Move bulk of allocation logic to allocation_pass

Adds support for globals
SO......
*I'm not merging this because it's complete, but because I don't want it to diverge from master too much.
*Stuff I still need to complete:
-> Structs and eval expressions in these globals.
-> handling the global keyword.
-> assigning back to the global and reading from inside a function.
-> Basically, `global` keyword in Python is used to write only and reading can be done directly without declaring as global as a direct assign without global declaration is going to diverge from Python.
-> The above logic is going to be supported by `global_sym_tab` generated using the new order of passes that we are doing.
-> This needs to be fixed and done ASAP to avoid conflicts. so yes, im  gonna do it soon.

+
+Python-BPF is an LLVM IR generator for eBPF programs written in Python. It uses [llvmlite](https://github.com/numba/llvmlite) to generate LLVM IR and then compiles to LLVM object files. These object files can be loaded into the kernel for execution. Python-BPF performs compilation without relying on BCC.
+
+> **Note**: This project is under active development and not ready for production use.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+* Generate eBPF programs directly from Python.
+* Compile to LLVM object files for kernel execution.
+* Built with `llvmlite` for IR generation.
+* Supports maps, helpers, and global definitions for BPF.
+* Companion project: [pylibbpf](https://github.com/pythonbpf/pylibbpf), which provides the bindings required for object loading and execution.
+
+---
+
+## Installation
+
+Dependencies:
+
+* `clang`
+* Python ≥ 3.8
+
+Install via pip:
+
+```bash
+pip install pythonbpf pylibbpf
+```
+
+---
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```python
+import time
+from pythonbpf import bpf, map, section, bpfglobal, BPF
+from pythonbpf.helper import pid
+from pythonbpf.maps import HashMap
+from pylibbpf import *
+from ctypes import c_void_p, c_int64, c_uint64, c_int32
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+
+# This program attaches an eBPF tracepoint to sys_enter_clone,
+# counts per-PID clone syscalls, stores them in a hash map,
+# and then plots the distribution as a histogram using matplotlib.
+# It provides a quick view of process creation activity over 10 seconds.
+
+@bpf
+@map
+def hist() -> HashMap:
+    return HashMap(key=c_int32, value=c_uint64, max_entries=4096)
+
+
+@bpf
+@section("tracepoint/syscalls/sys_enter_clone")
+def hello(ctx: c_void_p) -> c_int64:
+    process_id = pid()
+    one = 1
+    prev = hist().lookup(process_id)
+    if prev:
+        previous_value = prev + 1
+        print(f"count: {previous_value} with {process_id}")
+        hist().update(process_id, previous_value)
+        return c_int64(0)
+    else:
+        hist().update(process_id, one)
+    return c_int64(0)
+
+
+@bpf
+@bpfglobal
+def LICENSE() -> str:
+    return "GPL"
+
+
+b = BPF()
+b.load_and_attach()
+hist = BpfMap(b, hist)
+print("Recording")
+time.sleep(10)
+
+counts = list(hist.values())
+
+plt.hist(counts, bins=20)
+plt.xlabel("Clone calls per PID")
+plt.ylabel("Frequency")
+plt.title("Syscall clone counts")
+plt.show()
+```
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+Python-BPF provides a complete pipeline to write, compile, and load eBPF programs in Python:
+
+1. **Python Source Code**
+
+   * Users write BPF programs in Python using decorators like `@bpf`, `@map`, `@section`, and `@bpfglobal`.
+   * Maps (hash maps), helpers (e.g., `ktime`, `deref`), and tracepoints are defined using Python constructs, preserving a syntax close to standard Python.
+
+2. **AST Generation**
+
+   * The Python `ast` module parses the source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).
+   * Decorators and type annotations are captured to determine BPF maps, tracepoints, and global variables.
+
+3. **LLVM IR Emission**
+
+   * The AST is transformed into LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) using `llvmlite`.
+   * IR captures BPF maps, control flow, assignments, and calls to helper functions.
+   * Debug information is emitted for easier inspection.
+
+4. **LLVM Object File Compilation**
+
+   * The LLVM IR (`.ll`) is compiled into a BPF target object file (`.o`) using `llc -march=bpf -O2`.
+   * This produces a kernel-loadable ELF object file containing the BPF bytecode.
+
+5. **libbpf Integration (via pylibbpf)**
+
+   * The compiled object file can be loaded into the kernel using `pylibbpf`.
+   * Maps, tracepoints, and program sections are initialized, and helper functions are resolved.
+   * Programs are attached to kernel hooks (e.g., syscalls) for execution.
+
+6. **Execution in Kernel**
+
+   * The kernel executes the loaded eBPF program.
+   * Hash maps, helpers, and global variables behave as defined in the Python source.
+   * Output can be read via BPF maps, helper functions, or trace printing.
+
+This architecture eliminates the need for embedding C code in Python, allowing full Python tooling support while generating true BPF object files ready for kernel execution.
+

 ## Development
-Step 0. Make a virtual environment and activate it using `python3 -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate`.  
-Step 1. Run `make install` to install the required dependencies.  
-Step 2. Run `make` to see the compilation output of the example.  
-Step 3. Run `check.sh` to check if generated object file passes through the verifier inside the examples directory.  
-Step 4. Run `make` in the `examples/c-form` directory to modify the example C BPF program to check the actual LLVM IR generated by clang.  
 
-### Development Notes
-Run ` ./check.sh run execve2.o;` in examples folder
+1. Create a virtual environment and activate it:
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv .venv
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+
+   ```bash
+   make install
+   ```
+   Then, run any example in `examples`
+3. Verify an object file with the kernel verifier:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./tools/check.sh check execve2.o
+   ```
+
+5. Run an object file using `bpftool`:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./tools/check.sh run execve2.o
+   ```
+
+6. Explore LLVM IR output from clang in `examples/c-form` by running `make`.
