Power usage of parts of a program

Is it possible to profile the power usage of parts of a program? Fox example a function call.

 

I am interested in profiling the power usage of linear solvers with different threading and matrix sizes, but want to exclude the power used to generate the matrix, allocate memory and etc.

 

I am aware that I can see the power used between two moments of time. Perhaps I can place sampling points manually before and after a function call?

Counters for Power are for HW IP blocks and not assigned for application (programs executed). So we can't use SoC Watch for profiling the power usage of parts of a program.

Is there a way to relate the sample points to where in the execution of the program they are? Or to set sampling points manually from a program?
