enabled
(below).
