If you specify -G:+PrintFlags (or simply specify an invalid Graal option like -G:XXYYZZ) you get a listing of the supported Graal options:

% mx vm -G:+PrintFlags
[Graal flags]
  boolean AlignCallsForPatching                    = true
  boolean AllowExplicitExceptionChecks             = true
  boolean AlwaysInlineIntrinsics                   = false
  boolean AlwaysInlineVTableStubs                  = false
    float BoostInliningForEscapeAnalysis           = 2.0
  boolean CacheGraphs                              = true
  boolean CanOmitFrame                             = true
  boolean CheckCastElimination                     = true
      int CheckcastMaxHints                        = 2
   double CheckcastMinHintHitProbability           = 0.5
  boolean CreateDeoptInfo                          = false
  boolean CullFrameStates                          = false
...


Some time soon, this listing will include documentation for each flag.
