All executable pages are read-only, and data pages have the execute-never permission set. Normally .text from the loaded ExeFS:/.code is the only mapped executable memory. Executable [[RO Services|CROs]] can be loaded into memory, once loaded the CRO .text section memory page permissions are changed via [[SVC|ControlProcessMemory]] from RW- to R-X.
