Isn't this in the FAQ ?
Two tools that work excellent together, are bonsai and lxr (of www.mozilla.org and lxr.linux.no respectively). Bonsai let you query and browse CVS histories, and LXR let you cross-reference the files and every function/variable. Check out the demo at lxr.linux.no for example (indexing the latest kernels).
Both install as web scripts so you can use a normal browser from anywhere. Bonsai might require some twiddling to get to work so try LXR first, it's easy to configure (if you don't have a CVS tree not much point using bonsai either).
