My guess is that u want to measure the time taken to execute a
function in microseconds.
something like
start_time
YOUR_FUNCTION
end_time

for this i use  something like this declare
struct timeval tv in your function

and insert printk statements before and after calling to your function

do_gettimeofday(&tv);
 printk ("Before  %s (): Sec = %d    micro Sec = %d\n", __FUNCTION__,
tv.tv_sec, tv.tv_usec);
call_to_your_function(();
 printk ("After %s (): Sec = %d    micro Sec = %d\n", __FUNCTION__,
tv.tv_sec, tv.tv_usec);
