I assume you're talking about CONFIG_USER_NS, as per subject.

Have you tried using the search feature within `make menuconfig`?

Run `make menuconfig` so that you get the blue and grey text menu:

      General setup  --->
  [ ] Enable loadable module support  --->
  -*- Enable the block layer  --->

… then hit the forward-slash key ("/") and type "user_ns".

If your kernel supports this option then it'll show where to find it, and any dependencies.

Right now I'm connected to a system running 3.0.3, so I can't speak for your kernel version. But here this shows:

  Symbol: USER_NS [=y]
  Type  : boolean
  Prompt: User namespace (EXPERIMENTAL)
    Defined at init/Kconfig:790
    Depends on: NAMESPACES [=y] && EXPERIMENTAL [=y]
    Location:
      -> General setup
        -> Namespaces support (NAMESPACES [=y])

HTH,
