dsolve(diff(y(x),x$2)+x*diff(y(x),x)=x,y(x), singsol=all)
\[ y \left (x \right ) = \frac {c_{1} \sqrt {\pi }\, \sqrt {2}\, \operatorname {erf}\left (\frac {x \sqrt {2}}{2}\right )}{2}+x +c_{2} \]

DSolve[y''[x]+x*y'[x]==x,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
\[ y(x)\to \sqrt {\frac {\pi }{2}} c_1 \text {erf}\left (\frac {x}{\sqrt {2}}\right )+x+c_2 \]
