See https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseProcess.html

Basically, run:

  $LLVM_DIR/utils/release/test-release.sh -release x.y.z

Note that this does not directly test tarballs, but checks out the
selected tags from Subversion.

However, there is a -no-checkout option to skip the checkouts, so
presumably you can substitute your own extracted directory.  I have
never done that, so it may or may not work. :)
