10 years?
I suppose the whole red sun radiation thing hasn't come up yet, but if "all the info in the world" includes Lex's K-nite research Tony could conceivably synthesize an artificial form of Kryptonite, or at least incorporate the wavelength into some type of microwave emitter (or whatever)
Depends on how much prep and how much info Tony will have access to. As another poster mentioned, a vibranium suit would give Superman pause. A nuke was also enough to KO Superman and might have permanently taken him out had he not been recharged by sunlight. That's not including Pym's shrinking technology. IM can probably just throw one of those shrinking discs at Superman, configure it to make him subatomic.
I'm not saying IM wins, just saying that there are ways for him to win given enough prep.
with Prep T.I. It's like this, if Batman can figure out a way to compete with Superman (for whatever reason) in a short amount of time... what do you think Tony could do in longer? He is every bit as intelligent as Batman, even more so when it comes to science and technology. He has just as many resources to implement any plan he comes up with. With enough prep he could figure out a way to create a synthetic version of K-Nite... he could simply open up a portal and BFR Superman.... figure out a way to use Lois or the people he loves to his advantage... figure out a way to capture Superman in a some kind of stasis field or chamber. So are so many things a hyper genius like Stark could come up with In Re: Prep. The only issue he'd run into is, is if didn't have much knowledge of Superman and history. That could be a negative if not given enough. However, if he gets enough.. and given a decent amount of time... Tony would find a way.
And this is considering Tony only has access to Earthly tech. If he managed to tap in to Asgardian tech and weapons... that would be something else.
After all if I was Tony and I was scheduled for a death duel with a super powerful alien, I'd ask knowledge, training and assistance from all my friends. That includes the prince of Asgard.

When has Tony Stark ever had access to such a suit? Did he build a vibranium suit or something?I realize he helped design Ultron, but that wasn't all Tony Stark.
Because now that AoU has completed, Tony Stark knows where to get more vibranium and what it does. And if you're going up against someone like Superman and had 1 year prep time, wouldn't you build a suit with the strongest material you know existed? Tony Stark isn't dumb you know.

You're basically at this point giving Tony access to all the technology on Marvel Earth, but he really doesn't normally have access to stuff from Asgard nor does he have Pym shrinking tech or any of that. This is basically then "the technology of the marvel universe vs superman".
Tony Stark, specifically tapping into stuff from his own Stark resources or whatever..can't win this fight.
