perf evlist: Explicititely initialize input_name
It was a global variable, so it was initialized, implicitely, to zero by being placed in the bss. Now it is just a local variable that is then passed to the __cmd_evlist routine, so it must be explicitely set to NULL. The problem manifested on a Fedora 17 system, using: gcc version 4.7.0 20120507 (Red Hat 4.7.0-5) (GCC) But not on several other systems, by luck.
