However, reading through your initial description on Tuesday, none of these fit: You want to actually measure the kernel time on TCP communication costs. So, have You tried attaching "strace -c -f -p PID" to the actual application processes? As a starter You may invoke the benchmark using: mpirun -np 4 strace -c -f ./benchmark (which however includes initialization and all other system calls)... Hope this helps.
