I found that there are many spelling errors in the comments of qemu,
so I used the spellcheck tool to check the spelling errors
and finally found some spelling errors in the folder.

Hmm I thought this was correct usage as s's -> s' but apparently that is
only a given rule for possessive plural nouns (processes' PIDs) -
although apparently it is possible to have singular nouns in plural
forms so what do I know :-/

Yes, this is one case where s's is valid.  But if it bothers you, you 
can always rewrite to:

/* Return the PID of the default process */
