So I'm guessing you want the accumulated time for the ipa_passes and expansion. So independent counters using timevar_{start,stop} seem right.
The alternate approach would be to use the timevar_{push,pop}. This would change what timevar is on the top of the stack when we call ipa_passes and expand_all_functions -- it would, in effect, allow us to determine how much time is spent in those functions which is _not_ attributable to existing timevars. I just want to confirm your intent before acking/naking. jeff
