As follows from Bash manpage it will read and execute /etc/profile, and
the _first_ readable file from the list (it will try them in listed
order) ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login and ~/.profile, not all of these
files. As one of them is read and executed, others will not be tried.
For non-interactive or non-login shells the list of profile files may be
different (depending on options given to bash when it is started).
It should be also noted that the profile files can themselves reference
and execute other profiles, such as profiles in /etc/profile.d or ~/.bashrc.
