Found an interesting JVM Flag :

java -XX:+UnlockDiagnosticVMOptions -XX:+PrintFlagsFinal -version

It prints hundreds of various options, I never heard about before. It also prints default values, that helps diagnose JVM behaviors better. Another interesting flag is: 

-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions

Does anyone knows of any documentation which explains each one of them ?

Do not miss also -XX:+JVMCIPrintProperties for Graal JIT options.

Before dive into sources you can skim over following extracts and find suitable option faster:
