Subject"make oldconfig" should show the defaults being taken
From
When executing "make oldconfig", the Configure script nicely prints
all the configuration questions whose answers are being taken from
your old .config file. But it doesn't print the answers, so the
resulting output is useless to document the configuration or explain
what the CONFIG_* symbols mean.

The following patch causes the default answers to be printed, followed
by "[defaulted]", so you know they are not user input.
