Previously when the incorrect binary was used for decode, Perf would silently continue to generate incorrect samples. With OpenCSD 1.5.4 we can enable consistency checks that do a best effort to detect a mismatch in the image. When one is detected a warning is printed and sample generation stops until the trace resynchronizes with a good part of the image.
