The easiest test is to verify what VMVersion was able to parse out of flags:


$ build/linux-x86_64-server-release/images/jdk/bin/java -Xlog:os+cpu 2>&1 | grep clwb --color

# Before: Only the raw CPU flags (from the system) contain `clwb`
[0.002s][info][os,cpu] flags		: ... clflushopt clwb ...

# After: "CPU" line now also recognizes clwb is available
[0.002s][info][os,cpu] CPU: ... clflushopt, clwb ...
[0.002s][info][os,cpu] flags		: ... clflushopt clwb ...
