It's not a Solaris specific feature; FreeBSD has it as well:

Linux is the one lagging behind, as usual.

How is embedding source code an "ASLR bypass"?

OK, it's a dtrace thing that got ported to FreeBSD with dtrace. That still doesn't make it "Unix" any more than Linux's proc access.

Embddeding debugging information in a way that allows to you to use it (ie. in a way that you'd care about the format as an end user) implies giving you kernel addresses, which implies an ASLR bypass. If it's an implementation detail, then DWARF works great.

And if "FreeBSD has it too" is our standard for portable UNIX features, then /proc counts thanks to linprocfs.

/proc on Linux wasn't implemented like /proc is on other operating systems; it's the only /proc implemented that way. The interface, if it could even be called that, is completely proprietary to Linux; output is ad hoc with no consistency. As usual.

Again, which bypass? If you attach to a process you will see machine code and it will be stored at memory addresses.
